At Affordable Storage Guys, we take your trust seriously. When you store your belongings with us, you’re not just renting space; you’re trusting us to help protect your valuables. That’s why we go the extra mile to keep our storage units clean, secure, and pest-free across all our locations, whether they’re managed on-site or remotely.

Here’s what we do behind the scenes, and a few helpful ways you can work with us to keep your unit in excellent condition.

Clean Units You Can Count On

Before you move into a storage unit, our team ensures it’s thoroughly cleaned and move-in ready. We sweep, inspect, and sanitize as needed to give you a fresh, clean space from day one.

Continuous Pest Control for Your Safety

Pest control is more than a one-time effort; it’s a continuous process. We schedule regular commercial pest control treatments, maintain clean common areas, and use bait stations and rodent deterrents to keep critters away from your belongings.

Locks, Surveillance & On-Site Checks for Your Peace of Mind

Every customer receives a FREE brand-new lock (disc or cylinder) upon rental. These locks are highly secure and tamper-resistant, offering peace of mind. Many of our locations also feature:

Whether the facility is managed daily by on-site staff or monitored remotely, we’re actively keeping an eye on everything.

How You Can Be a Part of Keeping Your Storage Unit Secure and Pest-Free

We’re in this together! As a tenant, there are a few simple things you can do to help:

1. Store Clean Items Only

Before storing clothes, furniture, or appliances, make sure they are dry and clean. Food particles or damp materials can attract pests or lead to the growth of mildew.

2. Use Plastic Bins When Possible

Plastic storage totes with lids are ideal for long-term storage. They help seal out moisture and bugs better than cardboard boxes.

3. Keep Items Off the Floor

Use pallets or shelving to elevate your belongings and allow for airflow. Elevation also protects against rare instances of ground moisture.

4. Avoid Storing Perishables

Never store food, pet supplies, or any other perishable items. Food items are the most common reason pests enter storage.

5. Check Your Unit Regularly

We recommend stopping by your unit at least once a month to ensure everything looks great, especially after heavy rain or storms.

Store With Confidence

Whether you’re storing for a move, business needs, or seasonal organization, we’re here to provide a clean, safe, and reliable space for your belongings.
