Never in my life would I have thought a personal storage business would be so thoughtful, kind, responsible, friendly, warm and committed to the Golden Rule as is Patterson Self Storage. Jane is one beautiful human being and an impeccable business manager. Brian is a bolt of sunlight and ease to work, as is Jane, and all the support and maintenance staff are respectful, warm and helpful, always. One hot day while moving into a second unit with them, maintenance brought us ice cold bottled water. They are fiercely protective of your property and serious about the care of theirs. Impeccably maintained property and air conditioned buildings–some are temperature controlled for say piano storage–you are in the best hand with Patterson Self Storage. They even decorate the grounds for each holiday. Too fun for words. Clean, clean, clean bathroom, this place is another home away from home.
