Benefits

Add Value to Your Site

• The investment needed for a full, turnkey door replacement project is approximately $550 per unit
• On average, a renovated unit could generate a $5 per month rent increase, multiplied by 100 units, would equal $6,000 per year in a new revenue
• Assume a cap rate of 6.5% ($6,000/6.5% = $92,307)

Return on Investment Could Be Met in as Little as 3-6 Months

Factor in Additional Savings

• Up to 20% just by using IOA Insurance Services for commercial/self-storage insurance
• Annual depreciation for a net income offset
• Reduced claims and maintenance fees
• Qualify for partial insurance discounts and potential cost segregation tax benefits

Consider the Cost of Unearned Income

• One 10' x 10' unit at $50 per month = $600 in annual lost income

Paint Can Be a Problem

Why replacing a door is better than painting an existing one:

• Painting adds weight to the door which can cause spring failure over time
• Painting decreases the workability of doors leading to rough operation and potentially causing load balance issues
• Paint can crack, peel and fade in as little as three years
  

Beyond Looking Good

DBCI clients are reporting several added advantages to replacing their doors:

• The new, improved look attracts more new tenants, increasing occupancy
• Improved facilities command higher rental rates
• Higher customer retention by keeping units secure and easier to use
• Reduce exposure to legal claims with safer, better operating doors
• Insurance reductions and potential tax deductions (consult your financial advisor for specific advice)
  

Curb Appeal Matters

Since up to 80% of your facility is covered by a roll-up door, the easiest way to put a new shine on your facility is with the Door Replacement Program:

• Currently offering 3rd generation doors, the most reliable and durable door product on the market
• Dead axel design, harder steel and an adjustable tensioner are just some of the standard features that make those doors the best in the business
• With manufacturing facilities in strategic spots worldwide and strong vendor relationships, DBCI can cut its cost
• The doors install approximately 40% more quickly than other manufacturers, further securing budgetary concerns for your facility
