We started Get Totely because of one thing we kept seeing at move-in cleans

Our sister business did a move-in clean last fall for a family coming into a house off Williamson Road. They were exhausted before we even got there.

Not because the move itself was hard. Because of the boxes.

The week before, they had driven all over Roanoke trying to source enough cardboard to pack a three-bedroom house. Liquor store boxes. U-Haul boxes. Boxes their neighbor had been saving from Amazon deliveries for six months. They taped them, labeled them, loaded them. And then on moving day, after everything was unloaded, they had to figure out what to do with all of it. Break it down. Stack it. Find someone to take it.

The Cleaner Connector team was there to make the new place feel like home. But the family was still untangling the cardboard chaos when we arrived.

That moment stuck.

We Had Seen This Before

Move-in and move-out cleans are some of the most common jobs the Cleaner Connector takes in the Roanoke Valley. Families relocating for Virginia Tech. Renters turning over apartments in downtown Roanoke. Homeowners handing off a house after 20 years on the same street in Southwest.

Every single time, the most stressed clients were the ones who had spent the week before their move managing cardboard.

It sounds like a small thing. It isn’t. The cardboard scramble costs time, money, and mental energy at exactly the moment you have none to spare. You’re coordinating movers, forwarding mail, setting up utilities, managing kids or pets, and also somehow supposed to find 80 boxes that don’t have the bottom fall out when you pick them up.

We started asking: is anyone solving this in Roanoke?

Nobody was.

Not in the NRV. Not in Blacksburg. Not in the Charlottesville corridor. Nobody was offering a simple, local, reusable tote rental service built around the way people in southwest Virginia actually move.

So We Built Reusable Moving Totes for Roanoke

Get Totely is a reusable moving tote rental service started right here in Roanoke, Virginia. The idea is straightforward: we deliver clean, stackable totes to your door before your move. You pack them. You move. We pick them up after.

No sourcing boxes. No tape on the bottom hoping it holds. No breaking down cardboard in a new living room when you’re already running on fumes. The totes show up, do their job, and disappear.

We built Get Totely as a companion to what we were already doing at Cleaner Connector. Because the families we were meeting at move-in cleans didn’t need another thing to manage. They needed one less thing. And a moving tote rental service is exactly that: one less thing, handled.

Why Local Matters Here

There are national box rental companies. They exist. But they’re built for a certain scale and a certain customer, and they don’t know Roanoke. They don’t know that you’re moving across town, not across the country. They don’t know the Roanoke Valley the way a business started here does.

We know the moves people in this area are actually making. The apartment in Grandin Village to a first house in Hollins. The rental in Christiansburg to something closer to downtown Blacksburg. The house in Salem to a place in the NRV near family.

These are local moves. Short distances. Real logistics. And they deserve a local solution.

If You’ve Got a Move Coming Up

Whether you’re moving across Roanoke or out toward Charlottesville or down into the New River Valley, Get Totely can handle the totes so you can handle everything else.
