Garage Organization
I was hired last year by a doctor who lives very near my Utah home. Dave knew he needed professional help with garage organization. He realized that clutter is a stress creator and the condition of his garage was affecting the quality of his life. At our first meeting I asked him what pushed him to call me and he said, “I feel real frustration when I drive into my garage each day.” Dave realized that letting go of the excess and organizing what was left would allow him to feel more positive about his daily return home.
Because the garage is one of a few home spaces where we place our “I might need this someday stuff”, garage organization is quite simple. When I work with clients I bring with me a list of all the possible garage organization categories and we start sorting their items into categories purging and deleting as we go. You can organize your garage by looking at your gathered items and decide on these main categories.

Listed below are some photos of a few of my favorite garage organization products. I am always good on my promises. Here you go:
Schulte’s freedomrail line makes a complete garage organization storage solution.
Ceiling Shelves for storage of yard furniture or holiday decor. (pulley driven baskets to raise and lower ceiling stored items)
Tool Rack – to get tools off the garage floor.
Sporting Goods – For winter ski’s & tennis rackets – Two 1” dowel pieces cut 12 to 24” long and then anchored to a 2 X 4 wood piece and attached to the garage wall. You slide your skis in with the curved tips out and the tennis racket with the webbed net up. For Bicycles = 2 bike gravity stand $70, Bike Hoist Pulley System $25, LOW BUDET = 2 Large ceiling Cup Hooks per bike
Through garage organization you can turn your garage into the room you’ve dreamed of for years. Realize that even your home storage areas require monthly and yearly upkeep. I recommend to my clients that they get the whole family involved and plan to spend 3 hours yearly doing a purge and clean. Who knows, after YOUR garage organization session, you may even be able to easily get your car inside. Now, wouldn’t that be delightful?

I like that you suggested having garage organization storage by starting with gathering items and deciding on main categories. I hope that I can hire professionals for this matter since I have limited free time these days. My garage just needs to be organized since the mess has been causing pests to come and damage some of my belongings there for a month now.

Mia. It really is essential that you remove clutter from the garage floor. Pests like easy nesting places. Because you did not list the city and state in which you reside I cannot suggest an organizing pro for you. I which you success as you remedy this problem area. -Vicki
