Many of our customers are surprised to hear that our full-service storage, where we pick up, wrap, and securely store your items and deliver them back to you when you need them, is only $70 per month. That's significantly less expensive than self-service storage options on the North Fork.
If you're not planning on going back and forth to your storage unit very often, it might be the perfect option for you. By eliminating the 24-hour access premium, you can have us do all the heavy lifting, store your items properly, and still come out ahead.
Here are some of the pros and cons of both self and full-service storage on the North Fork to help you make an informed decision.
North Fork Self Storage: Pros and Cons
Pros:
24/7 Access: Self-storage facilities typically offer round-the-clock access to your belongings. This can be convenient for those who need to retrieve or store items at unconventional hours.
Flexible Space Options: Many self-storage units come in various sizes, allowing you to choose the exact amount of space you need.
Do-It-Yourself Approach: Self-storage allows you to manage and organize your storage space as you see fit.
Cons:
Lack of Professional Handling: When using self-storage, you are responsible for packing, moving, and organizing your items, which can be time-consuming and physically demanding.
Security Concerns: While many self-storage facilities offer security measures, they may not provide the same level of security as full-service storage options.
Higher Costs: Surprisingly, self-storage can be more expensive in the long run due to the need for packing materials, transportation costs, and potential security upgrades, not to mention the aches and pains.
Full Service Storage: Pros and Cons
Pros:
Professional Handling: At Jernick Moving and Storage, we ensure that all your furniture is wrapped in blankets and other items are securely stored in containers. Our professional team handles everything from packing to transportation, ensuring your belongings are safe and well-protected. Many of the people we help move will store items with us until they're better settled in. Interior decorators will often ship items to us to store for them until they're ready.
Cost-Effective: Many people don't realize that full-service storage can be much less expensive. Jernick charges only $70 plus tax per month, making it an affordable option for those who need reliable storage solutions.
Enhanced Security: Full-service storage facilities can offer superior security measures, including surveillance and secure storage environments, providing peace of mind that your belongings are safe.
Convenient Access: While full-service storage might not offer 24/7 access, it provides flexible access options. Owners can easily pick up or drop off items as needed, making it convenient without the hassle of managing a storage unit yourself.
Personalized Service: Full-service storage offers personalized handling of your items, ensuring they are stored and returned in the same condition. This level of care is especially beneficial for valuable or delicate items.
Cons:
Limited Immediate Access: If you need frequent, immediate access to your items, full-service storage may not be the best fit. However, for most people, the trade-off for enhanced security and professional handling is worth it.
Full-service storage offers lots of advantages besides the lower monthly storage fees. From professional handling and enhanced security to surprising affordability, our full-service storage provides a superior storage solution for those who value convenience, reliability, and peace of mind. For just $70 plus tax per month, you can enjoy the benefits of a full-service storage experience, knowing your belongings are in safe hands.
Whether you’re storing your items while you're doing a home renovation, during the winter months to protect your summer gear, or you just need more room, we have you covered.
