MakoRabco (Mako Steel)

MakoRabco is a full-service design-build contractor specializing in self-storage construction and structural engineering, working nationwide from Carlsbad, California. It designs, supplies and installs self-storage buildings rather than supplying steel alone.

The product line covers single-story, multi-story and corridor, and climate-controlled self-storage buildings; enclosed boat and RV storage; canopy structures; flex space and contractor bays; conversion solutions for existing structures; capacity expansion systems; pre-engineered metal buildings; portable storage units; and door and hallway systems, including roll-up doors from partner Trac-Rite Doors and the Passport SMART Lock from Honeywell International. Services range from custom engineering and planning to site planning, unit mix analysis, installation and repairs, delivered by in-house engineers, project managers, estimators and self-storage specialists, with certified and trained building crews and shipping locations on both the east and west coasts.

The company was founded in 1993 and says it has served the storage industry through the construction of more than 4000 facilities, drawing on over 50 years of combined industry experience and more than 30 years of company history. New State Capital Partners acquired a majority investment in August 2019. The site now describes MakoRabco as a member of the Trachte Building Systems Family of Companies and a strategic partner of Trac-Rite Doors, and says more than 70% of its business comes from repeat customers and their referrals.

The office address is 5650 El Camino Real #100, Carlsbad, California. Contractor licenses are listed for Arizona, California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington and Florida. Pricing is quoted per project; a brochure and free quote are offered on the site.
