4 Advantages of Mobile Storage Containers for Newly Constructed Homes

The construction of a new home brings a lot of excitement and anticipation. As you prepare to move into the newly constructed home, you need to decide the best way to bring items from one home to the next.

One method you can use is a mobile storage unit. A mobile storage unit comes in multiple sizes and gets dropped off where you need it. Once filled, a moving company picks up the storage unit and drops it off at your new home for easy unloading. As opposed to traditional moving trucks, storage containers come with many advantages for newly constructed homes.

Check out some of these benefits and ways to maximize the use of a mobile storage container.

1. Longer Rental Options

A new home includes empty rooms and a lot of space to make the home truly your own. The last thing you want to do is load box after box into the home and create a cluttered mess. A mobile storage unit will help you reduce the clutter and take your time with the move. A mobile unit comes with long-term rental options so you can keep the unit on your property.

Take your time to move in items room by room and reduce the amount of clutter you have as you enjoy the new home. You will not feel rushed as you choose what items to decorate with and which items you no longer need. For safety and protection, a mobile unit includes a padlock so you can lock up the unit every night.

2. Less Transportation

As your new home goes through the final stages of building, you may visit the home often and start moving stuff in. With a mobile storage unit, you do not need to worry about the constant hassle of driving back and forth with a moving truck. A mobile storage unit gets picked up from your old location and dropped off at the new one.

You do not need to be there for the transfer and do not need to worry about meeting the moving company for the drop-off. The elimination of extra trips can make a big difference on your travels to the new house, especially if the house is located far away from the old one.

You also do not need to worry about the logistics of multiple vehicles. For example, with a moving truck, you would have to drive a moving truck to a location, empty out the truck, drive the truck back, and then bring your regular vehicle to the house. Or you would have to arrange for help to drive multiple vehicles to one location.

With a mobile container, you can drive your regular vehicle and enjoy access to the items you need to move in.

3. Storage Facilities

New home construction can come with a lot of pitfalls and delays. Home contractors could fall behind, materials could be on back order, and you could run into other issues along the way. In some cases, you may have to be out of your old residence before you can move into the new home.

Mobile storage units often come with the option to use storage facilities while you wait for the completion of your home. Once you have the unit packed, a moving company can pick up the unit and bring it to their secure storage facility until the new home is ready. The storage facility is private so only company employees have access to the property.

The extra security measure ensures your items remain safe and protected. You will not feel the same time crunch to have your home completed and the unit will get delivered on your schedule.

4. Moisture Resistant Climate Protection

As you prepare to move into a new home, you may have slight delays with the climate control and electricity in the location. Instead of bringing boxes and items into a home with no heat or air conditioning, you could leave the items inside the storage unit. The unit provides you with moisture protection from humidity, heat, or poor weather like rain.

If you have poor weather, you do not want to move items through the wetness and get your new home all wet and dirty. Simply wait out the storms and trust that the climate protection from the storage units will keep your items dry. With no rush to move the items out of the unit, you can avoid any water damage, stains, or mud in the new home.
