Mikey's Moving and Storage Blog

Hello! My name is Mikey and this is my moving and storage blog. I was inspired to start this blog following a move I made from Perth to Melbourne. I had lived in Perth for the past 7 years so I had acquired a lot of stuff. I was dreading the move because I didn't know how I would transport all of my stuff to my new home. Thankfully, a chum of mine recommended a fantastic moving and storage company. The moving contractors helped me to organise and move my things. I really couldn't have done it without them so I decided to start a new blog detailing my experience.

Why You Should Consider Putting Your Belongings in Storage When Restumping Your Home

Miguel Mitchell

Suppose you're planning on replacing your old rotten wooden flooring with something new and sturdy like a timber-framed ground floor, you'll probably need to take some time to find a place to stay until the builders are finished. 

You can't expect to live in that space without disruption or the risk of tripping over construction materials. Furthermore, it would be best if you had a safe place to store your property. For example, keeping your belongings in an indoor storage unit might be the perfect solution. 

Here are some reasons why renting storage space could benefit you when restumping your home.

Keep your property safe

A restumping project is quite intensive, requiring the use of heavy machinery. That means the restumping contractor will need plenty of space to work and store their equipment. Therefore, leaving your household belongings strewn around takes up most of this space, slowing down the workers. Furthermore, you risk having your tables, chairs and sofas damaged as the restumping is done.

The natural solution is to have these belongings stored away in a safe place. If you do not have adequate storage on your property, your safest bet is to hire a storage unit for the period of the restumping project. Doing this guarantees your precious belongings are kept clean, damage free and safe from the risk of theft. 

It speeds up the restumping process

The last thing you want when remodelling your home is to have a lot of clutter in the way. This problem is more significant when the mess involves belongings that must be handled carefully and preserved. 

As a result, your restumping contractors will need to take a lot of time moving around possessions to avoid damaging them. Not only does this increase the time the contractors spend restumping your home, but it also increases the project's cost. 

Moving your belongings to a storage unit will solve these two significant challenges. It allows your restumping contractor to work efficiently and uninhibited while helping you save a lot of hard-earned money in wasted work hours.

Reducing cleanup work

A restumping project can generate a huge mess. Since the contractor must go through the floor, a lot of dust and debris is produced, which can quickly end up collecting on your valuable belongings. If you have tried cleaning stains from your sofa cushions, you know just how difficult it can be. Certain smells and gunk don't come off quickly, meaning you may need to dig deeper into your pocket to replace your furniture.

All this can be avoided by storing your property away in a secure storage unit. Furthermore, the furniture can be wrapped in plastic, ensuring dust doesn't accumulate and stain your belongings while in storage. That will save you a lot of money in cleaning and replacement costs.
