Family-Run Business Since 1994

I-Deal Self Storage is a locally owned, family run business. Established in 1994 with an entrepreneurial dream by local Willis (Bill) Hilker who was born and raised in Caroline. Bill Hilker passed away in 2020 and in 2022 his grandson Adam Hilker and wife Danielle Hilker bought the family business.

Adam and Danielle Hilker were both born and raised in the outskirts of Ithaca and currently own and operate the business together. They have 6 children and a homestead farm located in Caroline, NY.
