Summer is the perfect season to complete a home remodeling project. With warm weather and longer days, contractors can keep the plans on track. You'll need to relocate your belongings to create space in the worksite. Here are reasons to put your possessions in a self-storage facility during the remodel. 

Why Should You Invest in Self-Storage During a Summer Remodel?

1. Convenience

You might be tempted to use another room in your house as a makeshift storage unit to hold belongings from rooms that are part of the remodel. You won't be able to use the room for its intended purpose when the space is filled with extra objects. The addition of bulky furniture can also make it difficult to navigate the space. 

When you rent a unit in a self-storage facility, you won't have to go through the inconvenience of repurposing another room in your house for storage. You can also organize furniture and boxes in the unit so you can find different objects quickly.   

2. Safety

Keeping fragile and expensive objects and possessions with sentimental value in the home during a remodel is a bad idea. Contractors need wide clearances to move ladders, large power tools, and additional machinery. Objects could get bumped and knocked off walls while work is underway. Belongings could also become covered with sawdust and other construction debris. When you opt for off-site storage, you can rest easy knowing your property will be out of harm's way. Furthermore, storage facilities are well-lit, protected by fencing and gated entrances, and include video surveillance on-site to deter vandalism and break-ins. 

3. Reduced Liability

Keeping your belongings in the home could be dangerous. For instance, contractors could trip over cords to electronic devices, bump into table corners, or get cut on broken glass. If the remodeling company does not carry worker's compensation and general liability insurance, you are responsible for covering the costs of the injured worker's medical bills and repairing and replacing damaged property. Placing your belongings in off-site storage will create a safe worksite to reduce your liability and protect you from financial loss.
