Meet NextGen Surface Care

The business behind the growth.

Eduardo Ramos was chasing his own success around a storage facility, with unit 47 for the grinders, unit 23 for the chemicals, and more scattered across the building. When theft hit one unit and cost him thousands, Eduardo knew scattered storage wasn't just inefficient, it was dangerous. At WareSpace, he found the infrastructure and professional environment that transformed NextGen Surface Care from a side hustle into a legitimate operation.

Before WareSpace

The storage-unit shuffle

What started as one storage unit had multiplied to four separate locations in the same building, an expensive, inefficient setup. Facilities closed at set hours, units had no power to charge tools, and no climate control put specialized chemicals at risk.

The security concerns proved justified when thieves broke into one unit and stole thousands of dollars of equipment.

“We had one unit where we actually got broken into. And we lost several thousands of dollars because of that. So we don't have that concern at WareSpace. Because you've got to go through multiple layers of security.”
Eduardo Ramos, NextGen Surface Care

Making the Switch

Finding professional space

Location was the initial draw, centrally located near highways and in the middle of his client base, but what sealed the deal was everything his storage units lacked: 24/7 access, climate control, power in every unit, and multiple layers of security.

All-inclusive pricing meant no surprise bills, and the professional environment gave the business the credibility it needed to grow.

Where They Are Now

Scaling made simple

No more racing to storage units before closing, no more theft worries, no more juggling four locations. Within a year and a half, Eduardo upgraded to a larger unit, then again to a space with a private dock.

The professional environment opened new doors with both clients and lenders, who see a legitimate business location rather than scattered storage.

“So once we moved into WareSpace, we noticed an instantaneous growth and smoothness of operations. We didn't have to worry anymore about late hours.”
Eduardo Ramos, NextGen Surface Care

Community and security

What contractors should look for in a secure warehouse space

After a break-in at his old storage facility, security stayed high on Eduardo's list. At WareSpace he went a step further and added his own extra layer of security inside his individual unit, on top of the building's.

What he values most is the community. Tenants work as a team: they help each other out, talk to each other, greet each other, and watch each other's backs.

“Everybody's about teamwork. Everybody about helping each other out, talk to each other, you greet each other, and you kind of watch for each other's back.”
Eduardo Ramos, NextGen Surface Care

His advice to other owners is direct. If you want security, convenience, easy access to the highways, and a clean, friendly environment, he calls it a must-have. He adds that it is the place for anyone looking for people who will really take care of them, and he plans to stay much longer.
