Garage storage in Carrollwood, planned for your room.
Garages in older Carrollwood houses were built for smaller cars, so there may be only a few inches to spare at the front and back. Some owners have also turned a carport into a room and kept the remaining space for storage. Park as you normally do and measure how much floor and wall is left.

Ask for an individual quote after the layout and specification for your own garage have been discussed.
Get my itemized quoteWill cabinets fit in a shallow older garage?
Often, if they are shallow enough. The car's length and door swing determine how deep the cabinets can be.
Can I put cabinets in front of the water heater?
Keep access clear. Mark the water heater and panel on the plan and ask how the layout leaves them reachable.

Carrollwood cabinet planning
Measure the garage with vehicles in place
A deeper cabinet may hold larger equipment while making everyday parking less comfortable. Compare that compromise before extending storage along the wall. See the planning FAQ for questions about the ordering process.
Protect access to existing garage equipment
Controls, utility equipment and other fixed items need to remain accessible. Photograph the entire wall and identify those features before treating the surface as an uninterrupted cabinet run.
Compare the alternatives
A continuous cabinet appearance can conflict with servicing or operating existing equipment. A deliberate break in the run may be necessary. Use the concept gallery to describe a visual preference.
Put the decision in the quote
Show vehicle outlines and cabinet depths on the layout so that the quotation reflects storage that can actually be accessed. Add this priority to your design request for Carrollwood.
