What Drives Us

Our mission: Affordable, Quality Storage solutions

When it comes to storage, homeowners often face the same question, "Where do I find a solution that’s durable, reliable, and affordable?" That's exactly the problem Harvey Tullos set out to solve back in November of 1990 when he founded our company. With a vision to provide high-quality portable storage buildings at a price that works for everyone, Harvey’s mission has stood the test of time—much like our buildings!

Today, we’re proud to say we’ve sold countless portable storage buildings to satisfied homeowners across Mississippi. But more than just the numbers, it’s the smiles, the “thank you”s, and the repeat customers that keep us committed to doing what we do best.
Portable Storage Buildings That Work for You

Built by Experts, Made for Homeowners

We’re not just builders—we’re expert builders. Every building we create is a testament to decades of experience and craftsmanship. Harvey’s original vision still inspires our team of dedicated builders, along with the hard-working members of our service and delivery staff, all of whom make sure your portable building exceeds expectations from the moment you contact us to the moment it arrives at your home.

Every component of our process is designed with homeowners in mind. From selecting the style and size of your building to coordinating delivery logistics, we want the experience to be as simple and seamless as possible for you.

"We had a great experience with A-1 buildings. Friendly staff, very accommodating and all around 10/10. They waited after hours for us to get there to look at a building and went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied with our purchase. Fast delivery as well."
