You might not imagine that self-storage buildings, typically built of concrete and steel, can be aesthetically competitive with other commercial properties. But as the preceding photos demonstrate, the storage industry is maturing from a design standpoint. This transformation not only pleases planning boards of local governments, it appeals to the community residents and businesses that form a storage facility's customer base. Brick veneer, colored roofing, rich landscaping, wood siding, glossy hallway systems, masonry texture finishes ... all of these elements and more are becoming common design elements in storage projects.

So whether you're looking to build a new self-storage facility or renovate an existing one, keep these fantastic possibilties in mind. No more must self-storage be considered a blight on the community landscape. Today's building suppliers and project designers can help you exceed all local expectations and create a business that shines.
