June 07, 2022 // Franchising.com // CHARLESTON, S.C. - UNITS Moving and Portable Storage reports the Great Renovation is in effect across the country.
Tight housing markets are giving way to sky-rocketing remodeling projects. Residential renovations are expected to exceed $380 billion by the middle of next year - up nearly 10% from 2021.
Many who originally wanted to find a new home have decided to stay put and renovate. Here’s why:
There are a few challenges for today’s renovation projects; thanks to labor shortages and supply chain disruptions, you are likely to experience long lead times and delays.
Another problem is storage. During renovations, especially those that last longer than anticipated, homeowners need affordable, convenient storage solutions. Personal items and furnishings need to be packed up to provide ample space for the work to be done, and to avoid construction dust and potential damage to belongings.
UNITS Moving and Portable Storage has seen an increase in homeowners who are renovating and looking for portable storage containers to keep right on their property, where it can stay for weeks or months depending on the length of the renovation project.
“Our customers appreciate the convenience of having their belongings safely and securely packed away right on site, in their driveway or backyard,” said Wade Malloch, UNITS Operations Manager. “This way, if the renovation goes a bit longer than anticipated, they have easy access to get to their things when they need them. Plus, when the renovation is complete, homeowners have the flexibility to move their belongings in at their pace, on their timeline.”
UNITS has a number of important packing tips for their customers to maximize space and minimize damage or breakage.
