In 2020 we’ve seen a growing demand for portable storage. Many people are moving, downsizing, or decluttering their homes and need a place to temporarily store their belongings.
Portable storage certainly has its perks– it’s convenient, flexible and safe. Even so, the process of moving and storing your belongings can be stressful. Getting the right professionals on board can be the difference between a care-free move and an overwhelming situation. At Blue Sky, our friendly storage professionals know how to anticipate the challenges and curve balls. From the first phone call you have with our team to when we finally pick up your storage unit, your end-to-end experience will be seamless and hassle-free.
Let’s walk through the entire process of renting a Blue Sky portable storage unit. Here’s what you can expect:

4. Packing Everything Up
It’s time to load everything into your storage unit. Unlike many traditional moving companies and truck rentals, you won’t be locked into a strict deadline. We can leave your storage pod at your site for a day, a week, a month or a year! This means you can take your time and load your belongings at your own pace. Sometimes, unforeseen circumstances happen, and we understand if your schedule has changed. Our team will do our best to accommodate new timelines and pick up dates to make things easier on your end.
5. Pick Up & Storage
Once your belongings have been loaded, the storage unit can remain onsite, or we can store it to our own facility, and have it delivered to the same location or a new one. There’s no need to worry about the safety and security of your items– our lift keeps container contents level, and our facility has video surveillance 24/7 for your peace of mind.
Moving, downsizing, decluttering; these are not easy feats, but we’re determined to change your perception of how things are typically done. Our top-quality portable storage units provide flexibility and our professional team is happy to provide the level support you need.
