Thank you for Subscribing to Construction Business Review Weekly Brief
Weston Leibee, VP & General ManagerLiberty Storage Solutions has excelled in offering living spaces for their customers through the years. From concept to delivery, there are multiple features that place the company at the top of the modular industry.
At the beginning of the process, Liberty Storage provides a building configurator on their website that allows customers to build their ideal unit. They can choose from a wide variety of designs, sizes, practical functionalities, and aesthetic preferences, like siding colors, porch elements and even cupolas. In addition they receive their shed design by email which includes line-item pricing so customers can design within their budget. The customer can view what the building would look like in their backyard through an augmented reality feature. The timing, price and flexibility in this part of the planning stage is far superior than traditional home construction planning.
Liberty Storage Solutions also stands out because they do not shy away from utilizing top-of-the-line building supplies. What may be an upgrade through other companies come standard at Liberty. Most importantly, the company is known for their outstanding quality that can be attributed to the builders who are true craftsmen with years of experience. The builders construct the units in one of their manufacturing facilities and then are delivered directly to the customer’s doorsteps, bringing speed and portability to the process.
Knowing that customers will likely still go through their local permit approval process, Liberty has also taken measures to ensure the units have been certified with engineered stamped plans. This means that customers are getting a superb foundation and starting point for customers to then finish out the interior and landscaping as desired.
This story highlights the utility of Liberty Storage’s buildings and emphasizes the modularity and customizability. It is fascinating to think this massive business was born from a hobby of founder, Bobby Eaton. In 2006, Eaton decided to take on a side hustle to kill time during the winter and rainy seasons. What started as a hobby for his family back then stands tall as a bedrock of quality and is still rooted in family traditions.
One of the noteworthy takeaways of this construction model is the time taken to deliver the finished product to the customer. Weston Leibee, VP & General Manager of the company, says that they could deliver a customized unit in as little as four weeks. It they choose a building already in stock, delivery could be as little as a week. The modularity of this nature allowed one of Liberty Storage Solutions’ clients to use their building as the foundation for a recreational facility. The client owned a property in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina and wanted to build an Airbnb getaway.
“They purchased one of our buildings, uniquely designed to accommodate 3-4 people, and installed it by a creek in the mountains. They took this unit and customized it by hiring a local carpenter to install mountain-style finishing woodwork and plumbing. With landscaping completed, it took just a couple of months to have this unit set up as the perfect mountain getaway for their Airbnb guests,” explains Leibee.

While the company’s niche is solving customers’ storage and living space needs through innovative buildings, their purpose is bigger than that. Whether it is employees, customers, or even vendors, their purpose is to empower people through these relationships to live whole lives with excellence and fulfillment. They continue to impact the community as they head into further expansion. Leibee says that the company has procured unused industrial land in Mocksville to create even more employment for the community by enlarging its facility, thereby upholding its strong sense of community-driven prosperity.
