A home renovation porta potty runs 100 to 350 dollars a day or 200 to 325 dollars a month in Minneapolis, depending on unit type and rental length. Most remodel crews rent a standard unit by the month since jobs run long. Minneapolis Porta Pros delivers within days of your call.
Kitchen and bath jobs usually run three to eight weeks. A full gut renovation can stretch past two months, so a monthly rate makes more sense than paying daily. Check current porta potty rental cost figures before you commit, or compare monthly porta potty rental pricing against a week-to-week plan if the timeline is fuzzy.
If your contractor pulled a permit and inspections are spaced out, a standard porta potty rental with weekly service covers most single-family jobs. Some homeowners in Minneapolis skip the big-box aisle and the "home depot porta potty rental" search entirely once they realize a dedicated rental company delivers, services weekly, and picks up on schedule. A unit holds a 60 to 70 gallon tank, and under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 the baseline service interval is once a week for up to 10 users over a standard workweek, which fits a two or three person crew easily.
For projects with a finished basement or an addition, you might also need a temporary fence for rental home sites, especially if the property sits empty during construction and the city wants the yard secured. A chain link temporary fence around a dumpster or material staging area keeps neighbors and kids out. Ask about temporary fence cost when you book the toilet so delivery can happen in one trip.
Yes. Homeowners rent portable toilets for renovations, septic failures, backyard events and even short-term living situations without invoking any commercial-site rule. A "porta potty for home use" order is one of the most common calls we get, and it works the same as a job-site rental: we drop it, we service it, we pick it up.
If your home's septic system is the reason you need a temporary toilet, that is a separate but related problem. A tank backing up mid-renovation is common when trenching or new plumbing disturbs old lines. Home septic tank cleaning through septic pumping service or septic tank cleaning clears the system so you are not renting a toilet indefinitely. A typical residential tank gets pumped every 3 to 5 years depending on tank size and household size, and if yours is overdue, check septic tank warning signs before the toilet becomes permanent. Pricing sits in the septic tank pumping cost range, and a holding tank rental can bridge the gap if the system needs repair work first.
Renovation debris also has to go somewhere. Most remodels pair a toilet with a roll-off dumpster rental, and a 10 yard dumpster rental handles a bathroom gut without crowding the driveway. Larger jobs, like a whole-house strip-out, often need a 20 yard dumpster rental instead. Check dumpster weight limits and what cannot go in a dumpster before you fill it, since drywall and shingles add weight fast.
A vacant rental home mid-renovation is a target for scrappers and squatters, which is why landlords often add fencing and a locked storage container to the same order. A home storage container rental keeps tools and fixtures secure between visits, and a storage container rental delivered on the same truck as the toilet saves a second trip. A 20ft storage container fits most single-family jobs; larger flips may need a 40ft storage container.
Some contractors go further and park a mobile office trailer rental on site for a longer project, and a few clients have even asked about converting a mobile office trailer to a home for temporary living during a rebuild. That is a real use case worth discussing directly with our office rather than guessing at code compliance over the phone.
Displacement situations come up too. If a family is between homes after a fire or flood, a homeless shower trailer or mobile shower trailer for homeless use is sometimes arranged through local relief efforts. A shower trailer rental or restroom trailer rental can serve a household for a few weeks while repairs finish, and disaster relief sanitation covers that scenario in more detail. Under OSHA 1926.51(c), one toilet facility covers crews of 20 or fewer on a job site, a useful baseline even for a homeowner deciding whether one unit is enough.
Anyone searching "portable toilet for home near me" in St. Louis Park, 8.0 miles west of Minneapolis, or Richfield, 8.1 miles south, gets the same delivery window we run inside city limits. Roseville sits 9.0 miles northeast and falls in the same service radius.
| unit | day | week | month |
|---|---|---|---|
| standard | 100-350 | 130-500 | 125-325 |
| deluxe | 85-1200 | 150-290 | -- |
Most homeowners land in the standard range. A deluxe flushable unit costs more but suits a longer remodel where comfort matters; see deluxe flushable porta potty for details.
Placement on your own property usually does not need a permit, but placement in the public right of way, like a boulevard or street edge, needs confirming with the city. Check porta potty permit requirements before delivery day.
