Prep for Install
Empty your garage of all contents. Sort things into piles: things to throw away, things to donate, and then sort by category (lawn care, sports, summer, winter, etc.)
The garage is now a blank slate to have new lighting, flooring, drywall, etc. installed. Once the “canvas” is prepped it’s time to install the storage and organization options.
Then it’s time to put everything into its place and pull in the car!
