Load your container at your own pace, on your own schedule. There are no strict deadlines, and our containers rent month to month.

03

Real Situations, Real Solutions

When Homeowners Need Portable Storage?

Local homeowners turn to portable storage for a few common reasons.

Historic District Renovation

Older homes in the historic district often need extensive repair work, and permits can take months to clear. Charleston portable storage container gives you a safe place to keep furniture and belongings while the work is done, without a rushed deadline.

Hurricane Season Preparation

Storm season means unpredictable timelines, and evacuation orders can come with only a day or two of notice. A container gives you a secure, weather-resistant option close to home instead of scrambling to find space at the last minute.

Real Estate Staging

The resale market here moves fast, especially in sought-after neighborhoods where homes can go under contract within days of listing. Clearing out extra furniture and clutter helps your home show better and sell sooner.

Mismatched Closing Dates

Sold your home before your next one is ready? A portable storage container holds your belongings safely in between, pack once and skip the double move.

The Comparison

Portable Storage vs. Self-Storage

The difference comes down to convenience: especially with traffic, bridges, and island crossings that can turn a short trip into a long one.

Rent a truck, drive across town

Renting a truck, driving across town, and unloading everything by hand, often more than once. Your things sit in a facility you have to drive back to.

Load once, at your own home

You load once at your own home, and we handle the transport. Your container comes to you, instead of hauling your things across the peninsula or over to James Island.

We utilized Stomo while we completed house renovations. We called on a Friday and they placed the storage unit at our house the following Monday. Jill was great to work with.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with STOMO! The professionalism and friendly phone conversations immediately set my mind at ease. Bins to pack my belongs were delivered to my house. In addition to furniture I underestimated the amount of “stuff” I had so they brought more bins. The nice , strong gentlemen handled all of my furniture and belongings with ease and respect. They were efficient and knew exactly the best way to load the storage unit. We stored my unit for 4 months in a safe air tight condition . At one point the unit was returned to me to retrieve some things I needed. With a mere phone call we arranged a time for them to pick it up and returned it to storage until the final move. Moving is a hassle and sometimes can be a nightmare. In this case, STOMO relieved me of so much mental and physical stress I will forever be grateful . Thank you STOMO for your excellent service!

This company was professional and took great care with our things overall. Everyone was very nice and patient with our needs for dispersing all items to various rooms. They offered to set up our furniture (beds) if we wished for them to. Would highly recommend!

Where We Deliver

Neighborhood We Serve

We deliver portable storage units across Charleston, including these areas. No matter which neighborhood you’re in , our mobile storage units arrive on schedule and at ground level.

Downtown Peninsula

Many historic homes here have no driveway, so a container is often placed on the street instead. We handle coordinating the required city permit for that, so you don't have to navigate it yourself before a renovation or a move.

Daniel Island

HOA rules here limit containers to 8×8×16, placed in the driveway only, for up to 30 days. We deliver our 8×16 container here specifically because it meets that requirement exactly.

Folly Beach

Storm season and limited on-site space make timing especially important here, and we plan delivery and pickup around both, whether you're clearing a property ahead of a storm or storing furniture during a renovation.

James Island & West Ashley

A large stock of older homes makes this a popular area for renovation work, and we deliver containers here regularly to keep furniture and materials protected while contractors have room to work.

Locally Owned, Not a Call Center

Why Residents Choose STOMO & MOVEMO?

Portable storage doesn’t have to come from a national call center. STOMO & MOVEMO is locally owned, not a national franchise, so when you call, you’re talking to someone who already knows how HOA rules work on Daniel Island or what a downtown home without a driveway actually needs, not someone reading from a script.

01
Ground-level, month-to-month

No ramps, no strict deadlines — pack on your schedule.

02
Weathertight containers

Built for Charleston's heat, humidity, and storm season.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question?

In most cases, no, if the container sits on your own driveway. The local county allows temporary portable storage units on the same lot as your home, subject to a few conditions. If the container needs to sit in the street, a right-of-way permit from the city is required.
Yes, we regularly deliver to homes without a driveway. In these cases, we can help you understand what is required for street placement.
Yes, Daniel Island’s HOA limits containers to 8 feet by 8 feet by 16 feet, placed in the driveway only, one at a time, for up to 30 days. Our 8×16 container meets these requirements. Our larger 8×20 container is not a fit for Daniel Island properties under these rules.
We recommend booking as early as possible once storm season approaches, since demand rises quickly ahead of major storms.
Yes, if you don’t need it on-site the whole time, whether you’re mid-renovation or just want your driveway back, we can hold it at our secure facility and deliver it to your next address whenever you’re ready.
