UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Atlanta Sponsors Joining Hearts 24

2011-08-02T18:48:20Z

UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Atlanta was a proud sponsor of Joining Hearts 24, "Splash," held on Saturday, July 24, 2011 at Piedmont Park.

Joining Hearts, a 501C3, is a non-profit organization run completely by its volunteers. These volunteers devote themselves to raising funds that offers housing support to Atlanta residents living with HIV and AIDS as well as the overall awareness and support services related with the illness.

UNITS of Atlanta owner, John Steeves, volunteered for the event as well as personally delivered the portable storage UNIT to Piedmont Park. The UNIT was used by Joining Hearts to transport and store the supplies necessary to host the event.

"Joining Hearts supports two fantastic organizations, which give so much to the people of Atlanta. I'm proud that my company is able to positively impact and make an ongoing difference,"said Steeves. "It's also simply amazing what the volunteers are able to accomplish- not only for the main event each July, but throughout the year."

All profits collected at Joining Hearts events in Atlanta are donated to AID Atlanta and Jerusalem House. UNITS Atlanta will continue to be actively involved with this worthy organization and encourage others to join us in giving back to our communities.

UNITS Atlanta - Make Spring Cleaning a Breeze

2011-02-18T21:25:16Z

What amazing weather Atlanta has seen this week! Sunshine, birds singing and the sound of our kids playing outdoors. This great weather has given me Spring Fever. With Spring comes the dreaded Spring cleaning we are all so fond of. Yuck...what a pain! This year lets do it together! UNITS Atlanta will be breaking down process for you over the next few weeks to make it more manageable.

#1 - Find the Problem Areas by Room:
Can you fix a problem if you don't know what it is? I sure can't! So let's start by looking at each room in our homes and making lists of all the problem areas. For instance:

Piles of mail on the table
Heaps of coats and sweaters on the back of a chair
Everyone's shoes thrown in the entry way
Toys...well, they are everywhere!

#2 - Figure Out Why:
Instead of cleaning these areas to come back and clean them again in a week lets take a moment to figure out why they came to this state of chaos. Why are the shoes in the entry way? After we figure out the "Why?" we can work on solving this problem for good!

#3 - Find a Solution:
Lets find that solution! Are you in need of organization tools or perhaps a portable storage container? Is it happening because you don't have the right stuff or you have too much stuff? Sometimes bad behaviors and normal responsibilities have not been neglected. It is so easy to start overlooking bad habits when you are so busy and overwhelmed.

#4 - Implement that Solution:
Order your UNIT and buy those organizational tools you need to put your plan into action. Get the family involved in setting up these new tools. Teach the family how to use these new items and clearly explain what is expected from each member. Bad habits are hard to break so be patience while trying to get everyone on board.

Check back next week for the start of Room by Room break down. UNITS Atlanta Customer Care Specialists can be reached at 678-838-6556 when you need that UNIT!

Water-Tight, Structurally Secure, E-Track System - UNITS Storage

2011-02-08T16:32:43Z

UNITS Mobile Storage of Atlanta wants to be your moving container company. If you have never used portable storage before, trying to figure out the right questions to ask when you are comparing companies can be confusing. That's why we are bringing you 3 more great reasons why you should get a UNIT this week.

Water-Tight - In the portable storage industry, UNITS are considered to be the most water-tight containers available. Every UNIT offers our customers added peace-of-mind with integrated roofs on all UNITS containers. You benefit for chosing a container with an integrated roof vs. a capped roof because integrated roofs are completely attached to the frame of your container which helps keep water and moisture outside and away from your contents. Most UNITS competitors have containers with only capped roofs. The best way to explain capped roofs is to think about a shoe box with a lid. The container is like the box and the roof is kind of like the lid. With capped roofs, water and moisture have access to your contents which can lead to water damage and/or mold and mildew. UNITS are also made with a translucent, bowed roof that allows water to run off the top of your UNIT and not stagnate. UNITS Mobile Storage containers are the only containers that offer you an integrated roof of this quality.

Structurally Secure - UNITS Mobile Storage also provides you with the most structurally secure portable storage containers in the storage industry. UNITS are constructed with steel frames with reinforced fiber glass walls instead of wood frames with a tarp-like outer covering. Wood frames and thin, plastic coverings invite moisture and insects into your container. UNITS steel frames keep moisture and insects out of your UNIT and the reinforced fiber glass walls make your container "breathable" which greatly reduces mold or mildew from getting to your contents.

E-Track System - UNITS are all made with an exclusive E-Track System within for securing your belongings during transportation. Having a great tie-down system inside is another key component inside a reliable portable storage container. Our competitors only offer eye-hooks or worse, nothing at all, inside their containers. So make sure your valuables are still valuable when they get to where they are going by utilizing a UNITS container.

UNITS Customer Care Team can be reached at 678-838-6556 or you may visit us online at UNITS Atlanta. Visit us again next week for more great reasons to "Get a UNIT!"

Locally Made, Locally Owned & Operated - UNITS Atlanta

2011-01-28T17:05:15Z

Here are three great reasons why UNITS Mobile Storage of Atlanta storage UNITS are your best choice when it comes to portable storage:

Locally Made - UNITS are manufactured here in Georgia. So every UNIT that is rented here in Georgia keeps money and jobs here to help our economy recover.

Local Owners Who Care - UNITS Atlanta's owners are residents of our great state of Georgia where they are involved in the community. Good, old-fashioned customer service is very important to them and they offer it to all our customers.

Operated Locally - UNITS Atlanta is operated locally here in Georgia and assures you that you will never speak to a call center in another state or country. The business is operated Monday-Friday from 8am-5pm. Since our team knows it is not always convenient to do business during normal business hours there is always a Local Customer Care Team Member checking messages and provide quotes periodically after hours to ensure that you receive help when you need it and not when it is convenient for someone else.

We would love to tell you more about UNITS so please call 678-838-6556 or visit UNITS Atlanta today. Come back next week for more great reasons on Why UNITS Atlanta?!
