If you picked three or more 2’s…a small to large sized self-storage unit is the perfect place to safely store your most important items.
In most cases, storing priceless family heirlooms, collectibles, future hand-me-down baby items, and antiques requires much more effort than just keeping a few boxes packed up in the attic or basement — especially if these aren’t temperature-controlled spaces. Instead, it’s important to utilize a self-storage unit that won’t be prone to pests or rising moisture levels and unstable temperatures.
Avoid the heartbreak of finding moldy and mildewy items when you use a Morningstar Storage temperature-controlled unit, keeping your things well-preserved for many more years to come.
If you picked three or more 3’s…it’s time to consider the different types of vehicle storage options that Morningstar Storage offers its customers.
There are a three options to consider when it comes to storing a vehicle such as a car or truck in self-storage:
- Uncovered, outdoor storage: The most cost-effective option that keeps your vehicle safe and secure but still out in the elements.
- Covered, outdoor storage: Keeping your vehicle safe from direct sunlight, rain, snow, etc. but susceptible to whatever the wind blows its way.
- Indoor storage: The most expensive but safest solution to keeping your vehicle out of the elements and secure in its own space.
Morningstar Storage is proud to offer each of these storage solutions in a variety of sizes, allowing us to store even your largest recreational vehicles (RVs), 4-wheelers, dirt bikes, motorcycles, jet skis, trailers, etc.
If you picked three or more 4’s…check out our sister company, Morningstar Marinas, and see how we can safely store both your seasonal items and your large watercraft.
Depending on the size of your boat, you may be able to utilize one of Morningstar Storage’s larger units — for example, a kayak or canoe can seamlessly fit in these spaces with your seasonal decor and furniture. However, if you’re looking to store a larger watercraft such as a pontoon or fishing boat, we highly recommend learning more about our sister company, Morningstar Marinas, who offers a variety of the following storage options:
- Dry storage: Keep your vessel away from the elements to maintain its integrity over the cold, damp winter months. Your boat is stored on a multi-level rack in a completely enclosed building or on an outdoor rack system under a roof. Anytime you want to use your boat, our expert team will lift, launch, retrieve, and return your boat seamlessly.
- Wet slips: In-water dockage via designated wet slips with electric, water, and WiFi hook ups at the ready. We also offer call-ahead concierge services for easy access anytime.
- Winterization services: If you choose to berth your boat at a private dock or store it on a trailer, we also offer indoor dry services and winterization services to protect your boat against the winter elements and can get it ready in the spring.
