Your ceiling height is an asset you're already paying for. Before you break ground on an addition or sign a new lease, consider what's above your head.
Option 1Traditional construction expansion
Long-term, predictable space needs with capital budget available
Option 2Relocate or add a second facility
When relocation benefits outweigh disruption costs
Mezzanine systems that double your space
*Mezzanines are classified as equipment, not construction, in most jurisdictions
Double or triple your warehouse/work capacity without adding on with our heavier duty Structural Steel Mezzanine System. Ideal for heavy industrial applications, manufacturing facilities, and warehouses requiring substantial floor loading capabilities.
Choose from Advantech, Diamond Plate, or T&G Plywood decking. Advantech provides superior quality layered over corrugated steel with enhanced moisture resistance. Diamond Plate offers maximum durability for heavy industrial traffic.
Workers walk 200+ ft around equipment daily. That's 30 minutes per shift, per person, lost to transit.
Position crews over active lines without stopping production. Bolt-together design deploys in hours.
Bridge conveyors, aisleways, and production lines. Adjustable heights clear forklifts and AGVs.

A mezzanine typically costs 60-70% less than relocating to a larger facility. When you factor in moving costs ($50-150/sq ft), lease negotiations, and 3-6 months of disruption, a mezzanine delivers the same capacity increase at a fraction of the investment—and you can take it with you if you move later.
Most clients see full payback within 12-24 months, depending on the avoided alternative (lease, addition, relocation). When you compare mezzanine cost against $50-150/sq ft for new construction or $8-15/sq ft annual lease rates, the math works fast.
Minimal disruption is a core priority. Most installations complete in 3-5 days, and we schedule around your operations. Many clients continue full production during installation. Our modular, bolt-together systems mean no welding fumes, concrete curing, or extended downtime.
From quote acceptance to completion: 4-8 weeks typical. We pre-fabricate everything off-site in our facility, so on-site work is measured in days, not weeks. Your operations keep running at full capacity throughout.
Our free site assessment answers this question. We evaluate your floor space, ceiling height, load requirements, workflow patterns, and future growth plans. You'll receive a custom recommendation with engineering drawings—no obligation.
Everything: site assessment, custom engineering, permit applications (if needed), fabrication, delivery, installation, and safety certification. One point of contact, one invoice, no coordination headaches. We've been doing this for 55+ years.
In many cases, no. Mezzanines are often classified as equipment or furniture rather than permanent construction, which typically exempts them from building permits. However, regulations vary by jurisdiction. Reynolds handles all engineering documentation and permit applications when required as part of our turnkey service.
Clients can easily relocate their mezzanine to a new facility—we handle everything. Cold roll and bolt-together designs can be completely disassembled and reinstalled. You're not leaving your investment behind—it moves with you.
