For over a year I have used this storage facilities in the East Bay and I am very happy. So I have my little list of what Ive looked for: - helpful employees - good security with cameras - indoor unites with some level of climate control - easy access to the units - reasonable rates It seems like a basic list, but not all places provide all this. Security Public Storage does provide this, and more. The facilities are some of the cleanest I have seen and the security is very good. The staff is friendly and helpful. They also have a good variety of unit sizes and shapes to meet your specific needs. The office sells a number of items that may be useful at a reasonable cost - packing boxes, bubble wrap, tape, locks, etc. In short, great great great storage facility as well as great staff!!! read more

Stay away from this storage facility. I have been a renter at this facility for awhile and previous managers were respectful, discreet and professional. Since I began renting there, I thought the place was clean, had adequate resources like carts and bathrooms that were easily accessible and the elevators, doors, gates and floors were maintained. The latest managers (I think they are a married couple?) operating the place have reversed all of this. The place is no longer clean, with random garbage strewn about the halls, inside the elevators. A couple of doors would not close, carts are not available (what happened to them??) and on more than a couple of occasions, the elevators in the different units did not function. The thing that is a current frustration with the tenants is that since the new managers got on board approximately two years ago, the rents have steadily increased with no clear and reasonable explanation. When pressed for an explanation about the sudden increases, the woman could not explain why exactly the rents went from and additional $5 a month to $10 a month other than the main company decided to do it this way and it had something to do with switching to another insurance provider (?). Of the two, the woman seems to be the most pleasant, although, to me, she seemed ignorant of the company's policies or equivocated responses to everything that I asked. In any case, I don't trust her and she has told me things that were not accurate or worse, led me down a bureaucratic rabbit hole by referring me to a main company phone number that only takes voice mail and never responds. It's as if Security Public Storage doesn't care or are doing this on purpose. The man who manages this place, presumably her husband, is simply difficult to talk to. Everytime I tried to talk on the phone with this guy, he seemed like he was having a bad day and made it seem like I had a problem when I asked about why the rents have gone up and why the physical plant was so dirty all the time. He is dismissive and, well, I just stopped trying to talk to him. The positive reviews for this site is the result of an enticement that the facility gives renters. If you leave a positive Yelp review, and prove your posting, then you get a rebate on your next month's rent. At times, it has been $10 off to $15 off next rent. If you skim through the bevy of reviews of this site you will note primarily 5 stars and 1 stars with few in between. This is the effect of the rebate. The one star reviews are harsh but are clear examples of the callousness of this storage facility and the property managers. I get the feeling, that they are trying to pressure renters to leave. For example, quick math for these increases (remember, they are a monthly charge that compounds the cost of your rent) is a 30% increase over two years. For example, if your rent was $150 a month, it is $1800/yr. A 30% increase means that you are now paying $2400/yr. That's a $600 increase in rent over two years. The rental facility will tell you that it's well within their right to do the rent increases and the adjusted rental agreements sent yearly that renters are compelled to sign, contain clauses that say rents can be raised at anytime without explanation. And you have to agree to this contract if you want to keep your stuff stored there. I can say that the previous mangers only raised the rents ONCE a year. Since this couple took over the rents have gone up EVERY 6 MONTHS and at a higher rate each time ($10 increase in 'insurance' instead of '$5' as with the previous two managers). I don't like the new management. I think they are there to enforce these 'low-level eviction policy' to remove older, long-standing tenants so that they can rent the place at a higher rate. It's a pernicious policy and is making it harder for renters to use that service. I am surprised that at this point, complaints to legal authorities haven't been filed yet for the property, specifically in the rent increases which are usurious. I won't be surprised if something like this doesn't happen soon. In any case, I continue renting there because it is located within a few miles of my place. However, I am looking for another facility with a lower price and with a better reputation. This place is going down fast. This is too bad, because it was at one time a really nice place. Maybe I'm lucky enough to get out of there quickly before the Richmond law enforcement shuts them down. In any case, new renters, heed this review. Check out as many places as you can and read the Yelp on them before you do business them. But, stay away from this place. read more

Managers are great!!!!! Onsite managers!! Both of them are great people. Made me feel comfortable and didn't rush me at all to rent. Very clean storage units and facility. I would recommend this place to everybody. Anyone who need to rent a storage unit. read more

I've looked at various storage facilities around San Pablo and Richmond and I can definitely confirm that is the best you can find. Their prices are reasonable, the storage units are spacious, the facility is kept clean, it is nicely secured (automated fences, good lighting, multiple video cameras, on-site manager), and the customer service is outstanding. The items I needed to store couldn't be exposed to hot temperatures so the lady (I forgot her name unfortunately) offered to give me a storage unit located at the coldest part of the facility. This totally made up for the fact that they don't have temperature controlled units. I really appreciated that they did this for me because I really didn't feel like paying extra at a facility that has air-conditioned units. And it doesn't hurt that the facility is very close to my house. Why do I consider them to be the best storage facility you can find? It's because I feel like I can trust them to keep my belongings safe which is the single most important thing for me. So, yes I would highly recommend them. :) read more

I LOVE JANICE AND KEN! They take good care of the facility, they take good care of me and they have wonderful, warm personalities. I run a Home Staging Business and I love the safety and secure access of the building. There has been times where I have to stop in late and to have them there for any emergency situation is wonderful. I rate them "wonderful"!!! Voni Gilliam of Home Staging by Voni Gilliam read more

Best place to store all your stuff. Been here for years and never have had any problems. Always get calls when payment it due.

Stopped at the Publix stores today I had the privilege of meeting Jordan and Melissa the new on-site managers and also the training administrator Liz. These folks were awesome Jordan took out the time to show me a couple of storage units, he was very professional. And dealing with his wife Melissa she was also very professional and I can say the same for Liz was at the Daly City store. I highly recommend the storage facility they certainly will contribute to the store to my equipment as I continue to grow my business. Thanks again Jordan, Melissa and Liz for your excellent customer service. read more

A+++ Amazing and safe place to store your goods. This is my second time renting from this place and I wouldn't go anywhere else. The storage units are extremely clean along with the whole property. I really enjoy the customer service I receive from all the staff in the office. I highly recommend this place to anyone that cherishes their goods. The security and alarms of each unit is a huge plus for me. Thanks Felix and the team at Security Public in Richmond ! read more

Our family is in the process of moving and need to store some things for a few months. My mom had a good experience at this location in the past so we decided to give it a try. We are very happy with our decision. The facility is well maintained. The pricing is reasonable. What sold us on this location was the staff. They are so friendly and very professional. Not sure where this adventure is going to take us but if we have storage needs in the future we would work with them again. read more

I am so happy I chose this location. Janice and Ken are amazing and provide excellent customer service. The grounds are very clean, secure and easy to get to. read more

Very helpful and friendly service Tina knew exactly what size unit I needed after we talked I'm a 1st timer so I didn't have a clue

This place is great! I know my stuff is safe with them. Very friendly and helpful people always ready to lend a helping hand.

Great storage facility, location, and service. Representatives Melissa and Jordan are super friendly and helpful. Facilities are well kept and all lockers are very accessible. Highly recommended! read more

Absolutely fantastic all around! The facility is like new and the managers keep it clean and well managed. Greg and Jannette do an incredible job of remembering all of their customers and make you feel take care of on a personal level. They were incredibly helpful and the facility also has dollies, carts and even a truck available for customer use. I can't imagine any way my experience could have been better. read more

Not a bad place, I feel pretty safe and my stuff as well. Have live in workers onsite so that's pretty cool. Price are OK and are willing to work with you. Only thing bad is the code key are to close to the gate and I have to back up and drive forward again, but that's something it can't be helped. read more

I just recently had to rent a storage. This process of moving, trying to sell a house, finding a place to live all this has been very difficult. Renting a storage was the only thing that was easy and no hassle which means a lot when everything else has been a nitmare. Renee and Felix are wonderful and I heard Steve is wonderful too. I'm glad of that since I just learned that Renee and Felix are leaving. I hope the next managers are as competent as the them. I was reassured that will be. Good Luck to the both of them. read more

Very friendly folks. I've had a unit here for about a year and never an issue. Very happy

The friendliest staff around! Love the fact that I feel safe about leaving my things in such capable hands.

I would definitely recommend this storage facility to anyone looking for an affordable secure storage unit in the San Pablo/ Richmond/ Hercules area! After checking out 5-6 facilities in the area I found out Public Security Storage had the lowest prices and great all around deals for all unit sizes. They had a lot of availability and the process was extremely fast and easy. Another reason I would definitely recommend them is because of their great staff and customer service. Each person I spoke too was very friendly and helpful they took their time with a smile to talk about all the great deals they offer both online and off. (Hi Richard from Hayward!) (and manager from Daly City!) read more

A great place for storage if you are in the Richmond area. The facility is very secure and since it is a rather new facility, it has the latest in design and security technology. I have used the facility for a number of years. The managers are friendly, know what they are doing, offer a personal touch, and generally seem to look out for you. The present managers are the best so far. Throughout the years, I have used many storage facilities and this is the best I have found. Restrooms are available and clean. The site is well maintained and pleasant. A general flow of customers give 'life' to the place. (this is important because some storage places are a little isolated). read more

the absolute worst. the storage unit was the subject of legal proceedings. the staff refused to call back after numerous calls from the receiver and attorney. i had to get a court order. no management available. no way to call the area supervisor. inept and unsupervised staff. read more

Great storage location. Wonderful customer service, clean and secure. Will definitely recommend it to family and friends- Benita R.

Easy service and friendly staff. Getting a new locker was easy. Thank you to Janice for all the help.

Melissa and Enrique were absolutely lovely. Super helpful and knowledgeable! Also their prices are unbeatable! I'll definitely be referring friends/family/clients! read more

The facility is extremely clean and well light. The staff are amazingly friendly. The location is central to the freeway for easy access.

security storage is my place...courteous and professional staff with the best candy...

Renee and Feliz were extremely nice and helpful! The guidance was very clear. Couldn't have asked for better customer service!

Clean space, nice people and a free truck to move your stuff into the facility. Plus, they were willing to match the best price in town (which did not have an equally as nice facility or management). read more

Never purchased storage before but the team here made it easy. They found exactly what I needed and kept it at an affordable rate! If you need storage at least shoot them a call and see what they can do. read more

I had never rented a storage before and was skeptical as to what to look for. After dealing with one place in El Cerrito (the place's name will be kept confidential for privacy) the manager was a slacker and he gave me a bad vibe. When I came here to Security Public Storage the managers were SOOO attentive! They waited for me after business hours so I could complete my lease (even though they were due to close), one day I got there after the office closed and I needed a doly and the manager, Diane, was on the floor and she was nice enough to open the shed for me so I could use a doly (even though she had long been closed). The managers are greaT! The security is great! The customer service is great! Enough said.... =) read more
