I was ready to start my garage workshop refresh but from the start I had a MAJOR problem! I wanted to refinish the floors, which takes a few days and therefore this would involve me moving everything from inside to… wait, where am I putting all my stuff?!
I knew moving my things off site was not an option. I don’t have a pick-up truck nor would I want to haul everything off my property, just to bring it back in a couple days. That would be a nightmare! I started investigating alternative ways; searching for storage pods, containers and basically anything portable that could come to my home, instead of having to leave.
The hunt was on! I reached out to three companies to find out more information about the process, pricing and availability. My first call was to a well-known storage brand, but I’ll leave out the name just to be fair. To my surprise, they didn’t even offer portable storage. So, in my New York accent, I told her, “you gotta be kiddin’ me!”, and I was on to the next. As I mentioned earlier, good customer service is SO important when working with storage companies, I have heard and read some horror stories when researching.
Company number two was an easy no-go from the start. I was on a call with an automated message, hitting a dozen numbers on my keypad with no real human in reach, so I said “forget about it” and moved on.
Luckily, the third time was a charm! I discovered a locally owned and operated company, UNITS Moving and Portable Storage. Being new(ish) to the area, working with a local was super important to me. There are so many reasons why I decided to choose @UnitsStorage and I’m excited to share them with you.
Booking Made Easy
Booking a container through UNITS Moving and Portable Storage was a walk in the park. Let me rephrase that, it was an enjoyable stroll on the beach. The process was smooth and straightforward. I filled out some general information and got a free quote right on unitstorage.com. Moments later, I received a call from a local representative, Brian. He was friendly and took his time explaining the best option for me and my project. He was extremely knowledgeable when answering my questions about pricing, scheduling and the logistics of the process. I knew that working with a local rep would eliminate any potential headaches.
Drop Off Convenience
Now, here’s the game-changer! The UNITS container was effortlessly dropped off right in my driveway! I received a call 30 minutes before arrival confirming my container delivery was right on time and ensuring no need to worry. I quickly understood why there was no need to worry once they arrived. The professional pulled up, in an orange safety vest and all. He used their Robo system technology to orientate and move the UNITS container exactly where I requested. With this fancy tool, there was no issue coordinating or getting over my steep curb cut or through any of the tight spaces.
Container Features That Wow
Let’s talk about the star of the show – the UNITS container. Wow, this container was legit! It was spacious, weather-proof, and secure! I did a little comparison against other “portable storage” on the market and UNITS containers are in a league of their own. With top of the line ventilation, weather sealing, an E track system for securing items, double swinging doors apart from a rolling door and nice heavy disc lock – they’ve thought of it all. I’m honestly surprised UNITS doesn’t specialize in container homes… yet.
Load it up!
The UNITS container fit a ton and I mean a ton of stuff! My three car garage was full of things, both big and small and I was able to strategically fit it all! This container was so wide I was able to stack things along the back and sides and still leave a walkway for me to access what I needed at any time. The peace of mind I had throughout the stay of the container was huge to me. I knew my things were safe from the elements but also from a security standpoint. With the disc lock provided by UNITS, no one was breaking into this thing!
Stress-Free Completion
When my floors were finished and my UNITS container was emptied, it was picked up and gone like it was never here. The ease of my entire experience with UNITS Storage Portable Storage was seamless from start to finish. My container was picked up and gone like it was never here.

Oh, and did I mention UNITS is not just local to me? They have a widespread presence across the USA and even in the Cayman Islands… all which are locally owned and operated!
