Why does a Fredericktown remodel need a storage plan?
Older homes near the downtown square tend to have small closets, no basement storage to speak of, and a garage that's already full of its own clutter. There usually isn't a spare room to shove furniture into while drywall comes down, so it either goes outside, into a rental truck, or into a facility across town — and none of those are great for a job that runs for weeks.
Farm properties along the Kokosing River area and the county roads north and west of town have the opposite problem: plenty of outbuilding space, but it's usually full of equipment, feed, or a project that's already underway. A remodel adds a second storage need on top of a barn that has no room left.
Where does the furniture actually go?
We deliver a 16-foot Mobi directly to the driveway, the side yard, or a flat spot near the house. It sits at ground level, so you're walking a dresser or a dining table straight in rather than lifting it onto a truck bed.
Load it once, at the start of the job, and leave it until the room is ready for furniture again. If the remodel runs longer than expected — and remodels always do — the container just keeps sitting there. There's no truck sitting idle on a rental meter and no second trip to haul everything back.
What about contractors working the SR 13 corridor?
Multi-week builds along SR 13 and SR 95 don't need the house cleared out — they need tools and materials locked up on-site instead of riding back to the shop every evening. A Mobi parked at the job site does that: lumber, fixtures, and tools go in at the end of the day, the doors lock, and the crew starts the next morning without unloading a trailer first.
It also means fewer trips through town. A contractor working a Fredericktown job from a Mansfield or Mount Vernon shop saves real drive time by leaving materials on-site for the week instead of hauling them back and forth.
A renovation storage checklist for Fredericktown homeowners
A few things worth sorting out before the container shows up:
- Decide what's coming back into the house versus what's getting donated or sold — no sense paying to store things you've already decided to part with.
- Disassemble bed frames, table legs, and anything bulky before loading; it saves real space inside the container.
- Keep a walkway clear near the door for anything you'll need mid-project, like tools or a few boxes of dishes.
- If the property is a farm or has a gravel lane, let us know ahead of time so we can confirm the ground is firm enough for the delivery truck.
- Note any low branches or tight turns off SR 13 or SR 95 onto the driveway — we need about 40 feet of clear, straight space to set the container down.
What does it cost to store a houseful of furniture in Fredericktown?
Residential rentals are a flat $249 per month, billed month-to-month with no long-term lease. Fredericktown is 22 miles from our Mansfield yard, comfortably inside our 35-mile free-delivery radius, so there's no charge to drop the container off or pick it up again once the renovation wraps.
If the job also involves moving a vehicle, tractor, or equipment off the property, our Mansfield facility handles vehicle storage at $10.00 per linear foot per month, and general warehouse space runs $7.50 per square foot. Other configurations are quote-based — call and we'll work out a number.
