What Makes Pleasantville Self Storage Different?

We Restrict Access To Our Storage Units

Unlike other storage companies, access to your mini storage room is restricted to you. Regardless of whether you purchase a lock from Pleasantville Self Storage or provide one of your own locks, you’re the only one with the combination or key.

There are a few reasons to consider purchasing one of our locks:

  • Our locks are proven and tested.
  • Easy to use locks that won’t get stuck.
  • Our locks may help you qualify for our tenant protection plan (ask us for details).

Energy Conservation Initiatives

Wherever possible, we’ve installed energy efficient lighting throughout our facilities. We’ve added motion-sensor lighting to turn hallway lighting on only when needed. High-density illumination throughout the hallways provides an energy efficient way to light our rooms and hallways. This helps us keep our costs down and doing so enables us to keep our unit pricing competitive.

 

Steel Construction To Keep Your Belongings Safe And Secure

Our mini-storage rooms are constructed to keep your belongings safe and secure. The units are constructed with steel and concrete. They were designed to remain clean and maintenance-free. Our “easy glide” roll-up doors provide easy, one-person access. Once inside, you’ll see the simple design that joins the steel walls to the concrete flooring, creating the near perfect environment to keep your items safe over an extended period of time.

 

Family Owned And Operated Since 1997

Our first self storage facility opened in Bedford Hills back in 1997. We remained a family owned and operated business ever since. Today, we’ve grown to a network of more than a dozen convenient storage locations throughout Westchester County.

Our storage expertise was gained over years of helping tenants declutter their homes and offices. For more than two decades, our team has helped Westchester business owners, homeowners and renters move into a self-storage unit with far less stress and aggravation. There’s rarely a situation or circumstance we haven’t encountered many times before.

Tips For Getting Started

Schedule An Appointment In Advance:

If you would like to speak to a self storage advisor without having to wait our advice is to schedule an appointment in advance. You can do so by giving us a call.

Take An Inventory Of Your Belongings 

Having an inventory of your items before storing them is a very important part of selecting the most appropriate unit. Preparing a simple list and bringing it with you helps speed the process significantly, saving you time and money. Our specialists can work through your list with you to make suggestions and provide you with unit availability options.  

Consider Your Planned Storage Term 

One of the questions we have for new tenants is how long you’ll need the unit for. Certain items don’t store well in standard units over extended periods of time. We can make recommendations based upon what you’re storing and how long you’ll need to store it. Most people don’ think about the effect seasonal temperatures can have upon items you place in storage. Is your planning flexible?  We tend to have a number units available at any given time, but different times of year effect unit availability. The more flexible you are, the more options you’ll have. 

Accessing Your Storage Room

Some things to consider when selecting a unit include:

  • How frequently do you need to access it?
  • What times of day do you plan to access it?
  • Would a drive up exterior unit work best?
  • Could you save some money with unit on the 2nd floor? 

Security Precautions

Lighting: We installed energy efficient lighting inside and outside the facility. Making it as easy as possible to find your way around our facility, both inside and out. Any broken bulbs and switches are replaced immediately. We’ve installed motion detectors which illuminate corridors in a way that is energy efficient.

Closed Circuit Surveillance Cameras (24/7 Monitoring): CCTV cameras have been installed throughout our facility. The system provides 24/7 monitoring of the outside, inside, office and entry gate. 

Exterior Fencing: The exterior is fenced to deter unwanted visitors and provide peace of mind.
