What To Look For In A Self-Storage Facility

What To Look For In A Self-Storage Facility

Below are some things to considering when shopping around for a storage facility.

Security

When you store your items at a self-storage facility, you need peace of mind knowing that they will be as safe as possible. Be sure to look for features like video surveillance, electronic gate access and good lighting when choosing where to store your items. Store All offers coded electronic access, CCTV (recording 24 hours per day), motion and smoke detectors, a monitored security system, individual door alarms (Lears only), a security guard at night (Pine Commercial only), security fencing and good lighting. Contents Protection is also offered for an additional fee.

Location

A location close to where you live, work or are moving to, is key when choosing a storage facility. An easily accessible location is also important. Store All is the only self-storage company in Barbados with three locations, and each is only minutes from the ABC Highway, making them easy to get to, day or night.

Maintenance & Cleanliness

When choosing a self-storage facility, the maintenance and cleanliness of the facility are extremely important, as they are an indication of how the company cares about its tenants and their items. Locations that aren’t well maintained or strewn with litter should be avoided. Store All takes great pride in the appearance of our three facilities. Our managers walk the properties daily, and we have a painter and a maintenance person who rotate between the properties daily.

Customer Service

Storage often happens due to some form of disruption, and tenants need often require information, patience and professionalism. Store All’s team is well trained, and the members are dedicated to helping our tenants with their storage needs. Our storage professionals are knowledgeable, polite and are simply nice people. They are often mentioned by name in the reviews left by our tenants.

 Access Hours

Often tenants need to get access to their items outside of business hours. Store All offers keypad access to indoor storage from 6.00 am to 8.00 pm daily, and access to drive-up storage 24 hours per day, for the convenience of our tenants.
