It goes without saying that anyone that goes into business, whether it is self storage or not, goes into it with one thing in mind—making money. When the economy is like it is a good business- person will come up with any and every way possible to earn another dollar.
One of the best ways to increase your company’s bottom line can be in decreasing expenditures. Saving energy is a great way to cut costs, however, figuring out how to do so can be the trick for most self storage facilities. Where that can become problematic is when too much gets cut and the customer’s experience is affected in a negative way.
The trick may not necessarily be in cutting corners, but in reducing your overall output. After all, if you are not using it than there is nothing to be cut!
With a properly designed roof the costs for maintaining a climate controlled self storage facility can be greatly reduced. A properly designed roof with the right attributes can help reduce costs by reducing the need for continuous energy output to maintain the climate. As with many things, if you do not know than you either have to find out or pay someone to do the work for you.
The trick here can be in figuring out if working on the roofing of your facility is a task you are up to or one you need to hire a professional for. To help with that dilemma the people at D.C. Taylor Co Roofing Services will be hosting an informative webinar on Nov 17, 2010 titled: Climate-Controlled Facilities: Get Immediate Energy Savings When Replacing Your Roof. Among the topics to be covered include how to calculate energy savings, common problems and causes, whether a metal retrofit could work for you, and whether or not it is imperative you hire a professional to work on your roofing needs.
The webinar is part of an ongoing series that the company is doing called the Mini Storage Messenger Self Storage Webinar Series. D.C. Taylor Co. has been at work for more than 60 years providing roofing solutions to the self storage industry.
To register for the free live event or get more information you can go to www.ministoragemessenger.com; registration will be required for those that do plan on attending.
