In 1961, Ralph Bouma started with one truck delivering Grand Rapids made, new furniture and moving local household goods. As years progressed the business was expanded into a world-wide moving company affiliated with United Van Lines. Ralph visioned how necessary and parallel self-storage would be in demand with the moving services. In 1977, our first self-storage building was constructed (the first in the area) and continued expanding with a total of 10 buildings (cement block & standing seam roofs) in Comstock Park, on 8 acres along 131, just north of I-96.

In 1990 another facility was purchased at 5241 Plainfield N.E., with an office building and four self-storage buildings. As years progressed, climate controlled storage was in demand of which the lower-level of the office building was converted into state-of-the-art climate controlled units.

Security has always been the utmost importance at Bouma Self-Storage which includes touch-key pad entry, vertical computerized access security gate, infra-red beams around the entire premises, and colored digital security cameras.

As of today, Bouma has a total of 600 basic self-storage units, climate-controlled units, office suites, multiple outside R.V. parking and mobile self-storage containers (PODS).
