So, you’ve picked the perfect storage unit—now what? Move-in day at Hometown Storage is designed to be smooth, stress-free, and straightforward. Whether you're decluttering your home, storing seasonal gear, or preparing for a move, our facility in Oakwood, GA is ready to help you get started with confidence. Here’s what you can expect on day one.

1. Easy Access to Your Unit

Convenience is key. When you arrive at Hometown Storage, you’ll notice how simple it is to get in and out. Our facility features:

• Keypad gate access so only tenants can enter

• Wide driveways for easy maneuvering, even with larger vehicles or trailers

• Drive-up storage units that let you pull your vehicle right up to your door

Forget long hallways and heavy carts—unloading your belongings is as easy as parking and opening your tailgate.

2. A Lock Provided—No Extra Trip Needed

No need to run to the store for a lock. We provide a free disc lock with every new rental. Not only does this save you time and money, but it also ensures you're using the most secure type of lock available. Disc locks are resistant to bolt cutters and tampering, offering a strong layer of protection for your items.

3. On-Site Support When You Need It

Our on-site manager is available during business hours to help answer any questions, provide directions to your unit, and make sure everything is in order. And unlike big national chains, you’ll get real, personal service—someone who knows the facility and lives right here in the Oakwood community.

4. A Clean, Ready-to-Go Space

Before your move-in, we make sure your unit is clean, swept, and ready for use. We recommend bringing:

• Boxes or totes labeled for easy stacking

• A few blankets or padding for delicate items

• A small step stool if you plan to stack high

• A list or quick photo inventory of what you're storing

Keeping things organized from the start makes future visits to your storage unit a breeze.

5. Clear Communication and No Surprises

We believe in transparency. You’ll know upfront what your monthly rent is, how to access your unit, and how to make payments online. No hidden fees, no confusing contracts—just honest, dependable storage service.
