In every family, sooner or later, this time comes - repairs. And besides all the possible problems, one of the questions that may arise even at the initial stage is where to find a place so that you can ensure the safe storage of furniture during the repair.
Why take something somewhere?
If your apartment has two or three rooms, it will not be a big problem to move the furniture from one room to another and make repairs in the vacated room.
You can do the same with repairs in the house, because in fact, the storage of furniture will be free and right at your side. Of course, this is not an option for a one-room apartment, and so it is impossible to make repairs at the same time in all rooms if you want to make it faster. That is, take into account the time factor. For a quick renovation of the entire apartment, this method is not the best option, although it has its own advantages.
Garage, dacha and the like
If possible, a fairly inexpensive option would be to pay for the transportation of things toown cottage or put furniture in your garage. This storage of furniture is also somewhat easier, since this is your territory, which you can protect from hacking, and constantly monitor the integrity of the furniture located there. The only thing that is difficult at this point is transportation. The dacha is not always nearby, and garages sometimes stand somewhere quite far away. Therefore, in this case, you will have to fork out for the transportation of furniture, or for fuel, if you have your own car, or for transport services and ordering a special car.
Option for a house with apartments for rent
It is likely that in any multi-storey multi-entrance building there is an apartment that is rented out. In this case, the storage of furniture during the repair can be arranged there. Of course, you will have to pay, and you may agree on some minimum amounts, which are often quite large, but not more than the price for renting a rental property per month. It takes a long time to take things out somewhere to a country cottage, and this saves time for work, in fact, on repairs. It will be much faster to transport furniture in one entrance than several kilometers out of town. Moreover, there is not always the same cottage, and in the garage there should be an object for which the room is intended. If you're lucky, a suitable apartment can also be rented on your own stairwell, where you can safely transfer everything superfluous from the renovated premises, without even moving up and down the stairs. So furniture storage will again be incircle of your field of vision, and at any time you can go to check its safety. An option a couple of floors below or above is also suitable, because in any case you will have to lower and raise furniture if you take it out of the apartment. Even if there is no such rental housing in your house, it is a good idea to look for possible options in neighboring houses.
Furniture Storage Services
In big cities, in regional centers and in many other places, a service is being developed that provides temporary storage of furniture for various periods. Companies of this profile are purposefully engaged in the preservation of various kinds of things during a move, repair, and even during a business trip, if someone is worried about the safety of their property and is afraid to leave the apartment unattended for a long time. Such services are provided not only for ordinary citizens, but also for businessmen, for organizations that, for some reason, change their location.
Companies offer furniture storage in a warehouse under enhanced security and storage conditions appropriate for furniture products. Security is guaranteed by a modern alarm system and the presence of security guards. Conditions affect temperature and humidity, which are optimal for storage without spoilage. They also use the necessary materials for packaging any type of furniture: these can be cardboard boxes and air bubble wrap; an option with stretch film and special covers for soft products is also provided.
Additional offers
Morecompanies offer delivery services. Workers carefully record the quantity and name of all items to be stored in the warehouse, and videotape to record exactly which items were deposited. This is a guarantee that your furniture will be found, even in case of some incomprehensible situations, and force majeure always happens. This, of course, will cost more than just throwing the furniture in the garage. But, if you value it, and finances allow you, then this option is the best thing to offer.
There are always relatives and friends who can shelter your furniture for a while, but it is better to look for another option that will bring less discomfort to your loved ones and friends.
