We rented for three years from Big Jim's, Lakewood Ranch in hope of making Florida our home. We…read morenever did move so decided to donate items. I originally went to unit on 5/7 and talked to Gracie, she said Sharon will be back on Monday 5/11 and will call me. I didn't hear from her so on Monday around noon I called her. Sharon (Manager) SAID NO ONE TAKES BEDS AND THERE IS A 350.00 DUMPING FEE. She wanted me to sign abandoned paperwork on the unit. Guess what I found a Charity and they came and took everything on 5/19. My billing went from 5/15-6/14, and they charged me my monthly rate of 158.00.(3 days) Over 3 years Big Jims has made a small fortune off of us $5688.00. but still took their 158.00. I tried reaching out to their Corporate office listed in SARASOTA FLORIDA, 941) 379-8470 (Primary Corporate & Sarasota Line) phone number disconnected. Good Luck people, Shame on Big Jims! Thank you Donna C

We truly know storage, how to analyze-find quality…read morestorage for we had storage outside Boston 4 years, fifteen years ago and South of Minneapolis in Burnsville, Mn for 18 years/ just moved all 6000 cu ft to St Michael north of Minneapolis end May. Joe's family has owned this property for 22 years. Family owned storage facilities are the VERY best especially if professionally impeccably run like Sawyer. I rented from Public storage until this year in Minnesota - - they raised my rent 50 % in May to $1500 a month for 2 thirty foot deep temp controlled units after being a loyal customer for 18 years!!! 4 years ago the top middle and local management throughout Public Storage that had worked for years, suddenly ALL quit in 2-3 months, and then rental rates sky rocketed each year. This is happening nationally with all giant corporate storage companies! I now will ONLY use top quality local regional family owned storage companies. This facility originally was an ice skating rink then a post office. They retrofitted it into a spotless, perfectly lit, very very well air conditioned/ fully temperature controlled medium sized facility. The front door slim door mounted security key pad is very easy to use. We have been coming to Sarasota visiting in-laws for 35 years and never knew this building and street existed. It is very nicely tucked away hidden off two quiet small roads. Security outside and inside are excellent and someone is in the office/ facility daily 9-5, saturdays 9-12. I feel 100 % secure here coming solo ( over age 70). Location is excellent if you live in Osprey, Sarasota, Siesta Key, Downtown Sarasota and worth the drive if you live in Longboat Key. Enjoy!

He helped me the night I moved my stuff in and when I was at the wrong storage facility next door, he guided me, and we laughed about it later! I had a problem with my door code and he fixed it quickly. He is a phone call away! Never had any issues there in the 2 years I used them! I would refer anyone to them. I went there all hours and always felt safe. Great value compared to some other places I called around town too!!

My sister in-law was visiting me at the time. She has had bad experiences with movers in her past. When Palermo movers came, it was like watching a performance in VegasThe men ran around my couches using their large packing tape and just made it feel fun watching them. They did a great job packing up and loading my furniture in a pod truck, preparing for my move. The employees were responsible, fun loving and extremely competent. Their price was fair.

They were very professional, punctual and prepared a detailed contract including charges, and schedule that fit our need. His crew was extremely polite, experienced, very careful in handling art pieces and worked extra hard to complete the packing and loading ahead of the schedule. Susan, the office manager, was most pleasant and accommodating to deal with. There was some delay on the other side due to truck breakdown, but the company addressed the issue, and the unpacking was very efficient. We highly this company for your moving needs.
