Residential Storage

Everyone could use some extra storage and renting a self-storage unit is a great way to free up your home from clutter.

Often people will throw things into a garage or spare bedroom and eventually these rooms become overrun with stuff. Renting out a self-storage unit in Etobicoke, Scarborough and Mississauga can help you reclaim these spaces in your house.

Self-storage is also a valuable tool for when you are looking to sell your home. Any real estate agent will tell you that home staging will get your home sold faster and for a higher price. When staging your home, you need a place to store your excess furniture and personal items, which is where a secure self-storage facility like Storwell comes into play.

Self-storage is also useful when you are moving to a new home. It can be daunting moving all your items into your new place all at once, often leaving you with limited time and space to consider organization and where everything will go. By storing some items in a storage unit beforehand, it will remove some pressure on the move in day and allow you to move stuff into your new home a little bit at a time.

Many people decide to keep their storage unit even after the move because they like the extra storage space. With Storwell’s flexible lease agreement, you can keep your unit for as long as you want.
