Increase Storage with Shelving and Racks

Proper shelving is essential for any well-organized garage. It helps you keep items off the floor and within easy reach, maximizing your available space.

Garage shelving and racks come in various sizes and materials, making them perfect for storing everything from bins and boxes to tools and equipment. Our durable, powder-coated steel shelves are designed to withstand heavy loads and resist wear and tear, ensuring long-lasting performance.

Open shelving units offer the flexibility to change the height and spacing of shelves as your storage requirements evolve. This adaptability makes shelving and racks an ideal solution for garages of all sizes and uses.

Inverted shelving units offer the flexibility to store both frequently and infrequently-used items on garage walls. One or more  shelves can be installed high or low on a wall, including above cabinets, a refrigerator or slat wall.

Secure and Organize with Custom Cabinets

Custom garage cabinets provide secure, organized storage for a wide range of items. Whether you need to store power tools, cleaning supplies, or automotive gear, cabinets keep your items safe and out of sight, contributing to a clean and clutter-free garage.

Our cabinets come in various sizes and finishes, allowing you to select the perfect combination for your space. Features like soft-closing hinges and full-extension drawer glides ensure ease of use and durability.

Customizable options enable you to design a storage system that fits your specific needs and aesthetic preferences, making your garage both functional and visually appealing.

Create a Functional Workspace with a Workbench

Every hobbyist needs a solid workspace. A custom workbench provides a dedicated area for projects, repairs, and more. Our workbenches are designed to be durable and functional, with integrated storage to keep tools and supplies within arm’s reach.

Whether you need a simple workbench for occasional use or a more elaborate setup with upper and lower cabinets, multi-sized drawers, sink-based cabinets, or lighting, we can design a solution that meets your needs. A well-organized workbench helps you work more efficiently, keeping your workspace clear and reducing the time spent searching for tools and materials.

Utilize Overhead Storage for Bulky Items

Overhead storage is perfect for items that you don’t use every day. It helps keep your garage floor clear and maximizes your available space.

Garage overhead storage solutions include motorized lifters for easy access to stored items and hard top lifters for heavier gear like car tops. By moving these items off the floor and into the overhead space, you free up valuable real estate in your garage for more frequently used items or work areas.

In addition, seasonal items, like holiday decorations and camping gear stored in overhead storage keeps them out of the way until needed. Motorized lifters make accessing these items a breeze.

Store Bikes Efficiently with Bike Racks

For cycling enthusiasts, having a designated spot for your bikes is essential. Bike storage racks keep your bikes off the floor and easily accessible, preventing damage and making it easy to grab your bike and go for a ride.

We offer both wall-mounted and ceiling-mounted options to suit your space and usage needs. Wall-mounted bike racks save floor space, while ceiling-mounted options provide even more storage solutions. By using bike racks, you can keep your garage organized and ensure your bikes are stored securely.

Protect Your Floors with Durable Coatings

A good garage floor does more than just look great—it protects your garage and makes cleaning a breeze.

Our garage floor coatings start with a two-part epoxy base coat for a strong bond, followed by a layer of decorative chips for texture. A polyaspartic/polyurea top coat provides a durable, chemical-resistant finish that remains pristine over time.

This multi-layer system not only looks fantastic, it also provides a durable surface with traction when wet. The epoxy-flaked floor is easy to clean and maintain.  In addition, the top coat is designed to resist staining, chipping, and peeling, ensuring your garage floor stays looking new, even under heavy use.

Enhance Aesthetics with Garage Tile Floors

Garage tile floors offer a vibrant and durable option that can transform the look of your garage. Available in a variety of colors, these tiles provide a slip-resistant surface that is easy to clean.

This flooring option is not only functional but also can be installed in unique patterns and designs in a variety of colors, adding a personal touch to your garage.
