Garages protect vehicles and lawn equipment from the outside elements, provide shelter for guests when inclement weather crashes an outdoor gathering, and serve as the storage space for seasonal decorations, power tools, bicycles… pretty much anything that there is no room for inside the house. Many garages also serve as the entry point for family and friends into the home, yet they stay cluttered, dusty, and have boxes stacked in every available space.
What if someone could transform the space from top to bottom and convert it into a beautiful, organized, and functional space? Lane Smoak and his team at Garage Experts of Augusta perform these transformations daily. “My favorite aspect is turning beat up spaces that were previously ugly into complete custom garages and really transforming the area and making it usable space again,” shares Lane, a native of Evans who took over ownership of the business in 2022.
As a locally owned company with the support of a national network, Garage Experts of Augusta specializes in flooring, cabinets, and storage solutions. With a vast selection of floor finish choices, clients can select a premium coating to meet their unique style with a seemingly unlimited number of pattern and color options. The epoxy and polyaspartic coatings provide a durable, yet aesthetically pleasing, floor which will withstand vehicle, machinery, and foot traffic for years to come.
An organizer’s delight, the cabinet and storage options can be customized to fit the customer’s needs. “We do fully custom cabinet solutions,” explains Lane. “I come in, take measurements, and get an idea of what the clients want and need. Then I design 3-D renderings using CAD software and propose the design to the client. Finally, we build the unique solutions and install them as well.” In addition to cabinet storage, slatwall and overhead racks provide easy, streamlined access to tools and all the items that inevitably make their way to the garage. The finished product with accessories can be as simple or complex as desired.
The great news is that the Garage Experts not only transform garages but patios, pool decks, commercial spaces, and more. “We just finished up a six thousand square foot commercial facility. It’s a veterinary clinic and they wanted the floors done and baseboards put up to be waterproof,” says Lane. “We do just about any space and as far as customer service is concerned, we’re the best in business. Our products come with a lifetime warranty, and we take care of our customers from the second we meet with them and for years down the road.”
Completion of the renovation can take anywhere from one to four weeks depending on the scale of the project. As the holiday season approaches, consider giving yourself and your loved ones the gift of a reclaimed and renovated space.
