Many home renovation projects like remodeling a kitchen or basement, making an addition or upgrading floors require the need for accessible extra storage space on-site. On-site portable storage offers a convenient solution that can be customized to meet any customer’s needs with complete access to contents 24/7 while the container sits on your property. ## Does it save trips to a storage facility? On-site storage with portable storage and moving containers eliminates renting and driving a truck to bring your goods to a fixed storage facility. It also saves on the multiple trips to a storage facility and the multiple loading and unloading required when renting a fixed storage locker. ## Can I get help loading and unloading? On-site storage doesn’t mean that you have to do things yourself. Given the flexibility with on-site storage, you can hire local professionals to assist with loading and unloading of your container. This flexibility is really important when exploring portable storage and moving solutions. ## Are my belongings safe and dry? With a portable storage and moving container on-site, you can load and unload the container at your own pace and secure and lock your goods within the container. These weather-resistant containers are perfect for keeping everything out of the elements and protecting your goods to ensure they remain in the same condition as when loaded into the portable storage container. Additionally, contractors will use containers to store materials and goods on-site for various projects so materials are readily available when required. ## How to get a quote NPSA is a trade association.

A portable storage container is delivered to your property and stays there while you work on your project. You load and unload at your own pace and lock your goods inside. It suits home renovations, such as a kitchen or basement remodel, an addition, or new floors. Can I get into the container whenever I want? Yes. On-site storage gives you complete access to contents 24/7 while the container sits on your property. That helps when you need an item mid-project without calling the provider or waiting for a delivery. Will my belongings stay dry? These are weather-resistant containers that are perfect for keeping everything out of the elements, so goods stay in the same condition as when loaded. Pack well, and ask your provider about the condition of the container and how it handles moisture. Do I need a permit or HOA approval? Rules are local and vary by city and neighborhood. Driveways often differ from streets and sidewalks, and an HOA may have its own rules. Ask your provider and your city or HOA before delivery. Our permits and HOA guide explains what to check. Can contractors use on-site containers? Yes. Contractors use containers to store materials and goods on site for various projects, so materials are readily available when required. Ask your provider about sizes, how the container will be placed on your site, and how soon it can be moved when the job changes. ## More portable storage options - [Storage containers](https://npsa.preview.multisites.ai/portable-storage-containers) - [Mobile offices](https://npsa.preview.multisites.ai/mobile-offices) - [Storage trailers](https://npsa.preview.multisites.ai/storage-trailers) - [Mobile self-storage](https://npsa.preview.multisites.ai/mobile-self-storage) - [Refrigerated units](https://npsa.preview.multisites.ai/refrigerated-units) - [Local move](https://npsa.preview.multisites.ai/local-move) - [Long distance move](https://npsa.preview.multisites.ai/long-distance-move) - [Storage centers](https://npsa.preview.multisites.ai/portable-storage-centers) - [Heavy industrial](https://npsa.preview.multisites.ai/heavy-industrial) - [Light industrial](https://npsa.preview.multisites.ai/light-industrial) Need storage? ## Get quotes from NPSA member companies Tell us what you need and where.
