NextGen Surface Care at a glance:
THE PROBLEM
Four scattered storage units, limited access hours, theft concerns, no power or climate control
THE SOLUTION
All-inclusive warehouse space with 24/7 access, climate control, security, and shared equipment
RESULTS: 3x growth
Streamlined operations, professional credibility, business growth requiring unit upgrades
Eduardo Ramos was living every entrepreneur’s dream and nightmare simultaneously. His weekend marble restoration side hustle had exploded into a full-time business so fast that he was literally chasing his own success around a storage facility—unit #47 for the grinders, unit #23 for the chemicals, unit #15 for the polishers, and unit #8 for everything else that didn’t fit.
When theft hit one of his units and cost him thousands in equipment, Eduardo knew scattered storage wasn’t just inefficient—it was dangerous. At WareSpace, he found more than consolidated space: he discovered the infrastructure and professional environment that transformed NextGen Surface Care from a side hustle into a legitimate operation.

The Storage Unit Shuffle
Eduardo’s marble restoration business had grown beyond his wildest expectations, but success came with serious growing pains. What started as one storage unit had multiplied to four separate locations within the same building—an expensive, inefficient setup that created daily headaches.
The problems went beyond just inconvenience. Storage facilities closed at specific hours, limiting when he could access equipment. There was no power in the units, so he couldn’t charge tools. No climate control meant his specialized chemicals and products were at risk. And the security concerns proved justified when thieves broke into one unit and stole thousands of dollars worth of equipment.
The final straw was the environment itself—homeless individuals living in units, poor security oversight, and a general atmosphere that made business owners uncomfortable and ultimately drove many away.

“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.”

When Eduardo discovered WareSpace, location was initially the 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.
The all-inclusive pricing meant no surprise bills, and the professional environment gave his business the credibility it needed to grow.

The transformation was immediate. No more racing to storage units before closing time. No more worrying about equipment theft. No more juggling four different locations for a single operation.
Eduardo’s business became so much more efficient that within a year and a half, he had to upgrade to a larger unit. Three weeks ago, he upgraded again—this time to a space with a private dock that makes loading and unloading even smoother.
The professional environment has opened new doors with both clients and lenders, who see a legitimate business location rather than scattered storage units.

For Eduardo, it’s the 24/7 access that changed everything—”I think that’s our biggest tool available to us.” No more planning operations around storage facility hours.
But the climate control runs a close second, protecting his specialized chemicals and products. The shared equipment like pallet jacks helps him move heavy marble restoration equipment safely. And the community environment means neighbors watch out for each other—a far cry from the security concerns of traditional storage.
