Garage Cabinets
Our powder-coated wood garage cabinets provide durable, customizable storage solutions engineered for heavy-duty use. These units feature reinforced construction to withstand temperature fluctuations and daily wear while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Clients benefit from optimized vertical space utilization and improved garage organization.
Epoxy Flooring
Commercial-grade epoxy flooring systems create seamless, slip-resistant surfaces that resist chemical damage and staining. The 100% solids formulation forms a permanent bond with concrete substrates, offering superior durability compared to DIY alternatives. Homeowners gain easy-to-clean surfaces that enhance garage functionality and property value.
Overhead Storage
Custom overhead storage systems maximize unused ceiling space for seasonal items and bulky equipment. Engineered for structural integrity, these units maintain floor accessibility while providing secure storage solutions. The system integrates with existing garage layouts without compromising headroom clearance requirements.
Custom Closets
Tailored closet organization systems feature adjustable shelving, hanging rods, and specialty storage components. The designs accommodate varying space dimensions and storage requirements while improving accessibility. Homeowners achieve clutter-free environments with optimized storage capacity for clothing and accessories.
Slatwall Systems
Modular slatwall panels create adaptable storage solutions for tools, sports equipment, and seasonal items. The system allows reconfiguration as storage needs evolve while maintaining wall protection. Users benefit from improved organization and visual appeal through customizable accessory arrangements.

JOHN JAMES WITH GREAT LAKES GARAGE STORAGE WAS VERY RESPONSIVE FROM BEGINNING TO END WITH OUR PROJECT. HE WAS PATIENT WITH OUR QUESTIONS, OFFERED AMAZING IDEAS AND INFORMATION TO HELP US DECIDE ON A PLAN. HE WAS NEVER PUSHY, NOR DID HE TRY ANY SALESMAN TACTICS TO TRY TO UPSELL US INTO SOMETHING WE DIDN'T NEED. WE HAD AN EPOXY FLOOR DONE, CABINETS AND SLOTWALLS INSTALLED. OUR GARAGE IS MORE AMAZING THAN WE EVER THOUGHT IT WOULD BE. WE ARE SO VERY PLEASED WITH THE QUALITY OF THE CABINETS AND THE INSTALLATION. THANK YOU JOHN FOR A JOB WELL DONE!

John was great to work with. We went back and forth with cabinet layouts via email until we got the perfect custom solution for my Garage Mahal. The two-tone garage cabinetry I went with is top-notch and installation went smoothly. Pictures are attached Still having fun getting the organization together, so look past the personal stuff. If you're ready to redo your garage space and the local home improvement stuff won't be good enough for you, John and Great Lakes Garage will show you the best way to do your project. Highly recommend and would call on them again in an instant.

Working with Great Lakes Garage has been one of the best home improvement decisions we've ever made! The quality and value we got from our garage remodel has been so helpful for our family to keep organized and efficient. We then had Great Lakes Garage use the same great cabinets and slot wall to make an office/craft room in our basement. Both areas got epoxy floor finishes prior to the cabinet installs and that has made them great work spaces! If you want or need any type of home organization/work area improvements, Great Lakes Garage is the one to work with!

John from Great Lakes Garage is a great guy and a true professional. I had them install cabinets in my garage.They look great and took no time at all to install. Since then, I had then install shelving in my pantry, and custom shelves in my master bedroom closet. What a difference they made providing so much more storage. I'm having John epoxy my garage floor next. I'll post pictures when that is done. Thanks again John
