A homeowner preparing to sell, a family mid renovation, and someone staging a house for showings all have the same immediate need, somewhere to put furniture temporarily, but the reasoning behind each one is different. A seller wants a house to show empty or staged rather than cluttered with everyday furniture. A family remodeling a kitchen or living area needs pieces protected from dust and construction traffic, not just moved out of the way. All-Rite Storage, located on Terry Road in Cheyenne, rents drive up units sized for exactly this kind of temporary, specific furniture storage.

At a Glance

  • All-Rite Storage offers unit sizes from 5x10 up to 10x20 for furniture storage in Cheyenne.
  • Month to month terms match the actual, often unpredictable timeline of a renovation or a home sale, rather than locking into a fixed term.
  • Drive up access lets movers or homeowners load large furniture pieces directly without navigating stairs or hallways.
  • Units are outdoor and not climate controlled, which matters for certain furniture types more than others, covered below.
  • Security fencing and property lighting protect furniture left in storage for weeks or months during a sale or remodel.

Home Staging: Storing What Should Not Be in the Photos

Real estate agents and staging companies in Cheyenne generally recommend clearing a home of everyday, personal furniture before listing photos and showings, replacing it with either neutral staged pieces or simply less furniture overall so rooms photograph larger and feel less cluttered. That means the furniture a family actually uses every day needs somewhere to go for the length of the listing, which can run anywhere from a few weeks to several months depending on the market.

What Actually Needs to Come Out

The furniture that most affects how a home shows is rarely everything in the house. Oversized pieces that make rooms look small, mismatched or worn furniture that photographs poorly, and anything that makes a room read as a specific family's space rather than a neutral one are the priority. A single storage unit sized for a bedroom set, a couch, and several boxes of decor is usually enough for a typical staging clear out, rather than needing to store an entire household's furniture.

Renovation and Remodel Storage: Protecting Pieces From Dust and Damage, Not Just Clearing Space

A kitchen or bathroom remodel, a flooring replacement, or a whole room renovation creates a specific kind of risk to furniture that simple decluttering does not. Dust from drywall and sanding work settles into fabric upholstery and wood finishes. Contractors and equipment moving through a home during active construction create a real risk of scuffs, dents, and accidental damage to anything left in adjacent rooms. Moving furniture into storage for the length of a renovation protects it from both problems at once, rather than just covering pieces in place and hoping for the best.

Which Pieces Are Worth Moving Versus Covering in Place

Not every piece of furniture in a home needs to leave during a renovation. Furniture in rooms directly adjacent to the work, or anything with fabric upholstery, fine wood finishes, or intricate detail work, benefits most from leaving the house entirely rather than being covered with plastic sheeting in place, since covering reduces dust exposure but does not eliminate the risk of impact damage from equipment and foot traffic. Simpler, more durable pieces farther from the actual work area often do fine covered in place.

What Belongs in a Drive Up Unit and What Deserves Extra Thought

Because All-Rite Storage's units are outdoor, drive up spaces rather than a climate controlled interior, some furniture types hold up better than others over an extended storage period.

Furniture That Holds Up Well

Solid wood furniture, upholstered pieces wrapped or covered before storage, metal framed furniture, and most standard household furniture handles a Cheyenne drive up unit reasonably well for the length of a typical staging period or renovation, especially when wrapped in furniture blankets or plastic to reduce dust exposure.

Furniture That Needs More Care

Furniture with veneer, inlay, or glued joints can be more sensitive to Wyoming's wide temperature swings between summer heat and winter cold than solid wood pieces are, since materials expand and contract at different rates and repeated swings over months can stress glued joints. Leather furniture in particular benefits from a breathable cover rather than tightly wrapped plastic, since trapped moisture can encourage mildew even in Wyoming's generally dry climate. Anything with real sentimental or high replacement value, an heirloom piece or a genuine antique, is worth wrapping carefully regardless of material and, for pieces where the owner is especially concerned about temperature extremes over a long storage period, may be better suited to a climate controlled option if the storage period will run through a full winter and summer.

Why Month to Month Terms Fit Staging and Renovation Timelines

Neither a home sale nor a renovation runs on a fixed, predictable schedule. A listing can sell in two weeks or sit for four months depending on the market. A kitchen remodel quoted at six weeks can run longer once a contractor opens a wall and finds something unexpected. All-Rite Storage's month to month rentals are built around that unpredictability, letting a homeowner keep furniture in storage for exactly as long as the sale or renovation actually takes rather than guessing at a lease term in advance and either paying for unused time or scrambling to extend it.
