Steel Buildings are for Neat Freaks

Steel Buildings are for Neat Freaks

Do you consider yourself a neat freak? Do you have a low tolerance for clutter? Is your attic and basement packed to the brim with decorations, old clothes, and mementos of the past? Would you love to retain things for sentimental and practical value but would love to rid them from your immediate sight? A steel building is a product just for you.

Steel buildings act as your own personal storage facility. Commercial storage is growing in popularity, yet it can be inconvenient to travel to and from the facility. In addition, monthly fees become just another bill eating away at your income. Steel buildings are a practical and economical solution for you.

People often try to find ready solutions. It is not uncommon to designate a portion or an area in its entirety to storage. People, who once had a spacious basement, attic, or garage, may now find themselves with spaces overflowing with stuff that has accumulated over the years. How do you feel about paying rent or mortgage for rooms that merely house your stuff? Don’t you feel like you can better utilize the space? Take action and get yourself a steel building; it can fit right in the backyard. You won’t have to travel far to get your items when you need them.

Are you a mom or dad that loves your children, yet can’t stand to see toys cluttering every room in the house? Turn a steel building into a huge toy chest. Keep all of your children’s toys out of the way until kids want to use them. This way, kids stay satisfied and you can maintain order and your sanity.

Steel buildings are a great solution for neat freaks. Talk to one of our representatives today about our huge selection of models. We guarantee we have something that is perfect for you.

How to Choose Your Storage Shed

Do you find yourself in need of more space within your house and garage?  Over the years, people acquire more stuff while the room to accommodate all of it lessens.  What do you do when there is no more room in the attic, garage, basement, closet, etc.?  Many people decide to implement a storage shed in their backyard.  Storage sheds are economical and versatile storage solutions.

To begin, think about the size of your storage shed.  How much space can you afford to use in your yard?  We often urge people to think about a particular size and then go a little bigger.  Going bigger is better because it provides you with more options and storage space.  If you have the room, choose a larger-sized storage shed.

Discuss placement with us.  Solid and level ground is optimal, but there are other considerations such as convenience and the avoidance of obstructing views.  We want you to be happy with your storage shed, but it is best practice to discuss your wishes with us in order for the best end result.

What are you going to keep in your storage shed?  There are many things to place in a shed, but for your convenience, think about the entryway.  For instance, if you are keeping a large mower or motor bike in your shed, double doors or an extra-wide entryway may be optimal.  If you are only storing small items, then a normal-sized door is good enough.

Would you like electricity in your storage shed?  Talk to us about your plans.  The option of electricity is always good.  At some point, you may want to use the space as a small office situated with a computer and printer.  In this case, electricity is needed.

Do you want light in your storage shed?  If you are going to use the space as a work area, then an outside view is a good decision.  We have a number of sheds with windows.  In addition, we can discuss customized plans to build a shed to your exact wishes.

We have introduced a number of questions to get you to think about and envision your storage shed.  It is best practice to discuss your wishes with us and let us help you design or choose a shed that will serve you best.

Contact us to discuss plans or available models.  We have been doing this a long time and pride ourselves on providing customer satisfaction!  Don’t continue to put up with a lack of space, start planning for a storage shed today!

Necessary Information Regarding a Storage Shed Purchase

We want to provide our customers with the best products and service possible.  In order to do so, we urge our clients to read the following information about a storage shed or carport purchase.

Survey the land mass where you would like your storage shed situated.  If the ground is not completely leveled then you may experience dissatisfaction.  A labor charge will be implemented if the crew has to do additional work aside from what is agreed upon before the first work day.

Let the work crew know about wires, gas lines, or utility lines that may exist underneath the ground near or on the work area.  Our installers are not responsible for any damages if they are unaware of underground objects and obstacles.

We do instate a return trip fee if our installers return to upgrade your storage shed or carport.  The total cost must be a minimum of $795.00 or there will be a $50.00 return trip fee added.

A deposit is warranted on your storage shed or carport when ordered.  If 100% financing was established then there is no deposit required.

The total balance of your storage shed or carport is required at the time of installation.  If your product is financed, the dealer will address the balance after installation.

We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, money orders, checks, or cash at the time of installation.

There is no refund policy on storage sheds or carports which are specially ordered.

The frame of your storage shed or carport will be one foot shorter than the roof in length. This is to prevent rain from coming in the end of your product.
