When is a garage more than just a garage? When its functionality and aesthetics are empowered by state of the art designer garage cabinets. At Garage Outfitters, we offer a number of garage storage solutions; among them garage flooring, overhead storage, and a host of garage accessories including storage containers, HandiWall, and more. Our great line of products is headlined by our Signature Series garage cabinet line that increases your storage space exponentially while effectively making over your garage in a way that promises to last a lifetime. Imagine a garage in which everything is put away neatly and has its place, leaving an abundance of space with which to do what you see fit. The dream begins with our garage cabinets.

Our cabinets set the industry standard because they are constructed using the toughest building materials on the market. Our finished plywood not only looks great but sets a standard for durability and toughness, meaning you can expect your garage cabinets to carry their weight for as long as you own your home. A quick perusal of the market shows that other manufacturers often cut corners through the use of particle board, cheap plastics or steel, offering overpriced products that don’t have a chance of standing the test of time. Meanwhile, our thermo fused plywood is environmentally friendly and embodies functionality, increasing your storage space at an exceptional value.

Great construction and durability are the calling cards of our garage cabinets, but they are just the beginning of what our Signature Series cabinets include. In addition to their plywood construction and dovetail assembly, our cabinets feature a number of upgrades including steel handles, adjustable shelving, full plywood backs, and six-way adjustable hinges, to name a few. In addition, our thermo-fused finish assures that your cabinets will be scratch resistant to maintain their great appearance. And with your choice of wood grain cabinets in American Maple, Rosewood, or our new Brushed Stainless Finish, the finishes you’ll choose from are truly spectacular.

Finding additional storage space is a challenge most homeowners struggle with, yet often times the available space is right under their nose. At Garage Outfitters, we invite you to step into your garage and imagine the possibilities a series of cabinets might bring. Give your family the additional storage space it needs, and give your garage a sleek, streamlined and fashionable look in the process with our durable and affordable Signature Series of garage cabinets.

Garage storage solutions have to start with a question that only you can answer: What is my storage problem in the garage? Once you have that question answered accurately you can then move on to a consideration of alternate solutions. If you seek a solution before you really know the problem or need, then you may end up spending money on a “solution” that really just becomes part of an ever growing problem. It wouldn’t make any sense, for example, to purchase a kayak rack to hang on the wall of your garage, if you don’t own a kayak. Or let’s say you have a garden shed that houses a lot of your yard tools and paint supplies. It obviously wouldn’t make any sense to purchase and install garage storage solutions for those items. You might purchase them for the shed, but not for the garage.

For years I was frustrated with how things just got tossed in my garage. I couldn’t ever actually put the car in there because there was never any room. The kids had their bikes in there. All my tools were sort of randomly stored there. With all the miscellaneous boxes, holiday decorations, sports equipment, etc., there was never really any order to it. Seems like the garage was this ever-changing monster that just sort of ate away at my peace of mind. My wife and I used to joke around about how feng-shui our garage was. I hope you are picking up on a little sarcasm here, because that’s exactly what it is. Feng shui? Are you kidding me. I think by joking about the garage we made ourselves feel a little less pain.

But the blessed day finally came when we snapped out of it, put our thinking caps on, and learned to itemize the real problems in the garage. We literally wrote down on a piece of paper all of the areas that needed fixing. The main garage storage solutions we found to work best for us were: first, bins, hooks and racks that attach to the wall for storing the kid’s sport balls, bats, roller blades, bikes, jump rope, and winter toys. This alone helped a lot. All those little things that used to just float around wherever now have a specific place to be stored. Second, adequate shelving and cabinet space. We had a little bit of storage before, but nowhere near adequate. Once we installed more cabinets and shelves the garage really started to become a place free of stress. So much of the stuff we had could be put behind closed doors or neatly on shelves that the floor space was freed up enough to pull the car in. We had a big cake to celebrate that day!

I have a sneaking suspicion that most home owners in need of good garage storage solutions just need to crank up the thinking a notch, and learn to identify exactly what it is that they need. After this is done, there has to be a willingness to implement a solution to fit the actual need. Having a messy, cluttered, unorganized garage is not something you have to endure any longer. Your garage doesn’t have to be your nemesis. There are so many great commercial garage storage solutions for the homeowner, that now there is just no excuse for a garage that doesn’t have at least some semblance of order.

The success of a garage sale relies on various factors, e.g., posting an advertisement about the garage sale even weeks before the day, displaying and categorizing the clothing articles and other garage sale items in such a way that the visitors (read: buyers) will be buying them, and the overall organization skills of the host.

How about considering some little things that may not only boost your sales but also make the garage sale more tolerable or even enjoyable?

Wearing the appropriate garage sale gear can help. No really!

Here are some tips on how to get dressed for the kill, err, the sale:

Think comfy.

Even if you have friends to help you during the sale, don’t overlook wearing what will make you feel most comfortable. Depending on the weather you need to wear the right clothes. You will surely break a sweat with all that moving around and sales talk.

Think fun.

How about drawing more attention to your garage sale by wearing fun Hawaiian t-shirts? No, you don’t have to wear a costume that would humiliate you. Just anything that would set a more festive mood will make your garage sale worth the time of other busy on-lookers. Funny hats, bandannas, and some flashy, nostalgic clothing can strike a conversation, too. Exerting a little more effort in making your garage sale visitors have fun through your clothes will surely make your sale one of the most memorable ones.

Think of distinguishing yourself as the host.

It would be excellent if your garage sale earned the attention of many people in your neighborhood. But what if the people have crowded in too much that they don’t know who to ask about whatever item they have taken an interest in? Wear something that will make you stand out as the garage sale’s host. Try wearing a shirt that says, “Garage Sale Guy” or for a bit more fun “You Get a Kiss for a Purchase of More Than $10.” That would be hard not to noticed, wouldn’t it?

Think money-savvy.

It wouldn’t be fun anymore if you lose the proceeds from your garage sale. So better wear something that will secure the money. An apron-like with pockets that can be zipped can help keep your dollar bills in place. Also, it would be very helpful to separate the loose change or coins from the dollar bills if you want to make the garage sale go smoothly.

Now don’t forget to smell your best, too.

Its spring time again, it time to clean and start selling your stuff in a garage sale. Garage sales are more successful when they are organized by a group of people. Whatever you do, don’t charge too much. Many people of have garage sales usually keep most of the items under $5.00. Make sure your garage sale is not sloppily organized. Garage sales take time and effort, it is not something that should be taken lightly, there is a lot of work that goes into it, and it is almost like having a small business. Many people have garage sales to earn extra money or when cleaning out their homes they need away of getting rid of their unwanted items. There are many different factors that will help for a successful garage sale. The one main factor is the type of products and how are they selling. Experience is still the best teacher any individual can have and having garage sales is no exception to the rule.

It’s also a good idea to mark up your asking price from the bottom-line price you are willing to accept. Basically, the price marked on the price tag at most garage sales is taken as the starting price from which the buyer and seller negotiate. Garage sales are events that need detailed planning. Garage sales are a lot of fun especially when have the ability to haggle the price down to almost nothing.

You should group all same items together and set one price for them. Before a garage sale, these items should be categorized. One of the most important things to do before it starts is pricing. When selling items you will need to leave room to negotiate the price. You may offer special discount prices to some items. You may find customers still asking for discounts even if the items are already priced low.

If you have expensive items and you think they are valuable have them appraised by a dealer or an appraiser. Most of the time you can find them in the yellow pages or you can do a search on the internet. In fact, don’t throw anything away. You will be surprised at what people will buy. Price your items fairly, but not too low. People should learn how to give away gadgets that they cannot decide to keep or toss. Most people think that it is enough to put a single ad in the local paper one week before the sale. It is a well accepted theory that people are most productive and alert at the beginning of a work day then they are at later times of the day so start your garage sale early in the morning.

The most important part of the garage sale is the products, if you don’t have good ones no one will buy. We all know when visiting a garage sale you are looking for the items that are being sold, if the products are not good and they are trash the garage sale will not do well, it doesn’t matter if how well you planned if there is of nothing of interest the people will not buy, this will make it hard for you garage sale to succeed. You may ask for the help of friends to assist the customers on their search of their targeted item. Make sure that your sellers are able to locate each item in the garage sale.



High Efficiency Gas Furnace

Emily Siliwon-Curb Appeal CSI Garage Doors asked:


Everyone’s finally dressed and ready to leave. You back the car out, hit the remote, and you’re off. Until you realize the garage door hasn’t gone down. You reluctantly pull back into the driveway, brow furrowing in frustration. It happens to everyone. Many homeowners don’t even realize they left it open until they return home.

Why didn’t it close? Garage doors usually fail to close as a result of the safety sensors being blocked. They’re located on each side of the opening, no more than a foot or so off the ground. Typically, each will have a small light that stays lit when everything is going well. If either of the lights are out, simply move whatever is blocking the sensor (sometimes even cobwebs/small debris can cause safety sensors to malfunction) or adjust them so that they are pointing at each other again. You can move these around by hand if they’ve been knocked out of alignment.

If you’re still stuck at home, make sure nothing is blocking the path of the door. This can be a common cause for service calls on garage doors. Always use caution when operating your door, but be extra cautious when it’s not working correctly. It’s the probably the largest, heaviest piece of machinery in the house. The counter balance system of the door is under EXTREME pressure, and when it doesn’t work properly, it can be dangerous. Many people have been injured or even killed by garage doors, some of them professionals. If your garage door is sitting crooked in the opening, has come off the tracks, or is not working properly, call a professional repair company immediately.

If the door works but the opener still won’t close it, there are a couple more things to try before calling a professional. Try using the wall button instead of the remote or keyless entry. It’s possible the remote’s batteries are dead, or the opener’s lock function has been enabled. If the garage door itself is working properly, you can pull the manual release on the opener. This will let you close the door manually, although the opener won’t be locking it shut the way it normally would.

Some openers have an indicator light that can help troubleshoot any problems. Again, you’ll need your owner’s manual for your opener. Many can be found online by doing a quick search for your make and model number. You can find the model and manufacturer on the back of the opener.

If all else fails, it may be time to call a pro. Some companies will be able to give an estimate on probable repairs over the phone, so let them know what steps you may have already taken. Call a few different companies to ensure their numbers are competitive. Since openers have an expected life span of about 10 years, it might also be a good idea to check prices for new openers, instead of repairing an older model. Newer models will have more up to date security features, as well.
