Guide to Home Renovation with Your Song container:
Renovating your home can be a painful and expensive process. Between money for materials, cost of construction labor and arguing over the new design, driving miles away to store a single room’s displaced furniture is the last thing you need worry over.
Don’t let the inconvenience and expense of traditional off-site storage force you into cluttering the rest of your home with the extra furniture. Instead, let SONG storage make things a little easier on your eyes and your wallet. Have one of our portable storage units delivered to your home so you can keep all your belongings close at hand, but out of your way. Here are a few helpful restoration storage tips from Song to get your restoration off on the right foot.
When renovating your home room by room, use a Song storage container as a temporary room-replacement. Instead of forcing yourself into a rush by shuffling all your furniture into the hallway or stacking and covering it in the center of the room, store the furniture in a Song and move at a pace you can handle.
The key to making the room by room strategy work is having a carefully thought-out attack plan. When remodeling a multi-story house, always work from the top down. That way, carrying furniture to and from your Storage container doesn’t scuff and scratch your pristine new walls or carpet.
Next, if you have two smaller rooms close together, clear them out at the same time. Our storage units have more than enough space and clearing both rooms allows you to split-up the work and finish the work faster. Just make sure that when packing things away, you color-code the furniture and contents of both rooms. The process is easy; all you need is a ball of twine and a pair of color markers.
One of the beauties of using a Song portable storage container instead of off-site storage is that your stuff always stays just outside your house. Since you’re not packing everything into the car and driving it across town, you save a lot of time not boxing every little knick-knack. Most household items are perfectly safe in your song without any boxing at all. Only fragile or breakable items need to be individually packaged when you store them.
Finally, make sure you remember that not everything can be stored in your Song container. Flammable items and live animals are definitely no-no’s, but for a complete list please jump over to our Do’s and Don’ts page.
