Renovating Your Home in Annville, Lebanon, or Palmyra? Here's Why You Need Self Storage First

TBG Storage Team February 18, 2025 4 min read

Home renovations are exciting — new flooring, a kitchen refresh, a bathroom upgrade, or a complete room transformation can completely change how your home looks and feels. But they're also messy, disruptive, and expensive. Dust gets everywhere. Rooms become unusable. And contractors can't work efficiently when they're trying to move around your furniture every five minutes.

The single most effective thing you can do to make your renovation go smoother, faster, and with less damage to your belongings? Get them out of the way before the work starts.

Why Renovating With Furniture in the Room Is a Bad Idea

Most homeowners in Lebanon County try to push furniture to the side or cover it with drop cloths during a renovation. And while that works for minor touch-ups, it creates real problems during any significant project. Contractors have to work around obstacles, which slows them down and drives up labor costs. Dust, paint, and debris get into furniture upholstery, wood finishes, and electronics — sometimes permanently. And large furniture pieces in small rooms make it nearly impossible to work safely.

A storage unit at TBG Storage means your contractor can work in a fully clear space from day one — finishing faster and doing better work.

What Types of Renovations Benefit Most from Storage?

  • Kitchen remodels — appliances, pantry contents, table and chairs, small appliances
  • Bathroom renovations — vanities, mirrors, linens, toiletries, shelving
  • Flooring replacement — everything on the floor in every affected room
  • Painting entire floors or rooms — furniture, art, rugs, window treatments
  • Basement finishing — everything currently stored in the basement
  • Additions or structural work — contents of entire wings or floors of the home

The TBG Storage Advantage for Lebanon County Homeowners

How Long Will You Need Storage?

Most home renovation projects in Lebanon County run anywhere from a few weeks to a few months depending on scope. Our month-to-month rentals mean you only pay for what you actually use — no long-term commitments, no penalties for finishing your project early. Reserve a unit before your contractor starts, and return everything once the job is done and the dust has settled.

Quick Tips for Storing During a Renovation

  • Reserve your unit before demo day. Have it ready before the work begins.
  • Use furniture pads and blankets. Wrap wood and upholstered pieces to prevent scratches.
  • Store vertically. Mattresses and table tops can stand on their sides to save floor space.
  • Keep an aisle down the middle. You may need to access items mid-renovation.
  • Label everything so reinstallation goes smoothly once the renovation is complete.
