Having good signage is a very important part of establishing familiarity with your brand and catching people’s attention.
In this video, we see a new customized monument sign for a storage facility. A nice, large, professional-looking monument sign will cost anywhere between $4,000 and $6,000. It’s worth the investment, because it is the calling card for your business, and if it attracts customers the way it should, then it will all pay off.

BETCO manufactures metal roof panels and wall panels cut to any desired length to fit any metal building need. Recently, we have opened our retail showroom. Here you will find on display our sheds, garages, roll up doors, metal roofing, metal siding and a staff ready to answer any questions you may have.
Be sure to ask about the advantages of Our Cool Roof Technology , our roof panels are coated with AkzoNobel cool metal paints, which contain a high percentage of infrared reflectants. This means that our roof surfaces will reflect up to 70% of solar heat from the roof, as opposed to only 20% reflected from surfaces coated with standard pigmentations.
As a result, roof surface temperatures can be lowered by as much as 38 degrees and energy costs can be reduced as much as 23%.
This Cool Roof technology provides solar reflectance ratings to meet today’s Energy Star requirements.
As important as infrared solar rays being reflected away from a building, is the lowering of interior temperatures. Cool metal roofing can reduce a building’s interior temperature as much as 46 degrees.
We sell direct to homeowners as well as contractors. If you need an installer for your metal roofing we have recommendations there as well.

Many people who are just getting into the self-storage business want to convert an existing building rather than build one from the ground up. In many cases, this situation can be ideal. Starting from the ground up means all-new structure, metal siding, metal trim, metal roofing, and more. Converting a building that is in good condition may be as simple as just installing roll-up doors, hallways and partitions inside the existing building.
The benefits of conversion include:
- Saving costs on major construction and “recycling” the skeleton of the structure for storage units.
- Using the urban or semi-urban location of the building for easy accessibility for customers, which translates to a high volume of potential clients in the surrounding area.
- Being able to get started sooner by cutting down on the overall construction process.
The best buildings for conversion are office buildings, large warehouse spaces, and former retail stores. Obviously, newer buildings are better than older ones, because they are generally in better condition.
Before you decide on a building to convert, take a few things into consideration about the site.
- First, be sure that the building is in good shape. If it is relatively old building, then it is worth doing a full check on the air conditioning and heating systems, as well as the electrical set-up. If the HVAC system needs to be replaced, then it can become a major expense.
- If the building has several stories, then be sure that the elevators are in decent condition.
- Make sure the roof is in good shape. Roofs are incredibly expensive to repair and replace.
If you purchase an existing building with conversion in mind, then get in touch with Betco Inc. for all of your supply and construction needs. We offer a wide range of metal materials and building services, and also can offer tips on how best to set up and construct your converted self-storage facility.
