Portable Storage in Saratoga

Space for a whole household

A Container That Waits at Your Door

A large household does not move or remodel in a single afternoon. Furniture, boxes and the contents of several rooms need somewhere to sit while crews work or while the next home gets ready, and most options force you to handle everything more than once.

UNITS delivers a portable storage container to your property in Saratoga and leaves it there. You load at your own pace. When you are ready, the container stays on site, goes to our secure warehouse, or travels to your new address.

Built Well, Run Locally

Our containers are made of a durable, breathable material that resists moisture, mold and weather, so furniture and boxes stay in good condition while they wait. Inside, E-Track strapping rails give you anchor points to tie down dressers, bookcases and stacked boxes so a load holds steady. The two sizes, 12 foot and 16 foot (8 x 12 and 8 x 16), let you match the container to the number of rooms you need to clear. Loading happens at ground level with no ramp, which keeps heavy pieces easier to carry in. You supply your own lock and decide who has access.

UNITS is locally owned and has moved and stored for East Bay customers for over twenty years. When you call, you reach a local team that schedules your delivery and pickup itself.

Move It

Moving?

Load the container over several days while you sort and pack room by room. When it is full, we pick it up and deliver it to your new address, or we hold it at our warehouse until the new home is ready for it. Your belongings are loaded once and unloaded once, and nothing waits in a hallway for a truck to arrive. Because the container goes where you send it, the move does not depend on lining up a truck, a crew and a calendar date. You can start loading the day the container arrives.

Need Storage?

A kitchen or bathroom remodel pushes furniture and appliances out of the way for weeks. Keep the container in your driveway, move things out of the work area as the crew needs the room, and bring them back when the work is finished. Month to month rental means the container stays only as long as the project runs. Delivery is often within 48 hours, and same-week delivery is common, so the container can be on your driveway before the crew starts. If the project runs long, the container simply stays where it is.

Portable Storage Compared With Movers and Self-Storage

Full-service movers

A full-service crew packs, loads, drives and unloads on a day set around their schedule. That works when everything is ready at once. Large households rarely are, and a fixed move day leaves little room to sort, donate or finish a repair before the truck arrives. With a portable container you load over days or weeks, decide what goes as you work, and pick the delivery date when the new home is ready. You pack and strap the load yourself, so you know where each item sits. Crews bring their own pace and priorities, and a careful sort rarely fits inside a booked window. A container lets a household take the time the sort requires.

Self-storage units

A self-storage unit means loading a truck or van, driving to a facility, unloading into the unit, and repeating the whole sequence in reverse when you want your things back. Access depends on the facility’s hours and on your ability to make the drive. A container at your property removes the drive and the second round of loading. Items go in once, and you open the door right where you live. During a remodel that matters, because the drive repeats every time the crew needs a piece back or you want something out of the unit.

Moving truck rental

A rental truck puts the driving, the loading schedule and the return deadline on you. A UNITS container is delivered to you and stays for as long as you need it, so there is no clock running while you work. Loading across several days is not realistic with a truck on the meter, which pushes the work into a few hurried hours.

Buying a shipping container

A purchased steel shipping container is a permanent object on your property. You have to buy it, place it and eventually get rid of it. A UNITS container is rented month to month and removed when you are done, and it arrives without large, bulky delivery equipment, which helps on a tight driveway. Delivery is often within 48 hours, and same-week delivery is common, which helps when a project start date is close.

What Households Use a Container For

A container fits any project where belongings need to be out of the way and still within reach.

  • Clearing rooms ahead of a kitchen or bathroom remodel so the crew has open space to work
  • Holding furniture during a flooring or painting project, then moving it back piece by piece
  • Staging a house for sale by taking extra furniture and personal items out of view
  • Storing the contents of a home between a sale and a purchase
  • Making room for a new addition or an accessory unit build
  • Setting aside a relative’s belongings during an estate cleanout

Questions About Portable Storage

Can I keep the container at my house during a remodel in Saratoga?
Yes. It can stay on your property for the length of the project, and you can move items in and out as the crew finishes each room. Rental is month to month, so you keep it only as long as you need it.

Can I strap down heavy furniture inside?
Yes. E-Track rails along the interior walls let you secure dressers, bookcases, appliances and stacked boxes with straps. Loading at ground level with no ramp makes it easier to bring heavy pieces in.

Will a container fit on my driveway?
UNITS delivers without large, bulky delivery equipment, so containers reach tighter driveways and spots a big truck cannot. Call (925) 454-8648 and describe your space.
