Repairs start sooner
Roofers, drywall crews, and flooring installers need empty rooms. Clearing into a unit ten feet from the door happens in a day, so the rebuild schedule stops waiting on logistics.

Storm Damage Storage Containers in South Louisiana
After a hurricane or a bad storm, repairs can’t start until the house is cleared. A Stow-N-Go unit in the driveway gives your furniture and belongings a dry, lockable place to wait while crews work, without hauling everything across the parish.
Many Louisiana homeowners policies include Additional Living Expense coverage, and ALE commonly lists storage fees among the costs it can reimburse while a home is uninhabitable during covered repairs. Ask your adjuster about it and keep your Stow-N-Go receipts.
Why On-Site Storage After a Storm
Your things stay with you
Salvageable furniture stays at your address where you can check on it, instead of sitting in a facility across town while contractors ask where the armoire went.
Locked and out of the weather
A steel unit with your lock on it keeps belongings dry through the next round of rain and away from the eyes that circulate after storms.
A local truck
We’re based in Raceland, so the unit comes from up the road no matter which parish took the hit.

What ALE Coverage Can Mean for You
Additional Living Expense coverage, sometimes called Loss of Use, is the part of a Louisiana homeowners policy that pays the extra costs of living elsewhere while your home is uninhabitable from a covered loss. Alongside hotel and meal costs, storage fees for your belongings are a commonly reimbursed ALE expense.
That’s worth knowing before you decide you can’t afford storage during a rebuild. Document the damage, ask your adjuster specifically whether storage falls under your ALE limits, and save every monthly receipt. We bill clean and simple so the paper trail is easy.
One honest note: after a major landfall, demand for units spikes across the whole region and fleets run out. If a storm is in the Gulf and you know the house took damage, call early rather than late.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will insurance pay for my storage unit after a hurricane?
Often, yes. If your home is uninhabitable from a covered loss, Additional Living Expense coverage in many Louisiana policies can reimburse storage fees along with other extra living costs. Confirm with your adjuster; every policy has its own limits.
How fast can a unit arrive after a storm?
It depends on how many units are already out and what the roads look like. Call as soon as you have assessed the damage; the earlier you call, the earlier you land on the delivery schedule.
Can the unit stay in the driveway during the whole repair?
Yes. Units regularly sit on site for the full length of a rebuild, and the month-to-month rent keeps running until you have us pick it up.
What size do I need for a storm cleanout?
A 16 ft unit holds the contents of two or three rooms, which fits most roof-leak and partial-flood situations. Gutting a whole house usually calls for a 20 ft unit or two units.
Should wet furniture go straight into the unit?
Dry things out first when you can. The units shed rain and breathe better than a sealed trailer, and the insulated option helps, but sealed-in moisture invites mildew anywhere.
Can I rent a unit before a storm arrives?
Yes. Some families rent ahead of a forecast landfall to consolidate belongings and paperwork under one lock. Availability tightens fast once a storm gets a name, so book while it is still a cone on the map.
Do you handle the insurance paperwork?
We provide clear monthly receipts and any documentation of the rental you ask for. Filing the claim itself stays between you and your insurer.
