SMARTBOX – The smart way to plan a move.

All storage facilities are not created equal. When you are looking to use temporary storage in between moves, for home staging or while you are remodeling, it is important to choose the right storage company.

You may not be an art dealer and have priceless paintings, but the paintings you do own should be kept in a climate controlled storage facility to prevent humidity from ruining the print or the frame. All of your furnishings will benefit from climate controlled storage. Paintings, antiques, prints, and upholstered furniture can easily get damaged when placed in an environment with a high level of humidity. It doesn’t take long for humidity and inconsistent temperatures to ruin your belongings.

The combination of good air circulation in your storage container stored within our temperature controlled storage facilities equals well stored and preserved furnishings.

Use thick, black markers for marking your boxes. You want to be able to see the writing from a few feet away.

Mark the boxes on both sides of the box. This avoids having to constantly stop and search the box for the writing.

Always put the name of the room on the box. You can come up with an abbreviated system to identify each room.

Have a priority box for each room. This is the box that holds the essentials that should be opened first.

Mark as FRAGILE where necessary.

Identify the contents. Write a brief description of what is in the box. This will help prioritize the order of opening the boxes after you move.
