Top 10 Reasons to Opt for Professional Storage

While Southern California is known for its sprawling space, many residents in Greater Los Angeles, including Santa Clarita, still find that they could benefit from the additional space that storage services can free up. Could professional storage services in Santa Clarita or Los Angeles benefit you? Let’s find out!

Camelot Moving & Storage began offering storage services over 25 years ago to meet a very specific need of our community: to store their belongings while their homes were repaired following the Northridge earthquake. Since then, we have continued to expand and improve our storage services to meet the needs of our community. Through the process, we have learned a lot regarding how, why, and when families in Los Angeles and Santa Clarita can gain the most from professional storage services. Here are the top 10 events when you can make the most of storage services.

Top Ten Reasons for Investing in Storage in Los Angeles

1. Staging Your Home

In the current housing market, a well-staged home is a must! To highlight your home’s potential, you’ll want to move out some furniture, organize the garage, de-personalize, and declutter! Moving items into storage can help your property achieve the open, airy look (and offers) of a model home while also helping you pack up and prepare for Moving Day!

2. Your Closing Date Changed! (And other moving-related obstacles)

Sometimes the transition to your new home can hit a few speed bumps. From rental agreements to delays in escrow to bad weather, you may just need some extra time before settling into your new home, especially if you’re moving a long-distance. For such occasions – even for short-distance moving – a month-to-month storage option in Los Angeles or Santa Clarita may be the bridge you need to make your move easier.

3. Merging Households

Whether you're getting married, moving elderly parents into your home, or welcoming an adult son/daughter back into the home during these difficult financial times, storage will take care of the “things” while you take care of the people getting settled into the shared Los Angeles home.

4. Downsizing

On the flip side, perhaps as “empty nesters,” you’re eager to downsize into a smaller home that demands less time, money, and maintenance once the next generation leaves the nest. Taking advantage of storage in Santa Clarita will allow you more time to hold on to and sort through your belongings that don't fit in your new home.

5. Home Renovation

Home repairs and renovations, while exciting, can be demanding. Give your contractors the space they need by emptying the rooms being renovated. Putting your furniture and appliances in storage can save your belongings some wear and tear and save you some worry!

6. Temporary Relocation

From internships and temporary out-of-the-area work assignments to tours of duty, at times our belongings need a place to stay while we’re away. A secure storage service can give you peace of mind that your belongings are safe and protected until you return home.

7. Estate Management

Saying goodbye to a deceased loved one usually involves properly handling their belongings. This legal process can often take months or longer. Storing the items in a secured, climate-controlled facility while contacting family members will ensure the items are protected throughout the legal process.

8. Between College Dorm Rooms

While your campus is closed for the summer, save yourself the cost and hassle of transporting your belongings home by keeping them in storage in Los Angeles over summer break.

9.  Streamline Your Small Business

Whether you’re just getting your business off the ground from your garage or your small business is beginning to outgrow its space, off-site office storage can be the answer to staying organized and keeping your overhead low!

Businesses that frequently use storage spaces include:

  • Building contractors

  • Skilled craftsmen

  • Antique sellers

  • Book dealers

  • Retail shop owners

  • Sales and merchandising professionals

10. Take Back Your Garage!

Speaking of garages, many are filled with seasonal items, such as sports equipment and holiday décor. Keep your garage organized and car-friendly by storing these items in the off-season.
