How it works

Built at the yard, not on your lot.

When a Mount Airy customer orders a modified container, the work happens first, at our shop in Woodlawn. We cut, weld, wire, and finish every job ourselves before the container ever gets loaded on the trailer. That means what shows up on your lot in Surry County is a finished unit, not a bare box that still needs contractors running around it to complete the build-out.

That matters for a delivery of about 22 miles down US-52. The build-out is already done by the time the container leaves Woodlawn. The one exception is electrical: we run wire and box it out in the shop, but final hookup and inspection still needs a licensed electrician on your end before that part is usable.

The mod shop

Twelve ways to change what a container can do.

We keep a library of twelve mod types, and a handful of them tend to fit a small business in Mount Airy best, depending on what the container needs to do.

  • Roll-up doors, for wide, fast access on the end or side wall
  • Shelving and racking, built to hold inventory, tools, or stock in an organized layout
  • Insulation, either spray foam or rigid panel, finished over so it looks clean inside
  • Vents, for airflow in units storing equipment or materials that need to breathe

Electrical work is roughed in only. We run the wire and box it out, then a licensed electrician handles final hookup and inspection on your end. We do not pull electrical permits ourselves.

Common jobs

What Surry County customers build.

A few use cases fit particularly well for a small business in Mount Airy and Surry County. Small retail and business owners often want a roll-up door and interior shelving so a container functions like a walk-in stockroom, something you can pull inventory from quickly without wrestling a set of cargo doors open every time. Others convert a container into a workshop, which usually starts with insulation, spray foam or rigid panel depending on the use, so the space holds a stable temperature. And equipment and materials storage setups often just need vents added, enough to keep air moving through the box without opening it up to weather.

None of that is a guess on our end. Every job, whether it is one mod or a full build-out, gets a written, itemized quote before we start cutting metal, so you know exactly what is being done and can review the scope line by line.

Options

Your container or one from our yard.

You can start with a container you already own, or with one from our Woodlawn yard, either way the mod shop can take it on. If it is your own container, we will need it to be sound and wind and water tight before we start modifying it.

A single mod, like a roll-up door or a run of shelving, typically takes a few days in the shop. A full build-out with several mods stacked together, insulation plus electrical rough-in plus shelving, for example, runs more like one to a few weeks. Either way, we will give you a real timeline once we scope the job, and the container does not leave Woodlawn until the work is done.

Mount Airy mod questions

Custom builds for Surry County.

All modification work happens at our shop in Woodlawn. We build the container out completely there, then deliver it finished to Mount Airy, so there is no crew or equipment on your lot during the work.
Yes, as long as it is sound and wind and water tight. We will look it over before any modification work starts.
We rough in electrical, meaning we run wire and set boxes, but final hookup and inspection has to be done by a licensed electrician. We do not pull electrical permits ourselves.
It depends entirely on the scope, so we do not quote prices without seeing the job. Every modification gets a written, itemized quote. Call (276) 237-6144 and we can talk through what you need and get a quote started.
