Johnson Construction has specialized in self-storage construction since 1998. Family- and veteran-owned, the company has erected more than 21 million square feet for facility owners and developers nationwide. Our work covers ground-up self-storage facilities, active-site expansions, and conversions of existing buildings.
Johnson is the field-construction and erection contractor. Bring your building plans and supplier scope so we can define the installation work and prepare a labor bid. Johnson crews carry connected building systems through field installation. Project scopes can include structural steel erection, metal roofing and wall systems, roll-up doors, hallway systems, siding, trim, gutters, and flashing through completion of the building envelope.

Self-Storage Building Formats
Single-story drive-up storage places units at ground level along vehicle-accessible aisles. Multi-level and climate-controlled facilities concentrate rentable area inside an enclosed vertical building. Boat and RV storage adds larger bays, taller openings, longer spans, and circulation planned around oversized vehicles.
The format changes the structure, envelope, access, and sequence of installation. Johnson Construction works across each format with field crews experienced in the steel and storage systems shown in the construction documents.
Ground-Up Facilities and Expansions
Ground-up self-storage construction begins with a defined building plan and material package. Johnson mobilizes crews and equipment around the site conditions, delivery schedule, staging area, and installation sequence required by the project.
Expansion work adds buildings, unit rows, or interior storage capacity to an existing property. Work at an operating facility is planned around available access, tenant circulation, and the connection between the new construction and the existing buildings.
Steel, Envelope, Doors, and Hallways
Structural steel establishes the building frame and dimensions. Roofing, wall panels, siding, trim, gutters, and flashing close and protect the building envelope. Roll-up doors, partitions, and hallway systems establish the rentable unit layout and tenant circulation.
Keeping those installation scopes connected gives field leadership a complete view of the building as work moves from the delivered material package through the finished facility.
Nationwide Field Operations
Johnson Construction plans field staffing, equipment, deliveries, and material staging around each project. The company has completed construction, expansion, conversion, and service work across the country while maintaining its self-storage specialization.
