Storage During Estate Liquidation
Settling an estate can involve sorting furniture, household goods, family keepsakes, and personal belongings before a property is cleared. A portable storage container gives you space to keep these items while family members make decisions or arrange for them to be collected.
STOMO provides storage for the process, while estate sales, appraisals, and the sale or disposal of belongings must be arranged separately.
Portable Storage for Downsizing
Moving to a smaller home often means there is not enough room for everything you currently own. A storage container gives you time to decide which belongings to take, pass on to family, or store for later.
You can sort items in stages instead of making every decision before moving day.
How STOMO Storage Works
Choose a container.
We offer 8×16 and 8×20 containers for different storage needs. Choose a standard weather-resistant container or an insulated container with a freestanding mini-split for climate control.
Schedule delivery.
We deliver the container to your property for convenient loading. Check local rules and any HOA requirements before arranging placement.
Load your belongings.
Place furniture, boxes, and household items in the container as you sort them. Ground-level access makes loading easier without a ramp.
Arrange pickup.
Keep the container at the property while you sort belongings, subject to local placement rules. Arrange pickup with STOMO when you finish.
What Can You Store During an Estate or Downsizing Project?
Store furniture, clothing, linens, books, kitchen items, and personal belongings while sorting an estate or moving to a smaller home. You can also keep items that family members plan to keep or that are waiting to be sold, donated, or moved to another property.
This gives you more time to work through belongings without clearing everything at once.
Weather-resistant containers help protect belongings from rain and wind. For items that may be affected by heat and humidity, we offer an insulated container with a freestanding mini-split for climate control.
Furniture
Keep larger household pieces together while decisions are being made.
Clothing & Linens
Store household textiles while sorting what will be kept, donated, or moved.
Books & Kitchen Items
Keep everyday household belongings out of active sorting areas.
Personal Belongings
Hold family items that are waiting to be collected, moved, sold, or donated.
On-Site or Off-Site Storage
Choose where to store your container based on the property’s needs and how long you need extra space. We offer on-site storage and an off-site option if the container cannot remain at the property.
Keep the Container On-Site
Keep the container at the property if space and local rules allow, making it easier to sort belongings and load items as you work.
Arrange Off-Site Storage
If the property needs to be cleared, arrange for us to pick up the loaded container and store it at our temporary storage facility.
Flat-rate, month-to-month rentals
No long-term contract, giving you flexibility while you sort through belongings.
