Commercial Storage

Orton Companies builds commercial storage buildings in Minnesota for contractors, distributors, and businesses that need secure, dry space — not a retail storefront. We design post-frame storage with the doors, security, and insulation level your inventory actually needs.

Who we build this for

Trades, e-commerce overflow, and companies paying for off-site units or leaving materials in trailers through a Minnesota winter.

What we offer

• Secure doors and lighting
• Cold, tempered, or conditioned storage
• Rack-aware clear heights
• Fleet or trailer parking nearby
• Office or parts-counter nooks
• Fast enclosure so inventory moves out of the weather

How we build it

We spec the building to the inventory: moisture, theft risk, and forklift paths. Post-frame commercial storage typically encloses faster than a full warehouse.

The process

1. 01

   Your site and how you will use it

   Orton Companies walks the property, maps access, drainage, and utilities, and locks how you will use the building so it fits Minnesota code and your daily work.

2. 02

   Design and materials

   We produce a clear layout, how the building will look from the street, and a steel-and-timber package sized for snow load, wind, and the way you will actually use the space.

3. 03

   Construction

   A licensed crew sets posts or frame, encloses the shell, and finishes doors, roof, and interiors on a schedule built for Minnesota seasons.

4. 04

   Walkthrough

   You walk the finished building with us, we close the punch list, and you get a space ready for equipment, animals, customers, or living — from the same team that designed it.
