long term storage

My wife and I had storage spaces for five years while we were overseas working. I made three visits when I was back in the area and had awesome assistance trying to gain access to my areas to either organize, move or sell stuff. The staff are all awesome, Tracy goes the extra mile everytime.

Good but the price always go up no matter how long you rent for.

The facility is not bad, staff is friendly and helpful but the rate is always going up and never see it going down or staying the same. I think if there is no discount for long-term renters or at least keep the rate stable for a certain period in stead of increasing every half year.

Unacceptable rent increase

Have been renting a unit for almost five years. Never missed a payment. By all measures, we are excellent customers, yet our rent increases by more than 10% a year! So much for rewarding loyal customers. Can’t wait to get out of there!

The Sentinel Storage just outside…

The Sentinel Storage just outside Stouffville is a terrific facility. The proprietors are very friendly and dedicated to offering customers the best experience possible. The whole building is very clean and tidy. The elevators are spacious and robust.
We have no reservations recommending this place to anyone in need of temporary storage of belongings.

One of the main bay doors with…

One of the main bay doors with mechanical door stopped functioning over a month ago and nothing is being done. They just keep saying ‘we put in a request’. Without this door it makes loading and unloading large loads difficult, particularly in the evenings.

They use a tricky payment scheme that bills every 28 days rather than once a month. So, basically, you end up pay for an extra 2-3 days every month which basically means in a year you end up paying an extra month.

Hi Fredum. Thank you so much for letting us know about this. Your feedback is certainly appreciated and will help us to improve our services. We would like to look further into this issue and hope to resolve it promptly. Could you kindly email us at storagevaultreviews@storagevaultcanada.com with your full name on file, unit number and the facility location that you are renting? Also to note, our 4-week billing cycle allows you to start your rental cycle at any time during the month you desire. What’s even better, we will prorate your billing for the time you don’t need an entire 4 weeks. This way, you don’t have to ever pay for the time you do not use. Simply give us a week notice before your current cycle ends, and we will adjust your billing for the upcoming cycle accordingly.

Insurance and rate increase

Insurance and rate increase: I am very disappointed with the rate increase. I am major upset with the fact that I was not given the choice for insurance for my unit. All of a sudden I am being charged for it. I believe I should be the one to decide if I want or even need it. The price of the monthly insurance is also really high especially in comparison to what I pay for my home insurance. It feels like you are charging me to help pay for the facility (building) insurance not just content

Hi Rae Pidhirney. Thank you for your feedback. Insurance is not mandatory if you are able to use your own home insurance documents. If you provide the right documentation we would be more than happy to waive our insurance. We take great care to set our prices locally in order to ensure we provide the best possible price, which may go up or down. We have a wide variety of different units and price points; please don't hesitate to give us a call at 866-553-7146 and our advisers will sure find a perfect fit for you.

Friendly staff

Friendly staff. Nice and clean. I don't like their policy on not being able to remove your property until your month is up or they keep your payment and they charge way too much.

First of all the flood in December of 2018 Where we thought we had
insurance to find out, act of god. Just get over lossing all kinds
of personal things that can't be replaced. Getting everything wet
out of there, home and dried out. Getting truck loaded to bring
things back to Unit. Now we have fire next store and we can't get
access to our Unit until gods know when. Then not two days
later I get My Month Bill which has increased. So will someone
explain this to me. I think everyone should get a half months rent
for free, for all the stuff thats gone on

Hi Judy. Thanks for your feedback. In spite of the water being an act of God, which is out of our control, we are doing everything we can to prevent it from happening in the future. We have sent your comment to the regional manager who will investigate and reach out to you asap!

Sentinel Storage 12230 Kennedy Rd. Stouffville Ont.

Location is well equipped, clean, well lit, and professionally run.
The indoor loading area is especially convenient and not available at
most other storage places.
