Building a New Home? Here’s How Storage Can Simplify the Process

There are plenty of storage options available as you start your new home construction, but which is best for you? You could choose to store all your supplies on-site, but space is often limited, and some bulky, unwieldy, and otherwise hard-to-handle pieces of equipment don’t make sense to take with you to every job.

Instead, opt for self-storage. Our storage facilities give you all the options without the long-term commitment. Rent exactly the amount of space you need for as long as you need it, and enjoy transparent pricing, easy storage unit access, and the ability to upsize or downsize your storage space as your needs change. Browse all our storage unit sizes and find the right one for you and the home you are building with Trunk Space Storage today.

Flexible Contractor Storage Units

One of the greatest benefits you can get from self-storage over a warehouse is the flexibility it offers. Warehouses have limited selections, often forcing you to invest in more space than you actually need. There are also frequently considerable fees and hidden costs with warehouses, while lengthy contracts leave little room for adjustments as your project progresses.

Self-storage with Trunk Space Storage is different. All our storage units, from our small 5×5 storage units to our large 300+ square-foot spaces, are available on month-to-month leases. This allows you to choose between short-term and long-term storage as your needs change. 

Short-Term or Long-Term Storage—Your Choice

If you find out a project will take a few extra months, no worries—you can continue to rent your unit for as long as you need. If you find out you need more room or you wrap up construction early, you’ll never have to wait more than a month to make changes to your lease, helping you use the storage you need without overspending.

Climate-Controlled Storage for General Contractors in Santa Monica​

Remember that while you may store all your tools, supplies, equipment, and all your other gear in the same place, that doesn’t mean they are equally durable. This is especially true if you plan to store any sensitive materials, like timber, which can crack and warp in extreme heat or cold.

You don’t have to gamble with the weather. Instead, store your supplies in a climate-controlled storage unit. Our climate-controlled storage units maintain a consistent temperature range, regardless of the weather outside. This can be helpful for additional materials, such as plastic bins, rubber tools, and cardboard signs, which remain ready for use for years to come.

Drive-up storage may not be at the top of your mind while planning for your next home construction project, but it should be. Traditional enclosed storage units are frequently found behind tight corners and hallways, meaning even if you have room for your 10-foot wooden beams and all your other large supplies, you might not be able to get them to your storage unit’s door.

Drive-up access takes away the hassle. You can unload all your large and bulky equipment, like lumber, outdoor power tools, generators, concrete molds, and more, only a few feet from your storage unit’s entrance. This can help save time, allowing quicker access and return on the road.

Home Construction With Our Accessible Contractor Storage Units 

While customization and affordability are all great reasons to opt for self-storage during your next home construction project, many contractors find accessibility to be the most important factor. Traditional storage options, like a trailer at your main office or a commercial warehouse, limit your location options. 

Find a storage unit near you with Trunk Space Storage. Our locations in Texas, Florida, and other storage facilities in California are strategically located to keep you close to major roadways. This allows you to grab what you need and go on your own schedule without wasting time.
