Finding the perfect self storage solution isn't always as simple as it seems. Whether you're downsizing, decluttering, or looking to free up office space, choosing the right storage unit can make all the difference. At Storage Quarters, we've spent more than 35 years helping residents and businesses throughout the New York City metro area—including Garden City, Long Island, and beyond—secure and manage their most important belongings. With so many options available, we're here to guide you through the process of selecting the best fit for your needs.
Understand Your Storage Needs First
The first step in choosing the right storage unit is evaluating what you need to store. Are you packing up seasonal home decor, furniture, or excess business inventory? Or are you storing confidential documents, such as medical records or legal files? The type and volume of items you're storing will directly influence the size and type of unit you require.
We offer storage units that range from compact 5’×5’ units—ideal for boxes, small furniture, or office supplies—to spacious 10’×25’ units capable of storing the contents of an entire house. All of our units are climate-controlled and monitored 24/7, providing peace of mind for sensitive items like electronics, antiques, or paper records.
Choose a Facility with Security and Accessibility
Security is a top concern when selecting a storage unit. Our facility in Garden City is equipped with 24-hour video surveillance, keypad entry, electronic access gates, fire detection systems, and is fully fenced and lighted. We also offer drive-up ramps for easy loading and unloading, making the move-in process as stress-free as possible.
But security isn't just about locks and cameras—it’s also about trust. As a family-owned business with deep roots in the local community, we prioritize personalized service and transparent pricing.
Consider Special Features Like On Demand Storage
If flexibility is a priority, our on demand storage service, Box & Co, might be the ideal solution. With this option, we pick up your items directly from your home or office, store them securely at our facility, and return them to you when needed. This is particularly helpful for people who want to avoid the hassle of transporting large or numerous items on their own.
Whether you're storing business records, household items, or seasonal gear, storage on demand eliminates the need for repeated trips to the facility. It’s convenient, affordable, and designed for busy lifestyles.
Don’t Overlook Document and Paper Storage Needs
While most people associate self storage with furniture and boxes, we also specialize in handling sensitive documents for commercial and professional clients. As one of the leading medical record storage companies in the area, we provide HIPAA-compliant services including long-term custodial storage, document digitization, and next-day file delivery.
Need to digitize paper documents for a more efficient, paperless workflow? We’ve got you covered. Our document services include secure scanning, barcoding, and archiving—ideal for law offices, clinics, accountants, and more. We also offer paper document scanning services for clients looking to streamline operations without compromising compliance or accessibility.
Secure and Compliant Document Shredding
Proper disposal of confidential files is just as important as safe storage. That’s why we offer secure document destruction through both mobile document shredding and on site shredding services. Whether you're a business dealing with old client files or a household looking to get rid of personal paperwork, our document shredding in Garden City, NY, ensures your information is completely and irreversibly destroyed.
We even provide paper shredding rental services for businesses needing temporary but high-volume shredding support. Our shredding trucks can come directly to your location or handle destruction securely at our warehouse, with certification of disposal for your records.
Ask the Right Questions Before Renting
Before you make a final decision on a storage unit, ask these key questions:
Is the facility climate-controlled and pest-free?
Are there different unit sizes available?
Is access restricted and monitored 24/7?
What kind of fire detection or alarm systems are in place?
Can I upgrade to on demand storage or document services later?
These considerations can help you avoid hidden fees, overpaying for space, or choosing a facility that lacks the features you really need.
