"Staff very helpful. Grateful for their assist while making decisions on what I really needed. Prices are extremely reasonable compared to other places I contacted"
"Austin listened to my needs and set me up with the right sized unit. Professional and friendly service. He made me feel like Life Storage wanted my business. I highly recommend!"
"Great place to store your belongings friendly staff and is secure. They were there when I had to store my items and move last minute. Price was right to begin with but did go up quite a bit the last 2 years. Only complaint was moved out my items on the 10th of the month and think there should have been a partial refund of the rent. Paid about $140 for a month and even getting $50 back would have been nice after being an on time customer for 2 years. Was only on-site 3 times... 1 to rent... 2 to move in and 3 to move out. Would still rent from them again if needed to but would just try to be out by end of month...was hard this time with unit in NC and being in PA"
"They raise prices twice a year, they have a very flawed computer system, 3 months in a row they were unable to process my payment, for no other reason than there own system. I had to drive there to give them a new payment method and the door was locked and said she'd be back at 2pm - uggghhhh - I told her I was coming. I went and did a couple of errands, got back at 2:20 and she was still NOT there. I am now paying over $200 a month to store my stuff - if it wasn't for the fact that it's a pain to move from one space to a new facility, I would be out of there. I will say it's a clean facility."
"I have been with life storage for 3 plus years in my undergrad of college! affordable pricing and great flexibility with your needs. Now I'm getting my masters and moving into my own apartment. life storage has helped me along my college years of being an out of state student with my stuff being in great hands. Great investment!!!!!!"
"I've had no issues here this has been the most easiest access to every location I need and have stayed Miss Jeanie is very nice and easy going and makes things easy for me.."
"Soo glad I found Ms. Jeanne/Uncle Bobs Storage!!
I would not have been able to get through this journey in my life if it weren’t for her; compassion, helpfulness, concern and security of my ‘physical things’ for my peace of mind.
Loove this place and the Awesome team they have helping keep our ‘things’ safe and secure! This is the place to store your belongings!"
"This place is affordable and the unit I rented is exactly right for my needs. The staff is very friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to make sure I have everything I need."
"I think this is uncle bobs old spot cause when they called me, my caller ID said uncle Bob storage. Anyway, they do have some great deals on 10×15 for under 150"
"I LOVE THIS STORAGE FACILITY😃 They’re VERY Friendly and ALWAYS gives OUTSTANDING Customer SERVICE!!! I recommend everyone to come to this location for your storage needs!"
"I have been renting a space for about a year for my small business. The price is excellent for this area, the buildings are spotless and well maintained. I like that I can access my storage unit as early as 7:00 a.m. The office staff are efficient and friendly. I rented a space when I lived in another state, from Public Storage and was never happy with them: hours, rates, attitudes. Life Storage is so much better and I strongly recommend them!"
"Immaculately clean space, courteous and super efficient staff. The price is reasonable for the size unit, with a/c (!), that I rent to hold the archived papers and back stock for my small, local business. As an early riser, I really appreciate being able to access my space at 7:00 in the morning!"
"I rented out a much needed space for about 5 months, to my surprise after sorting through my items, handbags, house hold things, clothes etc over half I'd say about 50% had molded, needless to say I had to trash it!! If ever in need of a storage unit, I'll do more research, ask more questions."
"Do Not!!!! I repeat do not use this storage company! Find any other company and save yourself a lot of headache and heartache! They are dishonest and deceitful and they do not deserve your business! Avoid at all cost!"

"Ive had an account at this location since October. Im normally a pay and go customer but when I walk in to pay my bill monthly I always leave out with a nice conversation and treated with much respect. I recommend THIS location because the owners and employees are good people ."
"Ms. Jeanne and Charnele are the greatest people in the world. They have the best security system in the world. I have never felt more safe than I am now. And the hospitality is amazing."
"I had a pleasant experience storing my car here for a few months while I temporarily moved out of state. Great location, great staff, and easy sign-up experience."
"Our family spent 5+ years in the Durham/Duke area using this clean and safe facility. We grew to know the owners, who never hesitated to go out of their way to help us. They're kind and caring people who always had a smile and knew exactly who we were. It was heartbreaking to say goodbye, but we cannot recommend them enough!"
"Been at this facility for a few years now and I love it here. The staff is very friendly and helpful, not to mention it's always so clean. I recommend them to everyone I know that is in need of a storage facility. Thanks Jeanne and Charnelle!"
"I dont know what I would have done without Jeanne and Charnele. These ladies are the best and they made everything so easy as well as having a spotless property. Will always recommend this facility as long as they are there."
"I have rented from them for 3 months and the custoner service has been nice! My card did not go through for my monthly payment and they gave me a courtesy call to avoid the late fee... That's good customer service! I wish the gate hours were a little longer but its for safety I assume! I would recommend this place."
"Very friendly, helpful, and attentive. Rarely have I dealt with staff at this type of establishment who genuinely cared about what they were doing. Very very pleased. I would hire these people!"
"Very nice to work with. When we arrived at the storage unit we found a different lock on our unit. You were right behind me, literally, with my lock that had to be removed for maintenance. Very nice."
"The associates were knowledgeable and friendly when we arrived to Life Storage to store my son's college belongings for the summer. I am glad to have found them!"
"The employees are so helpful, friendly, and professional. The office is very convenient, and I can get to my unit, add items, and be on my way in a few minutes."
"This specific store was awesome. I felt very comfortable and at home with the staff. There was no questions that they were not able to answer and they were very accommodating with my unusual schedule on the days I had to come in after their set times."
"We needed storage for a brief time and Uncle Bobs was most accommodating to the point of helping us with your rental truck. Your facility was neat clean and exceeded our expectations. Your staff was professional, accommodating and friendly. We had a most pleasant experience with Uncle Bobs and we certainly plan to use them again. Great Job."
"The complex is managed great. The only thing I wish would change is being able to get in the gate after hours. I store a car there and at times it is inconvenient to get it back before the gates lock. "
"I do not remember her name but the older lady at the office did a terrific job at accommodating my changing situation. She took care of all my problems promptly."
"I did not get my payment reminder yesterday (June 1st) or any time at the end of May. Luckily I remembered and pd this morning (June 2nd).
The payment reminder is needed and appreciated!
Thanks~"
"Ms. Jenny at the Durham store was superb! She definitely deserves a customer service award from the company or some type of acknowledgement. I am glad to get my stuff but I will miss interacting with her."
"WE were surprised to find a nice wide open drive space and the unit was nicely cleaned with no leaks. The manager came around to make sure we were comfortable with our unit. The Place was well lit and there was no trash anywhere."
"The locks you sell have a unique key. It was difficult to get copies made. I would not sell those to customers especially students who need copies made. "
"Ms. Jeanne is a wonderful representative for your company. She was thorough and pleasant to work with. I enjoy storing my belongings at Uncle Bob's [Life Storage] #176!"
"She takes her job very seriously and is a very empathetic and caring person. Her office space is exceptionally clean and organized. We didn't expect such exceptional service and provision from a storage unit manager. "
