Temporary Storage for Home Renovations: What You Need to Know

Josh Summerhays • December 15, 2025

Renovating your home can be an exciting project, but it often comes with challenges, especially when it comes to managing space. Whether you’re updating your kitchen, remodeling a bathroom, or adding a new room, clutter and construction materials can quickly take over your living areas. That’s where temporary storage from Alliance Self Storage comes in handy.


Alliance Self Storage makes renovation storage simple with secure, convenient units available at our Corvallis and Springfield locations, so your belongings stay out of the way and protected during the project.


Why Use Temporary Storage During Renovations?


Temporary storage units give you a secure, out-of-the-way place to keep your furniture, appliances, and personal belongings while work is underway. This protects your items from dust, damage, or accidental scratches, and frees up valuable space for contractors to work efficiently. Plus, having a dedicated storage unit helps keep your home safer by reducing trip hazards and protecting valuables from construction debris.


For a deeper look at how storage fits into a remodel timeline, this guide on temporary storage during home renovations covers what to expect and how to plan ahead.


Choosing the Right Storage Unit for Your Renovation


At Alliance Self Storage, we offer a variety of unit sizes to fit your specific needs, whether you need just a small unit for a few weeks or a larger space for an extended project. Our facility features 24/7 security and easy access so you can retrieve or store items whenever necessary. For added protection, consider our climate-controlled storage units, which help preserve sensitive materials like wood furniture, electronics, and artwork from temperature fluctuations and humidity.


Storing appliances during a remodel takes extra care, and these appliance storage best practices can help prevent damage while work is in progress.


Tips for a Smooth Renovation Storage Experience


Plan Ahead:


Estimate the amount and size of items you’ll need to store to choose the right unit.


Pack Smart:


Use sturdy boxes, cover furniture with blankets, and label everything clearly to make unpacking easier.


Communicate with Contractors:


Let your renovation team know where your belongings are stored to avoid confusion or accidental damage.


If you’re planning a home renovation and need a reliable, flexible storage solution, contact Alliance Self Storage today. Our professional team is ready to help you find the perfect temporary storage unit to keep your renovation stress-free and organized.
