• Climate Control
  • Is climate control needed for the goods you are putting into self storage? Valuable furniture, important paper documents should be stored in climate controlled units if being store more than 60 days.
• Condensation Insulation
  • Check for insulation on the roof of the self storage units. A blanket of ceiling insulation prevents condensation from forming on the ceiling and dripping onto your contents.

  • Is the facility well maintained?
  • Are the buildings in good shape?
