HOW TO STORE YOUR BELONGINGS IN YOUR UNIT:

Here are some tips on how to pack certain items for your storage unit.

HOME RENOVATIONS:

Are you planning to build an annex to your home to gain some extra space? Or are you remodelling your kitchen, or re-flooring an entire section of your house?

DIVORCE / SEPARATION:

Are You Considering a Separation or Divorce?

Every year, a certain number of families will deal with a separation or a divorce. They’re some of life’s most stressful events, along with deaths, serious illness or accidents, and losing your job.

BIRTH:

You’re pregnant and you’re thinking of having another child later on?

A baby’s birth, becoming parents and starting a family is an exciting project, but it also means you’ll have to make major changes in your life, especially in terms of your home. But you don’t necessarily have to sell your condo to buy a bigger house just because baby’s on the way.

FROM HOUSE TO CONDO / DOWNSIZING:

Have you been wondering if it’s time you moved into a smaller home and got rid of some of your belongings?

To better assess the situation, ask yourself the following questions:     

SEASONAL SPORTS EQUIPMENT:

Are you a sports enthusiast and enjoy outdoor activities?

Bicycling, camping, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, waterskiing, windsurfing, wakeboarding, golfing, cross-country or downhill skiing, snowshoeing, snowboarding, fatbiking: this is just a short list of all the things you might like to do

SELF STORAGE - GARDEN FURNITURE STORAGE:

Do you need space to store your garden furniture?

Summer ends and the fall brings cooler temperatures. One inconvenience of living in an apartment or condo is that the chairs, table and other things that make your deck or balcony such a comfortable place in the summer can become a burden over the winter.

SELF STORAGE ADVICES :

Here are some tips to make it easier for you to store your belongings in your unit:

• Leave things that you might need during their storage period near your unit’s front door, so you can access them more easily.

RETIREMENT:

Are you ready to retire?

Most people are enthusiastic about moving in together, getting married or having a child, and they publicly celebrate these life events. But when the time comes to retire after a long life of hard work, it all normally happens quite privately. Working less and having more time to relax is a major change in your life: you’ll have to adapt to it gradually as you discover the advantages of your new lifestyle.

SORT YOUR BELONGINGS!

You need to store your belongings and/or you have to move? Take advantage of the situation: clean and sort your belongings as you’re putting them away in boxes!

A NEW RELATIONSHIP:

Are you moving in with your partner?

Your projects and life as a couple will involve a lot of planning and joint projects, such as making a budget, finding a new place to live, sorting your belongings and your partner’s, packing them, moving them, then setting up and decorating your new home.

STUDIES!

You’re a Student & Need to Go Home at the End of the Term?

Your life as a student is full of major challenges. You have to attend class, study, write essays, cram for exams, work on weekends and find an hour here or there to go to the gym…

MOVING:

Do you have to vacate your current living space before you can move into your new home? Or would you like to take some furniture out of your house so it’s easier to show—and more appealing—to potential buyers? Or maybe you need to do some painting before you move into your new apartment?

DE-CLUTTERING & CLEARING SPACE:

Are you running out of space? It sounds like you might need to de-clutter your home.

Over time, all of us tend to end up collecting a lot of stuff—a dusty treasure trove piled up in garages, sheds and bursting closets. As your family gets bigger, the clutter tends to increase; suddenly you realize that the space where everyone left odds and ends has become “the junk room.”

SABBATICAL / LONG-TERM OR OVERSEAS TRAVEL:

Are You Planning a Long Trip?

Whether you’re leaving for a sabbatical or an employment contract abroad, a self-storage unit can solve a lot of problems and help you embark on your new adventure.
