Cool-Binz in Ann Arbor, MI

Offers for Home Improvement and Portable Storage

Moisture, heat, humidity, and pests wreak havoc on belongings stored in traditional mobile storage containers. COOL-BINZ founders Kathy and Ernie, along with their beloved dog Jersey, learned this firsthand when most of their own belongings were damaged or destroyed after being in storage that was not properly climate controlled.

At the time, they had recently moved down to Florida and were renting a storage unit while completing a total home renovation. Florida’s daily weather already creates tough conditions for storage, but to make matters worse, a major hurricane hit that completely crippled the region. All work on Kathy and Ernie’s home ground to a halt. All the things they had put in storage were stuck there until the house could be completed.

When they were finally able to move their belongings out of storage, Kathy and Ernie discovered that a lot of things were ruined. Items had melted or warped, appliances had yellowed, and many things were growing mold.
