## About

### Houzz Badges

- Recommended on Houzz
- 1,000 Ideabook Saves

Back in October of 2011, I was reading an edition of “Entrepreneur” magazine, about a product called Monkey Bars. I was intrigued and bought them to replace the wooden brackets I had installed in my construction trailer. The rack and hook system, the versatility and durability were so impressive that I decided to look into becoming a dealer.

Our Columbia based business began with a pickup truck, custom-fitted trailer, and a rental storage unit. After completing training by Monkey Bars staff, we launched a marketing campaign and contracted an exhibit booth at the Carolina Home and Garden Show. The show was an outstanding success and the beginning of a great first year.

As our business quickly expanded, we moved to our new warehouse and added other products to our list of storage solutions. Our staff includes close relatives as well as professional installers that we treat like family. We are a family business based in the Columbia area and are proud to service the eight surrounding counties. We take pride in every custom storage solution that we build. We guarantee satisfaction and go the extra mile to ensure that our customers are pleased with our work. We finish the job by putting up and hanging your items before we leave. We strive to get everything possible off the floor.

Our residential and our commercial clients rely on us to help them maximize their storage space. They know that we use top quality materials and provide precise workmanship."

**★★★★★ — jmuha3, Feb. 2017**

> Dependable, honest, family run, hard workers, sketched out design, developed scaled plans, made changes based on feedback and delivered on time and on budget.  Great fabricators, detailed oriented, and immediate follow up. I would recommend to anyone looking to upgrade/organize garage.

**★★★★★ — Van Wells, Feb. 2017**

> Phil and Midlands Storage System team did a fine job. We refinished a storage room at our lake home, Phil came out, listened, offered advise, placed the order and installed. We liked his work so much we did a second order with more storage shelves. See pictures! Impressive..

**★★★★★ — Josh Daniels, Feb. 2017**

> Phil and the rest of his team did an excellent job on installing our Monkey Bar system.  The product is fantastic and their service was even better!

**★★★★★ — krberts, Feb. 2017**

> We are very pleased with the epoxy flooring they did in our garage. The guys were super nice and the product they use is holding up great. Would definitely use them again and confidently refer them.

**★★★★★ — R Richmond, Feb. 2017**

> Midlands Storage did a great job resurfacing our garage floor. They were very meticulous and professional in the prep work and putting down the new coating. I would definitely use them again. The only thing I would do differently would be to choose a darker background color. We chose a creamy white background which shows dirt too easily, but that's my fault.

**★★★★★ — Maggie Nolting, Jan. 2017**

> We hired this company to outfit our garage before we moved into our new home. Midlands did an outstanding job of designing a system that stored all of our things and was able to fit both cars. The garage is very small and we have no basement or attic. So, this was very important to us. The floor covering in a sparkling black, grey and white was the finishing touch. We feel like we have an extra room to our house.

**★★★★★ — Executive Construction Homes, Jan. 2015**

> Midlands Storage Systems installed The Monkey Bar System in our Parade of Homes house, which proved to be a winner to the Columbia people who visited in December 2014. We received many compliments and sold the home in less than 30 days. The company is a joy to work with and is recomended highly.
