1. List what you store

Sort items into daily-use, weekly, seasonal and long-term. Daily items belong at arm height near the door; seasonal items belong overhead.

2. Measure

  • Each wall, corner to corner
  • Ceiling height and the garage door's travel
  • Vehicle length and door-swing clearance
  • Outlets, switches, windows and the water heater

3. Pick a job for each surface

4. Plan for the climate

In Reno and especially at Tahoe, snow melt and road grit end up on the garage floor. Raised or wall-hung storage makes cleaning easier.

5. Get a layout

A design consult turns this into a measured plan and a written quote.

Frequently asked questions

Should I buy cabinets or racks first?

Plan both together, then install the ceiling racks first, followed by walls and cabinets, so nothing gets in the way.
