Mike Purvis Calls for Greater Discipline in Storage Facility Rebranding

Mike Purvis of Storage Facility Painting Services, LLC in Newark, Delaware urges operators and contractors to prioritise planning, specialisation, and execution.

NEWARK, DE, February 12, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Storage Facility Painting Services, LLC is raising awareness around a growing operational issue in the self-storage industry: the cost of poor planning and non-specialised execution during repainting and rebranding projects.

Founder Mike Purvis, whose company works exclusively with storage facilities nationwide, says many avoidable problems stem from treating complex, active facilities like generic commercial jobs.

"Most failures happen before a crew ever arrives," Purvis said. "If planning is weak, quality and timelines suffer every time."

The issue is becoming more important as the industry grows. The United States now has more than 50,000 self-storage facilities, with new locations and ownership consolidations driving frequent rebranding and refresh cycles. These projects often take place while facilities remain fully operational, increasing the need for careful sequencing, logistics, and coordination.

Purvis argues that speed and quality are not opposing goals. "Speed comes from preparation," he said. "Rushing comes from poor planning. Those are two very different things."

According to industry estimates, rework and schedule overruns cost commercial property owners billions of dollars annually, often due to missed deliveries, unclear scopes, or unrealistic timelines. In painting and exterior maintenance, inadequate preparation remains one of the leading causes of early failure.

Storage Facility Painting Services, LLC was built to address these risks through a narrow focus. The company works only on storage facilities, using defined systems, standard workflows, and disciplined scheduling to reduce disruption and increase consistency across sites.

"Specialisation removes guesswork," Purvis said. "When you understand the asset type, you plan better. When you plan better, everything downstream improves."

Rather than promoting new tools or trends, Purvis advocates for fundamentals: clearer scopes, realistic schedules, and partners who understand the operational constraints of active facilities.

"This industry doesn't need shortcuts," he said. "It needs better decisions made earlier."

Call to Action
Purvis encourages facility owners, operators, and service providers to take practical steps on their own:
Ask detailed questions about planning and sequencing before work begins
Choose partners with direct experience in storage facilities
Build time for preparation into project schedules
Review what caused delays or rework and adjust processes accordingly

"Better outcomes are usually the result of simple changes," Purvis said. "Anyone can raise the standard by slowing down and planning properly."
