Read our latest 5-Star Customer Review: "So happy that I found this wonderful company to store my furniture while my wood floors were being refurbished. They came when they told me they would, the unit was totally safe from the elements. I know because there was a major storm the same night that all my belongings were stored. When I had everything moved back, all was in perfect condition, no water or moisture issues. Reliable company."

Spring Cleaning with UNITS Portable Storage of Atlanta.jpgWhat amazing weather Atlanta has seen this week! Sunshine, birds singing and the sound of our kids playing outdoors. This great weather has given me Spring Fever. With Spring comes the dreaded Spring cleaning we are all so fond of. Yuck...what a pain! This year lets do it together! UNITS Atlanta will be breaking down process for you over the next few weeks to make it more manageable.

#1 - Find the Problem Areas by Room:
Can you fix a problem if you don't know what it is? I sure can't! So let's start by looking at each room in our homes and making lists of all the problem areas. For instance:

  • Piles of mail on the table
  • Heaps of coats and sweaters on the back of a chair
  • Everyone's shoes thrown in the entry way
  • Toys...well, they are everywhere!

#2 - Figure Out Why:
Instead of cleaning these areas to come back and clean them again in a week lets take a moment to figure out why they came to this state of chaos. Why are the shoes in the entry way? After we figure out the "Why?" we can work on solving this problem for good!

#3 - Find a Solution:
Lets find that solution! Are you in need of organization tools or perhaps a portable storage container? Is it happening because you don't have the right stuff or you have too much stuff? Sometimes bad behaviors and normal responsibilities have not been neglected. It is so easy to start overlooking bad habits when you are so busy and overwhelmed.
  
#4 - Implement that Solution:
Order your UNIT and buy those organizational tools you need to put your plan into action. Get the family involved in setting up these new tools. Teach the family how to use these new items and clearly explain what is expected from each member. Bad habits are hard to break so be patience while trying to get everyone on board.

Check back next week for the start of Room by Room break down. UNITS Atlanta Customer Care Specialists can be reached at 678-838-6556 when you need that UNIT!

Thumbnail image for portable storage UNITUNITS Mobile Storage of Atlanta wants to be your moving container company. If you have never used portable storage before, trying to figure out the right questions to ask when you are comparing companies can be confusing. That's why we are bringing you 3 more great reasons why you should get a UNIT this week.

 

Water-Tight - In the portable storage industry, UNITS are considered to be the most water-tight containers available. Every UNIT offers our customers added peace-of-mind with integrated roofs on all UNITS containers. You benefit for chosing a container with an integrated roof vs. a capped roof because integrated roofs are completely attached to the frame of your container which helps keep water and moisture outside and away from your contents. Most UNITS competitors have containers with only capped roofs. The best way to explain capped roofs is to think about a shoe box with a lid. The container is like the box and the roof is kind of like the lid. With capped roofs, water and moisture have access to your contents which can lead to water damage and/or mold and mildew. UNITS are also made with a translucent, bowed roof that allows water to run off the top of your UNIT and not stagnate. UNITS Mobile Storage containers are the only containers that offer you an integrated roof of this quality.

 

Structurally Secure - UNITS Mobile Storage also provides you with the most structurally secure portable storage containers in the storage industry. UNITS are constructed with steel frames with reinforced fiber glass walls instead of wood frames with a tarp-like outer covering. Wood frames and thin, plastic coverings invite moisture and insects into your container. UNITS steel frames keep moisture and insects out of your UNIT and the reinforced fiber glass walls make your container "breathable" which greatly reduces mold or mildew from getting to your contents.

 

E-Track System - UNITS are all made with an exclusive E-Track System within for securing your belongings during transportation. Having a great tie-down system inside is another key component inside a reliable portable storage container. Our competitors only offer eye-hooks or worse, nothing at all, inside their containers. So make sure your valuables are still valuable when they get to where they are going by utilizing a UNITS container.
