Moving from California to West Virginia covers about 2500 miles. This is definitely one of those long haul moves that we at GPS Moving and Storage are so good at. For over 20 years now, we have helped to relocate families and businesses across America from our base in California. And our clients always come back with great reviews thanks to our expertise in long distance moving.
When you take on such a cross country move, you will find that you may need to keep your furniture in storage. It should come as no surprise to you that we have adequate storage units that are modern and climate-controlled at your disposal. Why would one need storage during a move? This is a question that has arisen often and three of the most obvious reasons include;
- Your new home may be undergoing some renovations which will not allow you to move in immediately. In this case, you will need to keep your items in storage.
- Your move may be abrupt which would mean that you will not have a home yet to settle into. Your furniture and household items will likely go into storage in this case.
- If you are selling your home together with the furniture, this may be the best way to keep your items in holding until you get a buyer.
That said, what kind of moving storage should you then look out for?
Moving storage features to look out for
Once you have established that you need storage for your home furniture before your move to Charleston, these are some of the features of the storage unit that you should settle on.
- Climate-controlled
A climate-controlled storage unit should maintain a constant temperature all year round no matter the season. A basic temperature of 55 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit is ideal to prevent any mold from forming on your household items and leading to damage. Additionally, having humidity control is an added advantage in a storage unit that you are looking to use. Our storage units in San Diego and Chula Vista have all these features.
- Clean units
If you drive into the location where the storage units are said to be and you are confronted by tall weeds, rubbish and trash all over, be wary of using such a facility. Unclean compound/facilities will create an environment that is conducive for rodents to thrive. You definitely do not want rodents near your household items especially for extended periods of time.
- Accessibility
How easy is it to get to these storage units? Is the area manned 24/7 for easy retrieval of your items? All these are important factors to consider as you check out a storage unit for your household items. Additionally, the storage units should have customer service in case of any emergencies that may come up.
