A home renovation can be exciting—and more than a little stressful. Whether it's a one-room makeover or a whole-home overhaul, there will almost certainly be some disruption to your life and routine. However, renting a storage unit will relieve stress and help streamline the renovation work ahead, accomplishing these goals in a few different ways.

How a Storage Unit Can Help During a Home Renovation

1. Protect Your Belongings

During the course of any renovation work, there will be tools and equipment moving in and out of your home, belongings relocated to allow workers easier access to the workspace, and a significant amount of construction dust and debris generated. These situations can easily result in damage to your belongings. Electronics, fabrics like curtains and upholstery, and fragile items like antiques and glass tables are particularly at risk of being damaged during renovation. Putting them into storage removes them from the home and keeps them safe and secure throughout the work.

2. Minimize Clutter

Many homeowners simply move items from the part of the home where the work is to take place to another part of the home where there will be no renovations. This can quickly clutter up the destination spaces to the point that they are overly messy and disorganized at best and impossible to safely navigate at worst. If you plan on living in these rooms during the renovation, clutter can make simple tasks much more difficult and present trip and fall hazards. Moving items into temporary storage gives you more space by instantly decluttering your home.

3. Expect the Unexpected

It's not uncommon for renovation work to take longer than you initially expect. The longer the work goes on, the higher the likelihood of damage to your belongings. Storage units can be rented by the month, so you can reserve one for a month, fill it with items, and if the need arises, extend the reservation another month or more. You'll be better prepared for unexpected delays and have greater peace of mind throughout the renovations.
