Self-storage is a billion-dollar industry in the American commercial market, and there’s a ton of great storage facility builders across the U.S.. It is the sixth-largest publicly traded sector in the country, with 47,539 storage facilities nationwide by the end of 2019. Storage companies are useful for a wide range of clients—from residential movers to businesses looking to stockpile merchandise. Typical storage companies offer various storage facility sizes—from 5 x 10 foot units, which are the size of a walk-in closets, to 20 x 20 foot units as big as two-car garages, which are usually reserved for vehicles.

This list features the best storage facility builders in the United States. These builders were selected and ranked based on their portfolio quality, company history, awards, accreditations, the background of their principals, and client reviews. Most of the projects highlighted in this list are multi-story structures with climate-controlled facilities.

If you are thinking about building a storage facility, we recommend checking each builder’s license with the local licensing board, speaking to past clients, and using our bidding system to get competitive quotes from at least 3 contractors. Getting multiple bids is the best way to ensure you get a fair price and that bids include the complete scope of work.
