No, we simply need access to your garage and you do not need to be home. You can go about your day as normal while we add hundreds of additional square footage of storage space to your home.

Most 1-car garages are 10 to 11 feet wide and most 2-car garages are 20 to 22 feet wide. We utilize the entire width of your garage at a depth that extends just past the garage door opener or roughly 11 feet deep. This gives you approximately 120 square foot of additional storage area in a 1-car garage and 230 square feet of additional storage space in a 2-car garage.

Our Garage Attic Storage Loft system is supported by a high-strength, engineered LVL wood beam that spans the entire width of your garage. The beam is posted down to your foundation eliminating the need for additional support from above or below and without placing any additional stress on your homes existing structure.

We will not span further than 24 feet in width without the use of additional support. If your garage is wider than 24 feet we recommend that you schedule a free on-site consultation so we can make a definitive assessment and discuss your options accordingly.
