PORTABLE STORAGE

Portable Storage FAQs

Questions about how STOMO containers work, where they can be placed, how long you can keep them, and what you can store.
We deliver a container to your home on the day you choose and place it where you want it. You load it at your own pace, then arrange pickup with STOMO when you are finished. The container stays on your property while you use it, so there is no storage facility to drive to.
STOMO offers two container sizes, 8×16 and 8×20. Both are 8 feet wide, and the second number is the length in feet.
Choose the 8×16 for a smaller load, such as a few rooms of furniture. Choose the 8×20 when you are storing more, such as a larger home.
Yes! We drop off a conveniently located portable container. We place a STOMO mobile unit exactly where you want it.
Yes, if you can park a truck in the space, we can usually get a STOMO in there. A driveway or side yard works too, and a flat, firm surface with clear space overhead is best.
Rules differ by city and neighborhood. Some cities and HOAs limit how long a container can sit on a driveway or street. Check with your city or HOA before delivery, especially if the container will sit on a public street.
Yes, we can hold it on your behalf, at our facility, until you are ready for your STOMO to be relocated to your next destination.
No, the driver will have detailed notes prior to the arrival.
Customers commonly store furniture, boxes, appliances, tools, and seasonal items. Many also use a container to hold belongings during a renovation or a move.
Yes. Weather-resistant containers help protect your belongings from rain and wind. They are not waterproof or floodproof, so choose a spot where water does not collect.
Yes. STOMO offers insulated containers with a freestanding mini-split as a separate option from standard containers. They suit furniture, electronics, and keepsakes that do not do well in South Carolina heat and humidity. Confirm availability for your area when you book.
Yes. The container sits on your property, so you can open it whenever you need something. Just keep the area around the door clear so you can reach your items easily.
With self storage, you haul everything to a facility and unload it there. With portable storage, the container comes to you. You load it once at your own home and skip the extra trips.
Common uses are home renovations, time between homes, downsizing, staging a home for sale, storm repairs, and seasonal items. Many customers use a container for more than one of these situations.
Rentals are month to month. Keep the container for as long as your project needs and contact STOMO when you are done.
MOVING

Moving FAQs

Answers about STOMO moving services, booking, packing, apartment moves, military moves, and moving-day preparation.
STOMO provides the truck and a local South Carolina crew to load, carry, and unload your belongings. You get a flat rate with no hourly clock running.
Yes. STOMO does not offer packing, so have your items boxed and ready. The crew handles the loading, driving, and unloading.
STOMO moves customers anywhere in South Carolina, from local moves across town to longer trips between cities. STOMO does not move customers out of state.
Yes. Apartment moves are a regular service, including buildings with stairs, elevators, and limited parking. The STOMO crew carries your boxes and furniture out and sets them up at your new address.
Yes. STOMO has a military moving service for service members and families relocating within South Carolina. The same flat rate and local crew apply, so your move stays simple.
Book as soon as you know your date. Summer, the end of the month, and late August college move-ins fill up fastest.
Yes. Have someone present at both addresses to show the crew where things go and sign off when the job is done. This helps the crew place each item in the right room the first time.
Box and label your items, set valuables aside, and clear hallways and doorways. Save a parking space near the entrance for the truck, since it makes loading faster.
