Preventing falls in the garage

Let’s be honest. For most of us, the garage is less “welcome home” and more “watch your step.” Since June is National Safety Month, I thought it would be a good time to address the elephant in the room and encourage you to please stop pretending your garage isn’t suffering from safety issues. 

Between ragged, uneven concrete, mystery puddles and an overabundance of junk items, this space can present a major fall risk. We can help.

At Encore Garage, I see your garage not as a dangerous dumping ground but rather a blank canvas loaded with potential. The polyaspartic flooring we work with is more than just great-looking; it’s non-skid, durable and blissfully low-maintenance. No slipping, no scrubbing, no stressing. Just hose it down and get back to more important things in your life.

Beyond fall prevention, I enjoy meeting with clients to find out what makes them smile and including that in the garage transformation. Do they like gardening? We can create a potting paradise. Do they have grandchildren who are taking over their home as a play zone? Let’s broaden the zone and build a mini basketball court for year-round fun.

I’ve been doing this the past 20 years and found that seniors also enjoy knowing they are passing on beautiful garages to their families. No one wants to think of burdening others with a cluttered, crumbling space. A clean, safe, beautifully finished garage adds value to any home and lends peace of mind. It’s rewarding for me to watch homeowners go from “don’t look in there” to “you’ve got to see this.” Give me a call and we can get started on your transformation.
