Case Study: How Go Mini’s of Northern Fairfield and Litchfield Counties Simplified a Major Housing Renovation

Renovating an entire housing community is a challenge, but when it’s done right, the results are worth it. At Go Mini’s of Northern Fairfield and Litchfield Counties, we know every successful renovation needs thoughtful planning—especially when managing storage. That’s exactly where we stepped in to support Related Property Management during their recent affordable housing renovation here in Connecticut. 

This was a large-scale project involving an entire residential community, and they faced significant challenges when trying to keep belongings safe while ensuring enough space for contractors to work comfortably. They initially turned to another company for storage containers, but it didn’t take long for them to see they needed something more efficient. That’s when we worked together to deliver a better solution.

The Challenge 

Big renovations bring big challenges—and this one was no exception. Related Property Management needed secure, temporary storage for furniture, appliances, and tenant belongings, but the solution had to work for everyone involved. While they started out using 16-foot containers from PODS, the competitor’s largest option, it soon became clear they had some pain points:

• Not enough space: The 16-foot containers couldn’t handle the volume they needed to store. This forced them to rent more units, driving up costs and complicating logistics.
• Awkward placement requirements: The competitor’s delivery system required each container to have 12 feet of wide clearance (two feet on each side), taking up too much valuable space on the renovation site. This left less room for contractors to move freely and operate efficiently.

They needed a more practical solution—something that could maximize storage space, fit seamlessly on-site, and keep the renovation running on schedule. 

The Go Mini’s of Northern Fairfield and Litchfield Counties Difference 

When Related Property Management came to us at Go Mini’s of Northern Fairfield and Litchfield Counties, we knew exactly what to do. With years of experience helping local businesses, contractors, and property managers tackle storage needs, we jumped in to provide a solution tailored to this project. 

Bigger Containers = Bigger Solution 

One of the first ways we helped make their renovation smoother was by upgrading them to our 20-foot storage containers. Our containers offer 25% more space than PODS’ largest containers—that’s an additional 235 cubic feet per container. 

This extra room made a big difference:

• Fewer containers were needed: By storing more in each container, Related Property Management could cut down on the total number of containers required, simplifying logistics and reducing costs. 
• Easier organization: Our spacious units provided room to consolidate belongings, saving time and making everything more manageable.

For a project of this size, that larger capacity helped streamline the entire process from start to finish. 

Maximizing On-Site Space with Smart Placement 

One of our key strengths is how our delivery system works. Unlike the competition, which requires 12 feet of wide clearance for placement, we only need 9 feet of clearance. That’s just 6 inches on each side of a container, compared to the two feet required by PODS. 

Why does this matter? It adds up quickly for a project requiring dozens of storage units:

• Tighter, more efficient setup: Using less space between units allowed us to place the containers side by side, utilizing the space far more effectively. 
• More room to work: Freeing up site space gave contractors the room they needed to focus on their jobs without unnecessary obstacles. 

This detail may seem small, but for local renovations where every inch of space matters, it’s a huge advantage. 

Local Expertise and Reliable Service 

We know Connecticut projects can move fast, and the last thing anyone needs is a delay with storage. That’s why we pride ourselves on being responsive and reliable for every single project. 

For Related Property Management, our team made sure all deliveries and pickups were done exactly when needed. Whether it was dropping off 50 containers or coordinating removals, we kept the lines of communication open to ensure the renovation stayed on track. 

With Go Mini’s of Northern Fairfield and Litchfield Counties, you don’t have to worry about late deliveries, unclear scheduling, or running out of units. We’ve got your back, every step of the way.
