  • Do you offer climate controlled units?
    Yes, we offer them at Commerce Storage & Ski Slide Storage. Some of these units are interior access only through a human sized door and hallway - while others are direct access. Climate controlled units are typically used to protect belongings from damage caused by heat or very cold temperatures. Items stored in climate-controlled units are usually photographs, antiques, clothing, leather furniture, vehicles, and instruments. Or, if that is just what you prefer. Climate controlled means that the unit is a more controlled environment in both temperature and humidity. Non-climate controlled units are like storing items in an un-heated garage, the temperature and humidity will fluctuate with the outside weather.
  • When is payment due?
    All payments are due on the 1st of every month, regardless of the date commencing. We prorate first months rent upon sign-up but do not prorate the last month.
