Our Partnership with the Columbia County Board of Education to Support School Renovations
School renovations can be a logistical nightmare, especially when summer breaks are short and schedules are tight. The Columbia County Board of Education faced just that—but thanks to our tailored storage solutions, we made their multi-school project stress-free and seamless. This is the story of how we provided exactly what they needed, right when they needed it.
The Challenge: Keeping School Renovations Simple and Stress-Free
Managing school renovation projects isn’t easy, especially with tight summer timelines and so many moving parts.
The Board of Education faced some tough requirements:
Temporary storage that wouldn’t disrupt day-to-day school business
Precise delivery and pick-up scheduling to fit the busy summer construction window
A flexible partner who could roll with unexpected changes
And these weren’t small jobs. Sometimes, we needed to deploy up to 40 containers at once. Some summers, multiple schools were renovating; other times, a single site required our full attention. Staying flexible and responsive was the key to keeping things running smoothly.
The Solution: Local Know-How and Custom Support
Every project is different, so we don’t believe in cookie-cutter service. Here’s how we delivered for the Columbia County Board of Education:
Personalized Container Delivery
Over the course of several summers, we worked closely with the schools to figure out exactly what they needed. Often, we rolled out 30 to 40 containers at once—sometimes at one school, sometimes spread across several sites. Rather than dropping off everything at once and creating chaos, we delivered 10 containers at a time, spaced out by a few weeks. This method helped each school clear out classrooms in an orderly way and ensured no one was overwhelmed.
For each classroom, we provided a dedicated container. That made it simple for teachers and staff to track where everything was stored, from furniture to school supplies, minimizing confusion when it came time to move everything back.
Flexibility That Works for Schools
We know schools run on tight schedules, and renovations often stretch right up to the first day of classes. Our team worked hard to deliver and pick up units at times that didn’t cause problems for staff, parents, or students. That meant early-morning drop-offs, late evening pick-ups, or whatever else the timeline called for. We were careful about parking and placement to avoid clogging up lots or interfering with normal operations.
When projects ran into the school year, we coordinated closely to make sure everything got done behind the scenes without interruption.
A Human Touch—Every Time
One thing our customers say they appreciate? Actually reaching a real person when they have a question or even an emergency. Instead of directing you to a call center, you’ll talk to one of our small local team, the same folks each time, so you’re not starting from scratch whenever you call.
We’ve taken calls at 7:30 at night and stepped in on Saturdays when the schedule needed it. That’s the kind of commitment we bring to the table. Our focus is always on building a real relationship—not just ticking off a box.
The Results: Renovation Projects That Stay on Track
Because we stayed flexible, organized, and easy to reach, the Board of Education was able to focus on what really mattered: improving their schools for the students. Our service made a real difference by providing:
Efficient storage solutions for both quick upgrades and full-scale renovations
Minimal disruption to school routines, thanks to careful scheduling
Peace of mind through personal, ongoing support
We’re proud to have made these busy summers go more smoothly for teachers, staff, and students alike.

Simple and easy from start to finish
Scheduling and receiving the pods was simple. Communication was efficient and convenient. Pods are great quality and were easy to pack. Transfer of pods was easy to schedule. Pickup of pods took 10 days from the day I first communicated they were ready, but everything else was very simple and easy.

The Planning Couldn't Have Been Smoother
The planning couldn't have been smoother! Even the first contact to Go Mini's (ADS) here in Augusta. They explained the different options I had for the move, and they delivered the cube and placed it where I requested to be unloaded. The 1 month rental gave me "plenty" of time to load contents as I wanted. I easily secured it with my own lock. Once it was time to move it, I contacted dispatch for pickup and delivery (different date) to be delivered. The cube was at the new home "on time" with nothing at all that shifted inside, nor broken. "AMAZING"
I hope I don't have to move for a LONG time! But Go Mini's concept of having the cube as long as needed and to be moved on your time is a winner in my opinion!
And the competitor was $200.00 more than Go Mini's for the same request. My advice, call them first! I'm a very satisfied customer!

Outstanding service from the customer service staff and the driver.
The GoMini was exactly what I needed to assist with my cross-town move. Delivered on time, put where I needed. Moved it to the new house on time, put where I needed. Now it's gone. Outstanding service from the customer service staff and the driver as well. Highly recommend them.
Mark Fox
I highly recommend them to all in need of this service!
GoMinis quickly responded to our need for the pods after Hurricane Helene. We rented the pods to store our household goods for 9 months while our house was being repaired due to destruction by the storm. The pods provided great protection for all our personal property. It was a blessing that we were able to deal with this company, and I highly recommend them to all in need of this service!
Angel Colon
I highly recommend them to anyone.
Go Minis made it super easy for us to be able to move our 4-bedroom house! The day of closing, they picked up from our old house and had it delivered at our new house by the time we arrived. Communication was amazing and made our move a little less stressful. I highly recommend them to anyone.
Shaely Williams
