Often times, their offices are barely big enough to hold the office staff and crew, let alone all the equipment and supplies that a painting company needs to do its job. This is where self storage can make perfect sense for a painting contractor.<\/p>\n<h2><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">How Painting Contractors Can Benefit from Self Storage<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Painting companies can use self storage facilities as a staging area for big jobs. Climate controlled storage units are great for keeping paint fresh in extreme climates. Some companies even utlize several self storage units in their area to better service different parts of town. Shorter trips means getting the job done faster, which is great for the client and the painting contractor.<\/p>\n<p>Even a smaller 5&#8217;x7.5&#8242; storage unit is roomy enough to store paint supplies such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Paint cans and 5-gallon tubs<\/li>\n<li>Rollers, brushes and extension rods<\/li>\n<li>Spray painters<\/li>\n<li>Ladders and step stools<\/li>\n<li>Tarps<\/li>\n<li>Tape<\/li>\n<li>Cleaning supplies<\/li>\n<li>Paint thinner<\/li>\n<li>Wood Stains<\/li>\n<li>Spackle and wall repair items<\/li>\n<li>Standard repair tools<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you run a painting company, consider taking advantage of self storage facilities to help your business run more smoothly.<\/p>\n<p><em>Are you a painting company or contractor that uses self storage?
