Manchester Farms is recognized not only for being family owned and operated for more than 165 years, but also for the beautifully maintained, historic round barn that sits on the property. The same level of care that has helped the round barn endure is given to the farm's more modern structures, including a 90's-era metal-clad shop building. When one of its two big doors was damaged by accident, the farm's owners chose a high-quality replacement from Schweiss Doors.

As a commercial pilot, it makes sense that Alex Eskin loves airplanes and being in the clouds. But Eskin is a car lover too, which was behind his decision to build a garage at his Honolulu home. One of the garage's key features, functionally and aesthetically, is a new bifold door from Schweiss Doors.

The climate-controlled self-storage industry is booming, with some industry experts predicting a growth rate of approximately 7% through 2030. Driving the construction of new facilities is consumer demand for protecting sensitive items, rising urbanization, and high demand for residential and commercial storage.

One of the company's recent projects is the new Extra Space Storage facility in Providence, RI.
