Doing a remodel in Gunnison on a tight budget? Here is how to keep storage costs down: rent the smallest unit that works, pick the right Gunnison location, and end the rental the month the project wraps up.
A Gunnison remodel, a pickup load at a time, with storage sized to the job.
I
f you are remodeling a Gunnison home and every dollar is spoken for, the simple answer is: rent the smallest unit that clears the work zone, keep it only for the months the crew is in the house, and choose the Gunnison location closest to your route.
Storage should be a small line in the budget, not a surprise. Discount Self Storage
has two Gunnison locations, North at 1825 N Highway 135
and Airport at 500 S Boulevard St,
with month-to-month rentals. Call or text (970) 641-6655, compare our locations, or rent online.
Key Points:
•Keyword focus: storage during a renovation in Gunnison
•Two Gunnison locations: North on Highway 135 and Airport on S Boulevard St
•Drive-up units at both, plus open-air parking at North and interior units at Airport
•Month-to-month, so you stop paying when the project ends
•Right-size by phase: store one or two rooms at a time when you can
•No guessed rates: see live pricing online or call (970) 641-6655
The biggest storage cost in most remodels is not the monthly rate. It is renting too big, renting too early and forgetting to end the rental when the last room is done. A unit sized for the whole house is overkill if the crew only works on the kitchen and one bath.
A little planning fixes all three. Measure what actually has to leave the house, book the unit a few days before demo, and set a reminder for the week the punch list is finished.
Five ways to keep remodel storage cheap
Store only the work zone
Move furniture out of the rooms being worked on and push everything else into finished rooms at home.
Phase it
Doing the kitchen now and the bath in spring? Rent for phase one, then swap or end the rental between phases.
Stack and shelve
Use uniform boxes, stack them high and stand mattresses on edge. Good packing can save you a size.
Use your truck, not a mover
Drive-up units let you back a pickup or trailer to the door, so a few friends and a Saturday can do the job.
End it on time
Month-to-month means you can move out when you are done. Give notice as soon as the last room is back together.
North or Airport: which Gunnison location fits your project?
North, 1825 N Highway 135
North has drive-up units in a wide range of sizes plus open-air parking. It is handy if you also need to park a trailer, camper or second vehicle so the driveway is free for a dumpster or material drop.
Airport, 500 S Boulevard St
Airport has drive-up units and interior units, including small sizes that suit boxes, decor and a few pieces of furniture. It is a good fit for a one room project or for things you want to keep out of the weather behind a second door.
A bathroom remodel usually means a vanity, linens and a few boxes, which a small unit can handle. A kitchen remodel adds a table, chairs, dishes and small appliances, often a medium unit. A whole floor of furniture is a large drive-up unit or two smaller ones in phases.

and ask what fits.
Protect what you store on a budget
Skip expensive supplies. Moving blankets, old sheets over furniture, pallets or scrap lumber under boxes and a few labeled bins do most of the work. Avoid sealing upholstery in plastic, and keep anything that can freeze, such as paint or cleaning supplies, out of the unit in winter.
All locations have multiple security cameras. Questions about rentals or access are covered in the storage FAQ.
