Use these simple steps to get a rough idea of the storage space you’ll need before requesting a quote.
1. List Your Furniture

2. Count Your Boxes
Estimate how many moving boxes you’ll have, including clothing, kitchenware, books, and personal belongings.
3. Estimate Your Space
As a general guide:
- 20–50 sq ft → Contents of one bedroom
- 30–50 sq ft → A typical living room
