Kathy Bird Testimonial

"If you need help to save money on your modified container Jason is a person to talk to"

Jason and Aneta and the delivery drivers were a pleasure to work with. Excellent quality finish at a fair price and really good communication by text any time of the day. If you need help to save money on your modified container Jason is a person to talk to. He gave me plenty of options and ideas.

After shopping around looking for a modified shipping container I had them insulate and frame up the inside with a light and electrical socket for a small base heater. The finished product was excellent and I am super happy with the final result. There are so many people that are scammers or take your money and don't provide! I would highly recommend this company to anyone that wants to purchase a sea can or modify one. Great job — definitely I will be ordering another one in the future.
