Maxx Self Storage isn’t your typical mini-storage provider.
They offer a well-lit climate controlled building accessed by automatic sliding doors with units up to 10-by-25 feet. Non-climate controlled units are as large as 12-by-30 feet.
Everything is protected by a state-of-the-art security and fire system.
‘We monitor it 24 hours a day,? said Tim Goodwin, co-owner.
Outdoor spaces of up to 13-by-55 feet are available for RVs, boats and trailers.
There are 137 boats and RV’s already, and there is room for an additional 100. They offer fall pick up, winterization, shrink-wrapping, and spring delivery of boats.
Also, for the RV customers, Maxx provides a waste dump station at no additional charge.
Maxx is in its second year of business. Last February it was at 60 percent occupancy and this February is above 90 percent.
‘It’s been great,? Tim said. ‘Mainly due to good service, competitive pricing, the variety of services and word of mouth from our customers. With over 300 satisfied customers, word does spread quickly.?
The 10 acre complex is ready for Phase II of development, including three new buildings totaling 28,000 square feet for nearly 61,000 square feet in all. Some of the new units will be as large as 12-by-40 with roll up doors on each end.
‘The larger units we find are great for contractors to store their materials in,? Tim said. ‘We break ground in the spring.?
Their large open showroom includes a display of a variety of moving and storage supplies including numerous sized boxes, moving kits (prepackaged with boxes, bubble wrap, tape and a utility knife), moving pads, dollies and storage shelves.
For your convenience there is a sample of a full size 10-by-10 foot storage unit in the showroom.
Each customer has their own personal security code to access the property. Customers in need of storage for their businesses may have 24 hour access for inside and outside storage needs.
Maxx has attorneys, doctors, and other businesses using the units for storing their paper records and supplies. Maxx can equip the units with shelves to keep their records neat and organized.
Pick up of the first 100 boxes for these new customers is free.
A room with complementary beverages is provided while reviewing records. Pharmaceutical reps can use the units to store their inventories. Maxx employees can receive deliveries and lock them in the rep’s unit.
‘Families rent the units to keep items they don’t have room for, to store some furnishings and boxes while their homes are on sale and when in transition moving from one home to another,? Tim said.
Maxx also rents moving trucks, trailers and car haulers for local and long distance moves.
‘That’s really taken off for us,? Tim said.
Tim opened the storage business in 2006, with partners Larry Smith and Bill Gutherie. Property management is provided by Pogoda Companies of Farmington Hills.
