Why overhead storage
The ceiling is the most unused surface in most garages. A ceiling-mounted rack holds items you only need a few times a year, so the walls and floor stay free for everyday use.
What we check before installing
- Ceiling joist or truss direction and spacing
- Garage door track, opener rail and travel path
- Lights, sprinkler heads and attic access hatches
- Rated load of the rack and what you plan to store
- Clearance for the tallest vehicle that parks underneath
Good fits for overhead racks
- Holiday decorations and seasonal bins
- Camping, fishing and hunting gear
- Skis, snowboards and summer toys in Tahoe garages
- Spare tires and luggage
Racks are lagged into framing, not drywall. If the ceiling can't support a rack where you want it, we'll say so and suggest a wall or cabinet option instead.
Where we cover
Reno, NV, Sparks, NV, Carson City, NV, South Lake Tahoe, CA, Stateline & Zephyr Cove, NV, Incline Village, NV, Truckee, CA, Tahoe City, CA, Kings Beach, CA, and the wider Tahoe Basin.

Frequently asked questions
How much weight can an overhead garage rack hold?
Each rack has a manufacturer load rating, and the ceiling framing matters too. We confirm both before installing and won't exceed either.
Will a ceiling rack interfere with my garage door?
Placement is planned around the door track and opener. In many garages the space beside the opener rail or over the hood of a parked car works well.
Do you install overhead racks in Tahoe garages?
Yes, including South Lake Tahoe, Stateline, Incline Village, Truckee, Tahoe City and Kings Beach.
