One of the things we like most about Devon Self-Storage is that it offers a relatively low price compared to others in the industry. The price of an 8' x 12' unit in March 2017 came to $57 per month. Many other companies feature prices $80 and above. With Devon, you can be sure that you'll get a good rate.

Climate Controlled Units

Many consumers look for climate controlled units so that they can keep delicate, valuable items safe from cold or very warm weather. Thankfully, every unit that Devon Self-Storage offers is climate controlled.

Customer Service

Another great aspect about Devon Self-Storage is that it provides good customer service. To determine this, we looked at the company's access hours as well as whether the company performs regular cleaning or maintenance on units. The access hours of the company are decent, being open from 6:00 am to 9:00 pm. Additionally, the company makes sure that every unit is clean for tenants to store their belongings.

Moving Supplies

Getting everything in order for your big move can be tricky. Devon Self-Storage strives to make it a little bit easier by providing moving supplies such as boxes, packing materials, furniture covers, gloves, and more. Of course, these materials do come at a cost, but Devon guarantees a competitive price as well as having the materials in stock.

The Bad

Undisclosed Information
No Moving Truck Rental
No Unit Locks Offered

Undisclosed Information

One of the biggest downfalls about Devon Self-Storage is that some of the information we tried to collect is not available on its website. First, the company does not disclose whether the storage units are indoor or outdoor. If all of the units are climate controlled, we could assume that means they are indoor units; however, we never want to assume, so we recommend checking with the company on that point. Additionally, some companies will reimburse customers for the time they do not use in the month once they move their things out of storage; however, we were not able to find any mention of this kind of offering, which probably means the company doesn't offer it.

No Moving Truck Rental

Many top companies offer a moving truck rental service to help you get your belongings from point A to their facility. Unfortunately, Devon Self-Storage does not offer this useful feature. If you need to rent a moving truck in addition to your storage unit, you'll have to look someplace else for that.

No Unit Locks Offered

No matter what you're storing, you want to know that your belongings are kept safe. Fortunately, the company has security measures in place to protect the facility such as video surveillance and an access control system; however, we were unable to find any mention of the company providing or selling locks to consumers for their individual units. The company may provide locks at select facilities, but we are unsure about this offering company-wide.

The Bottom Line

The low price is one of the best things to like about Devon Self-Storage. On top of that, the climate control, clean units, and moving supplies make the company a solid option; however, there was some information that was hard to gather from the company's website that potential consumers would want to check on before jumping in. Additionally, the company does not provide a moving truck which isn't necessarily a must but can certainly be useful. We recommend comparing Devon Self-Storage with other options, such as the top-rated companies, before making a decision.

Hoover office Birmingham, AL

Devon bought the building in late December 2021 located in Hoover Alabama where there are businesses along with storage units. The water to building has been off since Saturday and they cannot confirm when it will be on. They said prior owner was supposed to transfer service. People have been using toilet without flushing and it smells horrible and very unsanitary. Also, our business has been impacted because our therapy patients need to hydrate and be able to use the toilet. We cancelled Monday patients and delayed Tuesday patients because we were told water would be on by 3pm. It was still off. HELP! THIS IS BAD BUSINESS!! Update on this situation- changing my rating from a 1 to a 3. I called the water company about 4pm when our water didn't get turned on. The water company said tech came out and said water was already on. I corrected that it was not on. An hour later they got it turned on. Unfortunately, the toilet valve had gotten broken from people trying to flush with no water and the water started spraying out of toilet bowl like a fountain and flooding the office. The manager Shae was still in building and helped to try to find a building cutoff. My brother helped me find the actual cut on on the commercial style toilet. Shae was quick about lining up a plumber and Serv Pro to deal with issue in the morning. What a day!!
