Dickinson, ND homeowners invest seriously in their properties — and a storage unit during the renovation process is the simplest and most effective way to protect that investment from the dust, debris, and accidental damage that construction work always brings with it.
Dickinson homeowners take their properties seriously — homes here are built to last and the renovations people invest in reflect that commitment to quality. Kitchen remodels, bathroom updates, basement finishing projects, and whole-home renovations are all common investments in Dickinson's housing stock. But every renovation creates the same challenge — where do all the belongings go during construction? Without a proper plan furniture gets scratched and damaged by construction traffic, electronics get infiltrated by fine drywall dust, and the renovation crew spends time working around obstacles instead of working on the project. A storage unit at Storage Unit of Dickinson removes this problem entirely by clearing the space before work begins.
Most major home renovations in Dickinson happen during spring and summer when North Dakota's weather allows for construction work that requires open windows and doors. These are also the seasons when temperature and humidity changes create specific storage considerations for belongings moved out of the home during renovation. Spring brings rapid humidity increases after dry winters — climate-controlled storage protects furniture, electronics, and wood items from the moisture that open construction environments expose them to. Summer heat can affect electronics and some furniture materials stored in non-climate-controlled environments. A climate-controlled unit at Storage Unit of Dickinson addresses both concerns and keeps stored belongings in perfect condition through the entire renovation period — call (701) 690-5512 to find the right unit.
The most effective renovation storage approach clears as much of the home as possible before work begins rather than trying to protect items in place. For kitchen renovations move all small appliances, dishes, glassware, pantry items, and countertop items before demo begins — kitchen renovations create extensive dust that travels through the entire home. For bathroom renovations remove all personal items, towels, rugs, and any storage furniture. For living rooms and dining areas move all furniture, rugs, electronics, artwork, and decorative items — large furniture pieces are particularly vulnerable to traffic damage when materials move through the home. For bedroom and closet renovations empty all closets and move bed frames, mattresses, dressers, and personal items. For basement finishing projects move all stored items from the basement before framing, electrical, and insulation work begins.
A thoughtfully organized storage unit makes both the move-out and the move-back significantly easier. Label every single box with its room destination before it enters the unit — this is the single most impactful organizational step you can take. Group all furniture and boxes from the same room together in the same section of the unit. Store items from the rooms that will finish first nearest the door so they can be retrieved and moved back in as soon as those rooms are ready. Wrap all upholstered furniture in moving blankets to protect them through the storage period. Keep a master inventory list of everything in the unit and verify it is complete before renovation begins so nothing is missing when the project ends.
