For many homeowners, the garage serves as extra storage, even an afterthought when, in actuality, it is one of the first spaces of the home that families enter at the beginning and end of each day. The garage entrance also often serves as the main point of entry to a home for visiting family and friends. With that in mind, remodeling a garage is more than just an investment that adds monetary value to a home. It is an investment in peace of mind, the safety of family and friends as they use the space, and in the future projects and memories that will be created there.
“We all have garages and know that feeling of walking into a cluttered, dirty space that you don't want to be in, and where you don't want to look for anything. Sometimes garage floors are unsafe, and things are being stored in ways that are potentially hazardous,” said Bryan Grimsley, owner of Omega Garage Solutions. “A garage can be so much more than just a storage place, and we focus specifically on garage upgrades and extending the living space of a home into the garage.”
Grimsley stresses that garage remodels are not about having the fanciest garage in the neighborhood, it is about providing peace of mind that the garage is a clean, safe space to use in whatever way a family wants to use it, whether that is to store possessions, park vehicles, or serve as a game room or home gym.
“When we work in a garage, I like to start in the home by getting a feel for the person’s style and needs. I want to understand how they intend to use the garage and how to create the most value for them,” he explained. “Once I have a good understanding of what it is they're looking for, I'll put together a 3D design using our software. Before I leave, they're able to see not only the design in their actual space, but they have the pricing as well.”
According to Grimsley, about half of the projects involve reorganizing the garage and providing storage solutions that not only look nice but allow for easy access to stored items. “For organizing garages, we use custom-designed cabinets, overhead storage systems, and slat walls, which is a great way to organize things for a great value,” he explained.
Other customers prefer the remodeling to be concrete coating specific. “We go in and take a nasty, dirty, and potentially unsafe garage floor and turn it into a floor that you can feel safe using,” he added. “The coating also allows for quick and easy clean up when spills occur while preventing staining.”
Grimsley loves witnessing the quick transformation of spaces going from unorganized and messy to an organized, functional, and aesthetically pleasing space. He finds fulfillment in watching the joy experienced by homeowners when they see the remodeled space.
“Most of our jobs take anywhere from one day to three days, so there is a level of instant gratification that a homeowner sees in that change,” he shared. “To see the transformation happen so quickly and be able to get instant feedback by seeing how happy the entire family is when their garage is transformed overnight is a pretty fun thing to watch.”
For Grimsley, one of the best parts of being a family-owned, local business is serving the community. “Snohomish is our home,” he shared. “My kids go to school here, we do business locally, and we want to create valuable experiences and spaces for our neighbors.”
