Creative Ways to Organize Your Garage, Part I
Installing an epoxy concrete floor in your garage is a great start for transforming it, but once your floors are in, you’ll need to organize the space. Here are some creative ideas for making your garage an organized and effective area:
Ceiling track storage: Invest in a ceiling track storage system to get storage bins off the floor, or build one yourself if you’re more of the handy type. Lots of tutorials are available online, depending on the type of storage containers you’ll be using.
Storage tubes: Cardboard concrete-forming tubes are an inexpensive way to create unobtrusive storage for brooms, mops, rakes, or other tools. Place the tubes on a 2×4 in the event of moisture on the floor and secure them against a wall with a plumbing strap.
Pegboards: An oldie-but-a-goodie, peg boards are a great way to store and organize tools, and the pegs can be moved around as needed to fit the items you’re storing.
Lockers: Have a lot of people living in your home? Lockers are a great way for the entire family to store sports equipment, tools, and more in their own personal area.
Ceiling hooks: Ceiling hooks are a great way to get bikes, kayaks, or other sporting equipment off the floor, creating more space throughout the garage.
Once you have installed an epoxy concrete floor in your garage, the next step is to get it organized! Check back for part II of this blog for more creative organization tips.

Really Pleased! Our garage needed some major help – not only was it a mess but the floor was just ugly with all the stains and such. I will agree with the reviewer below – do not go with the cheap imitators! Floorguard not only has a great product, but their installers and service is well worth any extra cost, which is minimal anyway. Our neighbors have commented on how good our garage looks and we’ve recommended them to Floorguard without hesitation.

Covering our old, gray garage floor was a great aesthetic and functional improvement. This project requires 2 days: first day preparing the surface (major job requiring right equipment), putting down first coating and sprinkling the flakes. This requires about 4 hours. After this dries, they come back next day and apply the topcoat. They notified us when they would start the work and arrived as promised. They worked diligently, completed the work efficiently, left the work areas and our driveway clean. The owner Steve is a great guy to deal with.

It was a pleasure dealing with the company’s owner Steve Chaloult. When we called him to give us an estimate, he arranged to come within a few days. We have a very large two car garage. His estimate was a bit more than the first company we called but he seemed very well prepared in showing us samples and very knowledgeable about his product and we just liked him. For personal reasons , we had to delay installation for about a month and he could not be more accommodating. we finally we able to have it done this past week and it was worth the wait. The garage floor is just beautiful and I never would have thought I would say that about a garage floor! We also had the lower walls around the floor done and very glad we did. At one time we were thinking we could do this ourselves using a kit. WHAT were we thinking? This is a job for a professional and we are so glad we used Steve.

The owner Steve Chaloult was easy to work with and he’s very good at what he does. I highly recommend Floorguard as your contractor if you’re wanting to have a garage floor finished with a durable epoxy like colored finish. Floorguard came when they said they would and cleaned up after they were finished. Floorguard also installs garage storage cabinets.
