Uncle Bob’s Self Storage

I reserved a unit online over the holiday weekend and it was super easy and quick to do. I showed up when the store opened and was helped by Veronica. She was efficient, friendly and beyond helpful. Answered all of our questions and got is exactly what we needed as quickly as possible. I would recommend them a hundred times over.

I didn’t rent here because they are so month-​to-​month they won’t let you hold a storage unit longer than 2 weeks. Which means… if it is February and I need to rent a place by March, nope, they can’t hold a place a month in advance, because why?
You got me. You have to wait two weeks before you want to move. That wouldn’t be a problem if I didn’t have to schedule movers and the whole bit to move into the place… it makes it hard to get a moving quote when you don’t know how far you are moving stuff.
Also, they make you call a 1 – 888 number to reserve, not the local joint. Ridiculous.

I needed a place to keep my stuff in storage that was safe, secured, and close to my house. I did some price shopping and Uncle Bob’s did have the best rates AND they were only 2 miles from my house. They also had several sign up incentives that made it worthwhile:
You can name your price on first month’s rent. I asked if I could give them any arbitrary number and they said «within reason» so I offered them $ 30 and they accepted. Not bad considering there’s another $ 15 lock fee on top of that when you join.
They also offer referral incentives. If you refer a friend they will deduct from your rent the amount per square foot of the unit they lease from your next month’s rent so I got another month of a reasonably low payment. They will also give your friend a discount too. Yay!
What they *didn’t* tell me was that they will raise your rent each year. After 12 months they raised my rent five bucks. Okay, so it’s only five bucks and not too unreasonable but still…
You can make your payments online with a credit card which is convenient. They do have 24-​hour access which is gated and there are dolly carts in each building to help you move your stuff. I have been renting from Uncle Bob’s for over a year and have had no problems. My stuff has been kept safe and the employees at this location are friendly.
Your stuff will be in good hands with good old Uncle Bob. As Dave Hester from Storage Wars would say, «YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP!!!»

Clean and Safe. So that’s kind of a big deal…
Lower prices than others, especially when you book online. And there are referral bonuses, too. So find a friend. You both get $$ back.
The employees have been friendly and helpful.
The units are as advertised, and the hallways are clean and clear. (I’ve even seen them cleaning them!)
The security gate is comforting, too.
