"The staff is so friendly. I list my keys to my lock in less than a week. The manager Gary was great at replacing it and securing my belongings for me. I'd recommend Life Storage šÆ"
"Mr. Gary Coglitati, general manager at the Raleigh, NC off Atlantic Avenue was fantastic. He immediately helped by showing me the storage I was interested in. Afterwards, he explained the paperwork and immediately I received my storage in little as 10 minutes. Extremely professional and courteous. I highly recommend others to request a storage at this location!"
"I am someone without much experience in the storage unit world. Gary was very patient and understanding in answering every question I had about different options and was able to get me set up with the perfect unit for all of my stuff. It is so nice to have someone like Gary willing to help you for all the right reasons!"
"Gary truly is the man with the plan. I was really worried about moving as I had never done it before, but Gary was extremely patient in answering my questions and explaining the whole process. I feel much more secure knowing that my personal items are being stored safely with Gary and Life Storage"

I highly recommend life storage on Atlantic Avenue to anyone looking for a safe place with staff that respects and values the customer!ā¤ļø"
"Their website states that they have a free truck for rental. They even show pictures of their ātruckā on their website. However, what they DONāT tell you is that they DO NOT have a truck, but a van! If you want to use their van, you have to drive up to their wake forest location - about ten miles away.! Plus you get charged .89cents a mile. Transparency is NOT happening with this storage facility! Beware!!!!"
"I have had multiple storage units in Raleigh for the last 6 years. This was the first time I used Life Storage. I only needed a unit for 3 months while I found a place to live in another state. 2.5 months in I received a message from a worker nonchalantly stating he noticed that one of the 2 locks on my unit was off. I called back within an hour and was told multiple times that it was my fault, I must have not locked the lock correctly the last time I was there, which was the day I moved in 2 .5 months prior. I was obviously very anxious but was told it didn't look like anyone went thru my stuff. I had to beg the worker to put a lock on it as I was out of state and couldn't get back to town for another week. I told them during this call there was no way I didn't lock it 2.5 months prior, that someone must have broken the lock off and was nervous about the security and was told that wasn't possible, it was my fault and it happened all the time. The next week I went to the unit to change out a new lock for the facility's lock, another worker who never worked didn't know what I was talking about. If note, I had gone the night before but was anxious being a single female going in the unit as there were people hanging out in the back of the complex, so I came back the next day. I noticed at that time someone in fact did go thru my stuff, there was contents thrown all over the unit. I couldn't see if anything was missing because I had a 1000ft house in the unit. I moved 3 weeks later, which was one week ago. I left several messages requesting calls back because I unpacked all my things and confirmed 2 boxes of jewelry were missing. Still waiting for a call back. If I had read a review like this I wouldn't have rented a space there."
"Carol , the store manager is awesome person. She make the rent so easy to me.
The next day of my lease I went to upload something and I found out I forgot my keys.
She helped me to cut the lock and save me bourse drink back and forth.
She amazing I recommend that place."
"Carol has taken such good care of me from the beginning of my move in! She is awesome! I had a hiccup in moving in but came back just because she takes good care of me!"

"Our nonprofit, Friends of Wake County Animal Center, saw the need to provide pet food to families impacted by COVID-19. With no physical building we needed a place to store donated pet food. We reached out to several storage facilities. Life Storage at 5000 Atlantic Ave in Raleigh NC stepped up big time and offered us a free unit. The owner and office staff are always cordial and carefully follow proper COVID recommendations. Their facility is spotless and secure. Without a location to store donated food we could not have served the hundreds of local families who needed our help. As we serve our community we need community partners. Life Storage is a trusted partner who offered help immediately when we needed it."

Thank you Carol for being who you are...the best!!!

"Amid all this craziness going on Carol at Life Storage was there to make me feel better. The space is well kept, clean, and secure.
I passed about 10 storage places on the way there but the reviews about Carol made me go directly to this one. I felt like I was meeting a local celebrity with all her great reviews.
I was lucky to get one of the last 10x10 climate controlled spaces.
Carol was kind and professional and you could tell she takes her business very seriously.
Price was great compared to other places!"

"This is a great place to store those extra things that cant be held at home. We have had 4 different units here over the years.

They dont just say they treat you like family, they do it!"
"Nice, secure units and affordable! Gary was very helpful and knowledgeable. A quick ten minutes in and out to look at the unit, fill out paperwork, and pay for my first pro-rated month! Highly recommended, 5 Stars!"
"This was the fastest and easiest storage rental I have ever done. I did the online Rapid Rental, which was super easy. I received my access code and my unit number in my email. When I arrived to my unit I had a little welcome bag with my brand new lock and key inside the unit. But the main reason I chose this place, besides the convenient location, was the rental truck! I spoke to Gary from LifeStorage on the phone around noon the day I needed the truck and explained that I would only need it for a very short time. Despite someone else already reserving the truck for 3 pm, he worked with me and allowed me to use the truck. Everything worked out perfectly and I had the truck back to LifeStorage with time to spare! Great experience! Highly recommend!"
"Had a wonderful experience renting a storage unit from this location. Gary was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. All of my questions were answered and I was able to get the exact climate controlled unit to fit my needs! I will definitely return to Life Storage for future storage needs. They treat you like family."
"This was such an easy place to move my stuff into. Carol was lovely to speak with on the phone and Gary was very kind and helpful. Rates are reasonable and the facility is clean. Definitely feel confident storing my stuff here."
"Very easy to get everything signed for us to get into our unit. Carol was very helpful and talked is through the truck rental and how to securely lock our unit and everything. The unit itself was clean and secure. Definitely recommend"
"Fantastic experience at Life Storage once again! 3rd time I have used them for family related storage in the past year! Kudos to the local management team in this Raleigh location! Highly recommend!"
"Carol and Terry were great! Very good customer service. Ā I locked my car keys and lock key inside my storage unit by mistake. They were able to quickly prove my identity and cut the lock open for me. Ā The units are well kept and clean. Ā I would recommend this storage facility to anyone needing storage.
Linda R."
"I jist recently rented a unit from here and Carol was amazing. She explained everything in detail and helped me with all of my questions. Highly recommended!"
"I've had a unit here for over a year and it has been perfect! Exactly what I want from a storage unit- security and ease. My stuff always looks clean. No water has entered my unit- even with the storms. They are great!"
"Simply amazing!!! Ive been meaning to write this review for about a month. I was moving all the way from Burlington, and just couldnt seem to get things to come together. But I called, talked to a gentleman that worked there! He gave me all the information I needed. He was super pleasant! I went in, met Carol and she helped me to put together the best plan to get my things here to Raleigh. I know she had my best interest at heart because using their truck turned out to be more expensive then renting a U-Haul. She called them to compare prices, and applied the special of 1 month free rent! Talk about great customer service!!! Thank you guys for making my moving experience easy!"
"Love the customer service at this facility. Friendly, and helpful every time I have asked a question. Thanks for being a great help to me and my customer. "

"I will be closing my unit BC the cost is going up and due to non leniency for my budgetary needs I am extremely dissatisfied that I am having to pay a late charge. Every other place I use accommodates my payment needs. By raising my payment and not allowing me to pick my date I am no longer able to afford what used to be the best option in town. Congrats on losing a customer over a year old and someone who referred a client BC I thought you were a good company. Hope you enjoy continuing to gouge people from money they can't afford to pay. Very unhappy with the new payment structure. ??"
"I cannot remember her name at the moment but the lady at #857 in Raleigh, nc is always on the money and she is very helpful. I will continue to do business with them bc of her."
"Wendy was exceptional at taking care of our every need. The free use of the truck for hauling or things was one of the deciding factors in choosing this facility and the pricing was the best. The facility is highly secured and monitored. I couldn't have asked for better service. I highly recommend using Uncle Bob's storage off of Atlantic for your storage needs."
"Wendy is great! She is very customer service oriented and overall pleasant to talk to. She is very knowledgeable about the products and services and is always available when needed. This is the best experience I've ever had and I've used several other companies for storage rental. As long as Wendy is there, Uncle Bob's [Life Storage] will continue to get my business."
"The week I needed to put my belongings into storage, we had a very bad winter storm. The walkway to the building was covered with about a 3 inch layer of ice, which was never cleared during my visits to set up my unit. My first visit to sign my contract, I actually turned around and decided to come back later as the ice looked so dangerous to walk on. Even after I returned a few hours later, it was still not cleared. I'm a young, agile person who can handle the ice, but I cannot imagine how other customers dealt with this, especially given that I thought it was too dangerous the first time I stopped by. I understand NC isn't always prepared for ice, but you need to clear the walkway to the building, especially when customers are told they "have to" secure a unit on a specific day. "
"I would have liked the opportunity to use the moving truck free of charge. The 7 day time limit was not enough time due to what was going on. My daughter having a baby and our a/c not working."
"I am a big fan of consistency. I rented at another Uncle Bob's on and on for years. I was disappointed that the service and assistance was different on Atlantic. Carol on Mc Neil Street was an excellent manager and I miss dealing with her."
"I was going through a difficult time transitioning from one house to the other after my husband passed. They were very accommodating and even gave moral support and treated my family very well. I am very pleased with the staff. They went above and beyond the call of duty. "
"I go the space I needed, the special for booking online, a great deal by using your lock on the insurance and the free truck on the day I wanted. Both ladies in the office were wonderful. I am very pleased with my experience and would recommend this facility. I only wish there was a real Uncle Bob [Life Storage] :-)."
"Wendy was extremely helpful and polite. She guided us through the entire process with a smile. She showed us multiple units despite what I booked online. She is an amazing asset to Uncle Bob's [Life Storage]. "
"I'm grateful to have a storage unit that is convenient to get to. I'm grateful that my rent hasn't gone up yet, this year, and really need it to remain what it is, for now, until I figure out what to do about my health care costs. I appreciate you all. Thanks!!"
"I have already recommended Uncle Bob's Self Storage to Friends and Family. Should I have any storage needs in the future, I will definately use Uncle Bob's!"
"I rent at the Atlantic Avenue location in Raleigh, NC. I believe that Ms. Wendy is the office manager and she is always friendly and happy to address any concerns. I wanted to mention her specifically because she is always helpful and available."
"I was really impressed with the staff. Each month I went in the office to pay my bill and the manager always remembered my name. My unit was clean and after I moved my stuff out, I figured I might find a few bugs here and there, but I never saw one bug.
