In every family, sooner or later this time comes - repair. And besides all the possible problems, one of the questions that may arise at the initial stage is where to find a place so that you can ensure safe storage of furniture during the repair.
Why take something somewhere?
If your apartment is two or three bedroom, it will not be a special problem to transfer furniture from one room to another, and make repairs in an empty room.
You can do the same with repairs in the house, because in fact, furniture will be stored for free and right at your side. Of course, this is not an option for a one-room apartment, and so it is impossible to make repairs in all rooms at the same time, if you want to make it faster. That is, consider the time factor. For quick repair of the entire apartment, this method is not the best option, although with its own advantages.
Garage, cottage and the like
If possible, then a fairly inexpensive option would be to pay for transporting things to your own cottage or to put furniture in your garage. Such storage of furniture is also somewhat simpler, since this is your territory, which you can protect from hacking, and constantly monitor the integrity of the furniture there. The only thing that is difficult at this point is transportation. Not always the cottage is nearby, and garages, sometimes, are somewhere quite far away. Therefore, in this case, you have to fork out for the transportation of furniture, or for fuel, if you have your own car, or for transportation services and to order a special car.
Option for the house where the apartments are rented
It is likely that in any multi-storey multi-access building there is an apartment for rent. In this case, furniture storage during the repair can be arranged there. Of course, you will have to pay, and perhaps you will agree on some minimum amounts, which are often quite large, but not higher than the monthly rental price for rental housing. To take things somewhere to the country cottage for a long time, and this saves time for work, in fact, on the repair. At times it will be faster to transport furniture in one staircase than several kilometers out of town. Moreover, the very same cottage is not always available, and the object for which the room is intended should also be in the garage. If you are lucky, a suitable apartment can also be rented out on your stairwell , where you can safely transfer all the excess from the repaired room without even moving up and down the stairs. So the storage of furniture will again be in the circle of your field of vision, and at any time you can go check its safety. The option of a couple of floors lower or higher is also suitable, because in any case you will have to lower and raise furniture if you take it out of the apartment. Even if there is no such rental housing in your house, it’s nice to look for possible options in neighboring houses.
Furniture Storage Services

Companies of this profile purposefully preserve all kinds of things during moving, repairs, and even during business trips, if someone is worried about the safety of their property and is afraid to leave the apartment for a long time unattended. Such services are provided not only for ordinary citizens, but also for businessmen, for organizations that, for whatever reason, are changing their location.
