Tools, guides & straight answers

Everything we get asked on the phone, in one place: which size, what it costs, what to buy, where to keep it, and how to get it done without a moving truck.

Tool 1

Storage size estimator

Pick the home you're clearing or tick off the big pieces. We'll point you at the smallest unit that fits — the one that costs you the least.

Your match

We'll show the unit, the price and what it holds. Not sure? Call (310) 515-9122 and we'll size it in a minute.

    The big decision

    Keep it at your place, or store it at our warehouse?

    Same steel unit, two ways to use it. Most people keep it in the driveway; the warehouse wins when there's no room, an HOA, or you want climate control.

    At your place

    In your driveway, side yard or lot

    • 24/7 access — it's right outside; your lock, your key
    • Sizes: 5x8 · 8x12 · 8x16 · 8x20
    • From $109/mo — the lowest monthly rate for each size
    • Placed by remote control exactly where you point — the truck never backs into your driveway
    • Steel walls and roof, weatherproof, pest resistant
    • Check your city or HOA for permit rules — our LA guide covers the common ones

    Best for: moves, remodels, staging a home, job sites, anything you'll dip into often.

    Need hands?

    Professional packing & loading

    Sometimes the unit is the easy part. Our SoCal moving team can pack a few rooms or the whole house, load the unit so nothing shifts, and unload it at the other end.

    • Pack, wrap and label — a little or everything
    • Load the unit wall-by-wall so it rides tight and nothing breaks
    • Unload and place furniture at the new address
    • Quoted by the job, booked with your delivery
    Protect it

    Insurance & protection

    Damage waiver — $10/mo

    Covers accidental damage to the unit itself. We inspect and photograph every unit before and after, so there are no surprises.

    Contents protection

    Covers your belongings against shifting in transit, severe weather, theft or vandalism. Required when you store at our warehouse; strongly recommended at your place. Check your homeowner's or renter's policy first — many already cover stored goods.
