Summer home renovation projects can be exciting; giving your home a makeover is always fun. Whether you’re making a few additions, changing the colour scheme or doing an entire remodel, it adds value to your property and amps up the pizazz! The part that’s not so fun is all the intensive work that goes into making your home more aesthetically tuned to your taste. It often involves lots of tools, moving around heavy furniture and practically rearranging everything to make room for your renovation project, which can get stressful. What if we told you there’s a way to streamline the whole process to lift some of that pressure off you? It’s self-storage! Space Centre Storage’s portable MI-BOX and on-site storage units can greatly help.
Here are a few ways in which self-storage units can make your home renovation project easier:
Clutter-free Workspace
Renovation projects always require furniture, decor, and other knick knacks lying around to be moved out of the way to make space for repainting or remodelling. While you could move these items into different rooms or the garage, it would only be a matter of time before you have to shuffle things around again to restore those spaces, and who wants to deal with that hassle? So, the best solution is to rent one of our portable MI-BOX containers. They're easy to store outside your home and make for a secure space to store all of your belongings that are not in use for a clutter-free space and better efficiency while renovating.
MI-BOX storage containers fit a standard parking spot; store them on your driveway or inside our climate-controlled warehouse!
Protect Your Belongings
If you’re carrying out some major renovations this summer, you could probably end up with several sub-trades contractors moving in and out of your house. You wouldn’t want your items to be cumbersome to them while they work, and more importantly, you may not always be there to keep an eye on the people or processes. Plus, furniture can easily get scuffed, scratched or stained while being moved, and that’s the last thing you want to worry about amidst Kelowna’s scorching temps.
So, to avoid all these potential stressors, our MI-BOX containers are ideal for easy access, safely tucking away items, and protecting them from damage or inevitable paint spills. If you don’t have a ton of space outside your home or your renovation will span a really long time, one of our climate-controlled self-storage units could be a better fit. They’ll protect your items from the weather, offer excellent security, and be easily accessible on all days of the week.
Safe Storage of Equipment
Many tools and equipment, from machine drills to paint rollers, will be lying around when renovation is ongoing. Store these tools in a MI-BOX storage container to keep them organized and avoid potential hazards. This way, the frenzy of renovating will not prevent you from locating the right tools when you need them, and you won’t spend hours looking for them because they’re covered in dust or debris or left in another room.
Self-Storage Can Help You See the ‘Full Picture’
With all of your belongings and furniture moved out of the way, you will be able to fully envision what you want your space to look like after the renovation is complete—confused between colour schemes for the living room? This will give you clarity! It will also allow you the freedom to pay attention to your project from start to finish, with peace in knowing that your belongings are stored safely away from possible damage. The best part is, with all of your items out of the way, you can decide which items you want to keep in your home and which ones can remain in storage, so when the renovation is complete, your home will be tidy and clutter-free!
