When you need your belongings stored safely off your property, Go Mini's of New Orleans, LA handles the entire process: we pick up your loaded container, hold it at our secure off-site storage facility for as long as you need, and return it on your schedule. No self-storage locker, no renting a truck. Just a straightforward service managed by Louisiana locals who understand what Metairie households actually need.
As a locally owned and operated location of a nationally recognized portable storage company, we combine industry-leading container design with the kind of attentive service you’d expect from a neighbor. Your belongings stay protected from the elements and completely out of your way until you’re ready for them.
The process is straightforward. We deliver a container to your property, you load it at your own pace, and then we pick it up. From there, you decide what happens next: we can relocate the container to a new address, hold it at our storage facility, or return it once you’re finished. There are no fixed deadlines on storage length, so if your timeline changes, your storage arrangement can change with it.
Pricing is transparent. You pay a flat monthly fee based on the container size you choose, with no late fees or seasonal upcharges. A delivery charge covers transport and careful placement at your property. Use our free instant online quote to see what your situation costs before you commit to anything.
Container Security & Build Quality
Once your container leaves your property, it’s held securely and ready when you need it. A few features worth knowing about:
Customer-Controlled Locking
Each container comes with lockable doors, and you keep the key.
Galvanized Steel Construction
Containers are built from galvanized steel and ventilated to resist humidity, which matters in the Gulf South climate.
Ground-Level Design
Containers sit eight inches off the ground to reduce exposure to moisture, and they load at ground level, making it far easier to move heavy or bulky items with less risk of injury.
Driveway Protection
Padded wheels protect your driveway and property during placement and pickup.
Regular Maintenance
Every container goes through regular maintenance checks to stay in top condition throughout your rental period.
When Off-Site Storage Makes Sense in Metairie
Metairie’s humid subtropical climate brings long, hot summers and the persistent possibility of severe weather between June 1 and November 30, when the Atlantic hurricane season is active. Having a loaded container stored securely off your property during that window is a practical choice many residents make. It’s also one of the most common approaches for homeowners managing a renovation, clearing space during a move between homes, or getting excess furniture and belongings out of the way for a stretch of time. Whatever the reason, off-site storage gives you flexibility without a fixed deadline.
Accessing Your Container & Local Rules in Jefferson Parish
If you need to retrieve something or add items while your container is in storage, you can arrange a visit to our secure facility. We’ve built the storage experience around customer convenience, so access isn’t locked to a rigid schedule.
Before placing a container on your property, it’s worth knowing that Metairie is an unincorporated community governed by the Jefferson Parish Council. Jefferson Parish rules, not city code, govern portable storage container placement, including how long a container may remain on-site. Understanding those guidelines before setup helps avoid surprises, and our team can walk you through what to expect.
Common Home & Project Storage Uses in Metairie
Whether you are preparing for hurricane season or tackling home improvements, off-site portable storage adapts to a variety of local residential needs:
Hurricane Season & Storm Preparedness: Secure outdoor patio furniture, lawn equipment, and household valuables off-site ahead of severe weather and tropical storms to minimize property damage risks.
Home Remodeling & Flood Mitigation Upgrades: Clear out living areas, kitchens, or bedrooms during major renovations or flood-proofing upgrades, keeping furniture safe from dust, debris, and active work zones.
Property Staging for Estate & Home Sales: Store personal keepsakes, extra furniture, and seasonal clutter off-site to make your Metairie property look its best for potential buyers on the market.
Flexible Move-In & Closing Gap Storage: Bridge unpredictable gaps between closing dates or lease agreements without the hassle of loading and unloading a moving truck multiple times.
Downsizing & Decluttering Projects: Take your time sorting through family heirlooms, seasonal decor, and archives while keeping your driveway and home clutter-free.
Tips to Prepare Your Site for Container Delivery
A few simple preparation steps ensure our delivery truck can safely place your container on your property:
Identify a Level, Stable Drop Spot: Select a flat concrete driveway or sturdy paved surface that can handle the weight of the delivery vehicle and container.
Verify Overhead & Clearance Space: Ensure the delivery path is clear of low-hanging oak branches, power lines, and roof overhangs to allow the truck's placement arm to operate safely.
Review Jefferson Parish Guidelines: Check local Jefferson Parish regulations and any neighborhood HOA rules regarding temporary container placement on driveways or private property.
Clear the Access Route on Delivery Day: Move personal vehicles, trash bins, and lawn equipment out of the driveway so our driver has plenty of room to position the container exactly where you want it.
Personalized Service & Container Sizes for Every Project
Our team guides you through every step of the storage process so nothing catches you off guard. From selecting the right container size to scheduling pickup and redelivery, we’re available to answer questions and keep things moving smoothly.
We offer a range of container sizes suited to projects of all scales. A small decluttering job and a full-house move have very different space requirements, and we can help you find the right fit. As a locally owned business, we don’t treat customers like a number in a queue, and our goal is a hassle-free experience from the day the container arrives to the day it’s picked up for the last time.

Exactly What Our Festival Was Missing
Go Mini's Storage was so easy to work with and exactly what our festival was missing and needed. We were able to get everything to the festival grounds a couple of days before the fest, which made it so easy to transport everything we needed to bring from our homes. It was also convenient after the festival to store everything.
The owners were professional, courteous, and delivered exactly what they said they would deliver. We are so happy to have Go Mini's Storage as the official storage of the Northshore Beer Festival. Use them for all your storage needs with confidence.
