A home renovation porta potty runs 100 to 350 dollars a day or 200 to 325 dollars for the month, and most Providence homeowners searching for a portable toilet for home near me rent a standard unit for the length of the job instead of paying by the day. Kitchen guts, additions and roof tear-offs all qualify. Delivery and pickup are billed separately.
You pick a spot, we deliver, the crew uses it, we service it and haul it away when the job's done. That's the whole thing. A standard porta potty rental holds 60 to 70 gallons and stands about 92 inches tall, so it needs a spot with headroom and flat ground, not a slope. Most Providence driveways and side yards work fine. If your crew is small, ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets the baseline service interval at once a week for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, which covers a typical renovation crew without extra visits.
If the job also needs power tools running off an extension cord, some homeowners add a temporary power pole at the same time. Bigger renovations, especially additions or full guts, usually pair the toilet with a roll-off dumpster rental for debris, and a 10 yard dumpster rental covers most single-room jobs. If the crew is doing exterior paint or applying coatings, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities for that specific work, so a handwashing station rental belongs on site too. For general sanitation, OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the toilet ratio construction crews follow: one facility for 20 workers or fewer. A home crew rarely hits that number, but the standard is the same one commercial sites use.
Homeowners doing a rental-property flip in Pawtucket, 5.1 miles northeast of Providence, or in Cranston, 8.7 miles southwest, ask us the same questions renovation contractors do: where does it go, how often is it serviced, what happens if the property is vacant, and whether a temporary fence for rental house sites needs to go up before the toilet does. We treat a vacant rental the same as an occupied home. It still gets weekly service.
Set it away from doors, windows and the property line, on a surface that can take the weight, and somewhere the truck can reach for service. A porta potty placement guide walks through spacing in more detail, but the short version for a Providence job site is: driveway pads, gravel pads and side yards all work if they're level.
Renovating a rental home often means the tenant is gone and the fence line matters more, not less. A temporary fence for rental home projects, set up through our temporary fence rental service, keeps neighbors and passersby out of an active job, and a chain link temporary fence is the standard choice for a residential lot. If the property backs up to a sidewalk or shared driveway, placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before delivery. We can talk through that when you call. Some landlords fencing a full renovation also rent a home storage container rental through our storage container rental service for tools and materials between crew visits, and a 20ft option covers most single-family jobs without crowding the lot. None of this requires a Home Depot porta potty rental counter trip. We deliver directly to the address and handle pickup the same way.
Depends on the scope. A kitchen or bath remodel usually just needs the toilet and maybe a dumpster. A full gut, an addition, or a job displacing residents starts to need more. Some renovation and disaster-relief situations call for a shower trailer rental when a house has no working bathroom for weeks, which is the same equipment used as a homeless shower trailer for shelter and temporary housing situations elsewhere in the state. It is not exclusive to disaster work. A family staying in a partially renovated Providence home during a long addition project has used the same unit.
If the renovation involves converting a garage, barn or even a mobile office trailer converted to home use, an ADA accessible porta potty may be worth adding if anyone on site has mobility needs. ADA Standards 213.2 requires that at least 5 percent of clustered single-user units be accessible, with a minimum of one, and ADA Standards 405.2 caps ramp slope at 1:12 if you're building a temporary ramp to the door. On the septic side, a home undergoing major renovation with an older tank should schedule a home septic tank cleaning through our septic tank cleaning service before construction traffic and added water use stress the system. A typical residential septic tank gets pumped every 3 to 5 years depending on tank size and household size, and a septic pumping service can check where your tank stands in that cycle. For homeowners near Attleboro, 11.0 miles northeast of Providence, or East Providence, 4.8 miles southeast, the same crews and trucks cover both sides of the state line.
As long as the job takes. Day, week and month rates all exist, and a monthly porta potty rental is usually cheaper per day than paying daily once a job runs past two or three weeks. Most renovation rentals in Providence land in the month range.
Sometimes, depending on placement. Units set fully on private property, like a driveway or backyard, typically don't trigger the same review as commercial sites. Check our porta potty permit requirements page, and confirm right-of-way placement with the city directly since that rule varies by exact location.
Only with confirmation from the city first. Curb and right-of-way placement is not something we can guarantee is allowed without checking, so we treat this case by case and recommend confirming before delivery day.
A standard porta potty rental covers almost every home renovation crew, since most crews stay under 10 workers. Larger crews or multi-week jobs sometimes add a deluxe flushable porta potty for more comfort during a long project.
Delivery is billed separately from the unit and falls in its own price band depending on timing and distance. Ask for a combined quote through request a quote so you see delivery and rental together before booking.
