The origin story
Why we
exist

Short version: selfishly, I started this to solve my own problem. And realized I wasn't alone. Not nearly alone.

The confession
I love my wife.
I hate storage units.

Every year, being the holiday lover she is, she buys more decor. Every year, we have less space. Eventually, a man has to choose: the wife, or the garage.

I chose the garage. (Kidding. Mostly.)

Four bigger houses and one very confused U-Haul guy later, turns out you don’t actually have to choose — you just have to stop being the one hauling bins to a storage unit like it’s 1997. I still wanted to keep my wife. I also wanted my space back. I did not want to rent a unit twenty minutes away and load a truck twice a year like some kind of seasonal pack mule.

So I built the thing that solved my problem.

Turns out it’s everyone else’s problem too.

How we actually run this
Small, local,
and a little obsessive

We’re based in Ann Arbor and we like it that way — this isn’t a franchise playbook, it’s a service we run ourselves, for our own neighbors. Every bin is the same standardized size, tracked and sealed at every handoff, so nothing gets mixed up with anyone else’s tinsel. Pricing is flat and in your face, not something you have to call and negotiate to find out. It is what it is.

What you
won’t find here
No leases
No guilt trips
No “just one more bin” arguments
No pretending the garage was ever going to stay clean on its own
Just your holidays, showing up on time — every time

it for yourself?
