Every household ends up with more than the house can hold at some point, whether that is during a remodel, a move, or just the slow buildup of things that only come out a few times a year. b.Mac's Self Storage offers residential storage built for exactly that, with flexible sizing, month to month terms, and no deposit required.
At a Glance
Rentals run month to month with no deposit, so a unit can be kept for exactly as long as a remodel, a move, or a season actually calls for.
Climate controlled units protect furniture, electronics, and keepsakes from Iowa's seasonal extremes, while standard drive up units offer the easiest access at a lower rate for tools and seasonal gear.
Why This Location Works for North Des Moines Households
b.Mac's is located at 5652 NW 2nd Street off Highway 415, less than a mile north of Interstate 80 and 35, which makes it a short trip for homeowners in north Des Moines and neighbors coming from Ankeny, Johnston, Polk City, and Urbandale. Every building is ground level with drive up access, so unloading a car full of boxes or a trailer of furniture is a matter of pulling up to the door rather than hauling everything through hallways and elevators.
What Actually Sends Most Households Into Storage
Most household storage comes down to a handful of situations, and b.Mac's fits all of them. Families use units to hold furniture during a remodel, a move, or a change in the household. Homeowners rotate seasonal items through a small unit, patio furniture and yard equipment in the winter, holiday decor and totes the rest of the year, so the garage stays usable instead of slowly filling up. People downsizing or settling an estate use a unit as a staging space while they sort through what to keep, sell, or pass on without rushing the decision under pressure. Plenty of renters and homeowners simply need breathing room: a place for the extra couch, the boxes in the spare room, or the gear that only comes out a few weekends a year.
How to Decide Between Climate Control and Drive Up
Iowa weather is hard on stored belongings. Summer heat and humidity can warp wood and grow mildew, and winter cold is rough on electronics and certain materials. For furniture, family keepsakes, electronics, documents, and anything with sentimental or resale value, climate controlled units keep a steady temperature year round so belongings come out the way they went in. For tools, seasonal equipment, and general overflow that does not need a controlled temperature, drive up units give the easiest possible access at a lower rate. Anyone unsure which size covers what they are storing can check the size guide, which breaks down what fits from a single small unit up to a garage sized one.
What Keeps a Household Unit Simple to Manage
b.Mac's is secured with gated keypad entry, recorded video surveillance, bright LED lighting, and disc locks, and free dollies and flatbed carts are available on site to make move in easier. Rentals are month to month with no deposit, and contactless rental through the kiosk plus online bill pay means the whole thing can be set up and managed without ever coordinating around office hours. A unit can stay as long as the project or the season calls for, and close out the moment it is no longer needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size unit do I need to store a room of furniture?
A 10x10 typically holds the contents of a couple of rooms, and a 10x15 or 10x20 covers a larger home. The size guide has more detail for anything in between.
Should I get climate controlled or drive up for household items?
Climate control fits furniture, electronics, and keepsakes best. Drive up works well for tools and seasonal gear that can tolerate normal temperature changes without any issue.
Do you provide carts or dollies?
Yes, free dollies and flatbed carts are available on site for move in and ongoing access.
Is there a long term contract?
No. Rentals are month to month with no deposit, so a unit is kept only as long as it is actually needed.
