  • Can Okeechobee Storage Solutions construct a building on site?

    No. All of our building are delivered fully assembled to our customer’s site. By building our products in a manufactoring environment, we are able to better control our costs and deliver a very high quaility, durable building at an affordable price.

  • Are all of your building available for rent-to-own?

    All of the standard buildings are available for rent-to-own. There are situations in which a customized building can require paying cash. Also, if a customer wants to modify the construction of their building or paint it, then it must be a cash purchase. Typically, though, you can add a wide variety of available options, such as six windows, or three doors. The type and size of building is a factor. We will happily consider every request on an individual basis. Call our sales number or contact your local dealer for additional information.

  • Can buildings be customized beyond the standard options that are offered?

    As a general rule, most of our customization takes the form of our standard options. However, if you have a request that cannot be addressed with our available options, we encourage you to call us with your requirements. We can discuss the request with our builders and see if the modification is feasible and cost effective as a custom order.

  • What type of building foundation is required?

    A reasonably flat (as opposed to level) area is required- our delivery guys will level the buidling to the existing terrain. The building does not need any additional foundation work such as gravel or concrete. We can certainly place the building on these foundations, however, they are not required for installation.

  • Why is the lead time three to six weeks?

    The lead time allows us to construct the building, apply caulking and paint with adequate drying time, apply roofing shingles and work around any weather concerns that may affect the safe delivery of the finished product.

  • What is included in the installation?

    The installation includes placing and leveling the building on site. We do not remove obstacles or provide ground leveling services. The buildings are leveled to the terrain with treated wood blocks. If you prefer, you can supply 16“x16”x2” solid concrete pavers (1 block for every 4 perimeter feet) to use in place of the treated wood blocks. these must be on site at the time of the installation.
