"Ms. Carol and Ms. Donna were exceptionally caring and helpful to my needs. I had my large unit for approx. 2 years and never had an issue accessing it when needed. They worked with me through a very difficult time in my life and I always felt that there was a sense of hope when leaving the office or storage unit. I also had a smaller unit for the last few months and it worked out perfect! I will definitely recommend them to anyone looking for storage. Thank you for keeping my hope alive when I was at the worst point of my life! Its not just about my personal belonging but the thought of truly belonging as a person!Both of these ladies offered that everytime I walked through the door. I greatly appreciate the Complete customer care they provided."

"My husband and I were very pleased with our storage there. My husband is now deceased (Sept. 7th) and I have moved to South Dakota to be with family. I would definitely recommend your storage units to anyone and if I ever move back to Chesapeake, and need more storage, I would choose uncle Bob's Storage. "
