ABOUT
WHO WE ARE
Design Build Storage LLC was established in March of 2000. We have built a solid reputation in quality construction development within the self-storage industry. This has been achieved through careful selection of viable location sites with a demand for storage. This is the first step in successful project development.
Design Build Storage employs a full time professional staff. This would include a company officer, administrative staff, project designers, project estimators, project managers, jobsite superintendents, and field personnel necessary to complete the goals of our developments.
