Monguillon – Expanding your home with convenience

Your Home Improvement Storage Solution

“What should I do with my things while you work on my home?”

This is of the questions we get asked most often by our clients. It’s understandable, though. After all, if you are without a space in your home that you usually utilize, or if you have all the things you need ready to be set up in the granny flat that doesn’t yet exist because we’re still in the process of building it—then what are you to do?

Fortunately, we have a simple solution.

Self-Storage
Many people tend to shy away from the idea of renting a storage unit because they only need it for a short amount of time (our team completes projects within an impressive time frame, after all!). While storage units are an excellent way to keep your things safely tucked away in a place you know where they will be safe, it’s not a practical solution if you only need something stored away for a short time. Or is it?

As it happens, short term storage is just as readily available as long term storage. Many people can’t be aware of it as an option or simply don’t think about it, but it’s an extremely convenient and simple way to keep things safely out of the way while you prepare for your new granny flat or modular home to finish construction.

The Best Way to Prepare for Your Home’s New Addition
At Monguillon, we recommend short-term self-storage as the number one way to prepare for your home improvement project to be complete. Still a few weeks out from finishing your new space, but have already spotted the perfect couch for the area—but have nowhere to put it? No problem! That’s what makes self-storage such an ideal solution.

Now only that, but if you have more furniture, boxes, or other goods that are taking up space you simply cannot spare in your home any longer, then long term storage is also not a bad option.

For any questions about getting started on building your new granny flat, or what to do with your things in the meantime, get in touch with us at Monguillon today!

Ideal Addition

Your Home’s Ideal Addition

Have you ever been wondering why granny flats or modular homes are such a popular trend nowadays that people are adding to their properties? As it turns out, there are a lot of practical reasons why people choose to invest in such a home improvement choice. Here are some of the most popular reasons that people decide on a granny flat as their home’s ideal addition:

Privacy and Comfort for Guests: Have people come to visit often? While the point of having someone stay with you is to spend time with them and it’s nice to enjoy their company, everyone needs a little bit of time for themselves. A granny flat is an ideal way to make sure everyone can get privacy when they need it.
Ideal Home Office Space: When you don’t have visitors in town utilizing the space, these additions make great home offices. As an excellent way to escape the normal routine of the rest of the home, you can get into the right mindset for work.
Additional Storage: Have a lot of things in your home that needs a place out of the way? While renting out a storage unit is always a great option for such situations, a granny flat is another option if you want to keep your belongings close to home but out of the way of the rest of the house.
Increase Home Value: Thanks to all the above benefits, many people love granny flats and would choose to have one in their home—which is why having one on your property is an excellent way to increase your home’s value. As a highly-coveted feature, it gives your home the upgrade it deserves.
Rental Opportunities: Whether you have a niece or nephew looking for an affordable place to stay during college, or if you are looking to list the place on Airbnb, having a granny flat or modular home constructed as an addition to your home opens the door for so many rental opportunities. If you should choose to do this, your home’s new addition will begin to start paying for itself in no time.

As you can see, there are plenty of benefits that come along with having a granny flat constructed as an addition to your home. So, what are you waiting for? Throw your things into short term storage and give us at Monguillon a call so we can get started on making your dream modular home a reality today!
