Rent or buy in Rochester?

Under ~6 months: rent. A season of jobsite storage or a renovation costs a few hundred dollars in rent, with no resale hassle at the end.

Past ~12 months: buy. A year of 20ft rent ($1,140–$2,400, plus delivery and pickup) roughly equals the delivered price of a used wind & watertight 20ft ($1,400–$3,200) — and with a purchase, you keep the box.

Rochester has fewer in-city yards than Buffalo. Several national sellers serve Rochester from the Newark and Cleveland depots, which pushes delivered prices toward the upper half of the national range — the truck ride is part of your price.

Because many Rochester deliveries come from out-of-area depots, always compare DELIVERED quotes, not box prices. A cheaper container from a far depot can cost more on your driveway than a pricier local one.
