Benefits of Climate-Controlled Storage

With over 50 years of experience in this industry, we know all about the benefits of professional moving and storage services. There are many benefits to storing your belongings in a climate-controlled unit, including: 

Preparing Items for Climate-Controlled Storage

When preparing your items for storage in a climate-controlled unit, it's essential to ensure they are properly packed to maximize protection. Use high-quality, durable boxes and wrap fragile items in bubble wrap or packing paper to guard against any potential shifting or jostling. It's advisable to disassemble larger pieces of furniture to save space and prevent stress on joints. Electronics should be stored in their original packaging when possible, or alternatively, wrapped in anti-static bubble wrap. Proper preparation and packing are key to maintaining the condition of your belongings while they benefit from the stable environment of a climate-controlled storage unit provided by Colonial Moving & Storage.

Insurance of Items in Storage

When opting for climate-controlled storage with Colonial Moving & Storage, it's important to consider insurance and liability for your stored items. While climate-controlled environments significantly reduce the risk of damage from temperature fluctuations and humidity, having insurance is a prudent measure to protect against unforeseen circumstances. We recommend checking if your homeowner’s or renter’s insurance policy covers items in storage, or alternatively, exploring other insurance options. In the unlikely event of damage occurring while in our climate-controlled units, our policy and procedures for addressing such issues will be clearly outlined in our rental agreement, ensuring transparency and peace of mind for our clients.
