For Homeowners

A steel container in your driveway before the contractor shows up Monday.

You're three weeks into a kitchen gut, the living room is full of boxes, and the last thing you need is a storage company that "might" deliver sometime next week. We drop a 20-foot weather-tight container to your driveway in 24 hours, you load it at your pace, and we pick it up when you're done. Flat $129 a month. No fuel fees. No admin fees. No surprise charges.

  • 24hr Delivery guarantee — or your first month is free
  • $129/mo Flat rate. No fuel, mileage, or admin surcharges.

Family-owned in Denver since 2011 · NMSA Member #44218 · Insured by Lloyds of London up to $2M per container.

The numbers a homeowner checks before booking

Eight thousand families can't be wrong.

  • 4.9 Average across 8,412 verified Google reviews (Jan 2025)
  • 99.4% On-time delivery rate across 41,200 scheduled drops in 2024
  • 100% Weather-tight seal — independently verified by Intertek (2023)
  • $2M Lloyds of London coverage per container, per incident

We publish our numbers because the big national carriers won't. If they tell you "trust us," ask them for the audit.

Whatever's happening at your house right now

We put a container there for it.

Most of our homeowner customers aren't "moving." They're mid-project, mid-storm, or mid-decision. Pick the scenario that sounds like your week.

Renovation

Kitchen, bath, or full addition — keep living through the dust.

The cabinets are in the garage. The dining room is the staging area. The contractor needs the back of the house by Thursday. Move the contents into a container in your driveway, leave them for the duration of the build, then unpack in one weekend when the tile is grouted. Average homeowner keeps the unit 47 days.

  • Ground-level roll-up door — no ramp rental
  • Lockable with your own padlock
  • You keep the same container the whole job

Storm recovery

Water, wind, or fire — get the salvageable stuff out of harm's way.

Hailstorm took out the roof. Pipe burst upstairs. Wildfire smoke got into everything. A weather-tight steel container can sit on your driveway the same day you call, and your furniture, photo boxes, and appliances come out dry. Insured up to $2M per container through Lloyds of London.

Staging for sale

Declutter so the house shows like a model.

Buyers can't see past the kid's trampoline and the treadmill. Park a container in the driveway, move the extras out, and keep them five minutes away until the offer closes. Pickup usually happens within 48 hours of closing.

Between homes

Closed on the new place — but the old one's not empty yet.

Renovations slipped, closing dates moved, the in-laws need a week. Use a container as a bridge so you're not paying two storage units at once. We have one customer — a Denver art collector — who's had a unit on his property for 3.2 years. It's fine.

The whole job, end to end

Four steps from quote to pickup — and you never talk to a call center.

We're a small operations team in Denver. When you call, you get one of us. When you book, that same person tracks your container until it's back on the yard.

  1. 01

    Book online in 60 seconds

    Fill out the form. We call you back within 15 minutes during dispatch hours to confirm the drop window and the address. No deposit to lock it in.

  2. 02

    We deliver in 24 hours

    A driver in one of our 1,247 containers shows up in a tilt-bed truck, sets the unit on your driveway or job site, and hands you a padlock. You watch it land.

  3. 03

    You load at your pace

    Ground-level roll-up door, no ramps to rent, no appointments to schedule. Take a week, take a season. Track the unit's exact location in your phone if you want.

  4. 04

    We pick it up when you're done

    One call or one click. Driver shows up, swaps your empty unit for the loaded one, and it's back on our yard within 48 hours. Final invoice — no surprise line items.

A short note from Mike

Mike Halverson, founder of Portable Storage Team, standing next to a delivery truck.

Why I still ride along on Fridays.

My wife Carla and I started this company in our garage in Denver in 2011. We had one truck and two containers, and I drove every single delivery myself for the first two years. We now have 1,247 containers and 87 employees across nine regional hubs, but I still climb into the cab every Friday morning.

Here's why: the national carriers got big by squeezing the customer. Add a fuel surcharge. Add a mileage surcharge. Add a "convenience fee" for using a credit card. Miss the delivery window and blame traffic. Leave the container in a rainstorm because the seal is twenty years old.

We got big by refusing to do any of that. Flat $129 a month. One bill. If we're late, your first month is free. If your stuff gets wet, Intertek already proved our seal won't let it. The reason I still ride along is so I can hear, first-hand, what we got right and what we got wrong — usually within five minutes of arrival.

Before you book

The questions our homeowner customers ask before they book.

Don't see yours? Call dispatch at +1 (720) 555-0188 — a person answers, usually within two rings.

Will a loaded container damage my driveway or yard?

Our containers weigh about 4,800 lbs empty and up to 25,000 lbs loaded. On a standard residential concrete or asphalt driveway, that's well within tolerance — we deliver thousands a year with no surface claims. For pavers, soft gravel, or new (under-90-day) concrete, we'll lay plywood runners at no charge. Tell us your surface when you book.

What happens if it rains or snows while my stuff is in there?

Nothing. Our containers use a continuous welded steel seam with a rubber compression seal around the roll-up door. Intertek audited 100% of our active fleet in 2023 and confirmed a full weather-tight seal. Your stuff stays dry through a Midwest thunderstorm or a Northeast nor'easter.

How long can I keep the container?

As long as you need. Flat rate of $129 a month either way — there's no minimum rental or early-return fee. The average homeowner keeps the unit 47 days. The longest active rental on record is 3.2 years (a Denver art collector who calls it "the world's most boring gallery"). If you need to extend, just call.

What am I not allowed to put inside?

No hazardous materials — gas cans, paint thinners, propane, fireworks, ammunition, automotive fluids, or living things (people, animals, plants). Everything else is fair game, including furniture, appliances, clothing, books, tools, and boxes of sentimental stuff. For full restricted-items list, see our rental agreement at booking.

Do I need a permit to put one on my property?

In most cities, no — the container sits on your own driveway or yard and is treated like a temporary structure (similar to a dumpster during a renovation). A handful of HOAs and historic districts require a short notification; check your HOA bylaws if you have them, and tell us at booking if a permit might be needed and we'll send the paperwork.

Can I lock it? Is my stuff insured?

Yes to both. You bring your own padlock — we recommend a disc lock or heavy padlock, which you install on the roll-up door's hasp the moment we leave. Every shipment also carries $5,000 of zero-damage coverage from us at no extra cost, and the container itself is insured up to $2M per incident through Lloyds of London.
