make sure all of your belongings are RODENT PROOF! i was on the basement floor and came in to one of my mattress toppers destroyed by mice. the insurance they provide did not cover it. thankfully, the kind employee was able to get me a different unit (hence the 2 stars). if i had been able to move all my stuff into another company, i would have. ...

Love the staff here, but the hours on google need to be updated. I would love it if they also included their break hours. I have a small storage unit that can only be accessed through the lobby. I’ve end up lugging stuff back and forth from my apartment three times to be met with “will be back” at various different times. For reference to others, as per their website and door, they are closed Mondays and Sundays, and are open Tuesday-Saturday from 10AM-5PM, not including breaks for the staff. On top of that, expect semi-annual rent raises. They keep it pretty reasonable and still remain the cheapest in the area. ... Read more

Mice infestation! They have issues with mice since last summer. My unit got destroyed by rodents! Over $2k in damage! The owner claims the issue is being taken care of but the mice never went away as every month I return to my unit and discover new damage! The contract you sign when renting the unit mentions no responsibility of the owner for any damage including damage done by rodents so you will be left on your own to deal with your loss. They offered $10 discount for the next 6 months for me and also went Mia when needed to confirm the transaction. Be mindful of this went renting from them! ... Read more

These amenities include Climate-Controlled, Indoor, Drive-Up Access, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, Truck Rentals, Parking, Credit Cards Accepted, Multi-Level Storage and Online Payment. Most of these amenities can prove to be very useful depending on what you need to store. For example, climate-controlled units can come in handy for keeping sensitive items, drive-up access can make your loading and unloading process easier, and extra security measures will ensure your items are kept safe at all times.

The storage units offered by Self Storage 1 - 3839 Sheffield Avenue can satisfy all of your storage needs. Different sizes here range from 16 to 150 square feet. You can go for smaller units if you don't have a lot of items to store, while choosing a larger space is recommended in case you need to store a lot of furniture, bigger items or even vehicles.

The unit size that you should choose obviously depends on how much stuff you need to store. On the one hand, you should think of smaller units (5'x5' or 5'x10') as closets – they can be used to store chairs, lamps, moving boxes and sports equipment, along with smaller pieces of furniture, books and documents.

On the other hand, the 10'x10' and 10'x15' spaces are good for storing larger items of furniture, bicycles and a larger number of possessions. If you need even more space, then 10'x20' and 10'x30' units can easily accommodate the contents of an entire 3- or 4-bedroom house.

Storage units offered by Self Storage 1 - 3839 Sheffield Avenue come at a variety of prices, starting from $40 per month for typically smaller units. However, larger spaces can set you back up to $223 a month.

We know that when it comes to self storage, there is nothing more important than quickness and accessibility. Drive-up access is an extremely convenient amenity, as you can park your vehicle right next to your unit, making it significantly easier to load and unload the items you will use storage for. However, drive-up storage units tend to be outdoors, so you might consider indoor storage spaces with climate control if you're looking to keep temperature-sensitive items in peak condition.

Yes, you might, depending on what you need to put in storage. Climate-controlled spaces keep temperatures and humidity levels consistent all the time, which means they are perfect for storing sensitive items. Seeing that a whole host of things can be damaged by varying temperatures and excessive moisture, many people choose to rent climate-controlled units for personal items such as documents, photographs, paintings, collectibles, electronics, wooden furniture, antiques and even vehicles. If you're looking to store such items that are valuable to you, consider renting a climate-controlled unit!
