CEILING STORAGE | LONG ISLAND, NY
Overhead Garage Storage on Long Island, NY
Your garage has more storage space than you think.
Organized Garage Solutions installs overhead garage storage systems for homeowners throughout Long Island, helping move seasonal and infrequently used belongings off the floor and into otherwise wasted ceiling space.
Stop Storing Everything at Floor Level.
Most garages have one major limitation: floor space.
But look up.
The space above your vehicles, garage door and storage areas often represents some of the most underused square footage in your home.
Holiday decorations, storage totes, luggage, camping equipment and seasonal supplies can consume entire corners of the garage even though you only need them a few times each year.
Overhead garage storage gives those belongings somewhere else to live.
By moving infrequently used items above the everyday activity zone, you can reclaim valuable floor and wall space without getting rid of the things you still want to keep.
BUILT FOR BETTER ORGANIZATION
Turn Wasted Ceiling Space Into Storage.
-
Get plastic totes off the garage floor and create a designated area where seasonal belongings can stay organized.
-
Move Christmas decorations, Halloween décor and other seasonal items out of valuable everyday storage space.
-
Create space for luggage, camping gear, coolers and belongings you want to keep but don't need to access every week.
-
Where garage dimensions and door clearances allow, the area above an open garage door can become valuable storage space that otherwise goes completely unused.
-
Moving less frequently used belongings overhead creates more room for vehicles, cabinets, workbenches and the equipment you use every day.
-
Combine overhead storage with cabinetry and slatwall so every item is stored based on how frequently you use it.
Find the Storage Space You Didn't Know You Had.
EVALUATE
We measure the garage and evaluate ceiling height, garage-door movement, vehicles and existing ceiling features.
THE ORGANIZED GARAGE PROCESS
PLAN
We identify appropriate areas for overhead storage while accounting for garage-door tracks, openers, lighting, attic access and other obstructions.
SELECT
We determine the storage configuration that makes sense for your ceiling height, available space and the belongings you want to store.
INSTALL
Your storage system is professionally mounted according to the requirements of the selected product and appropriate structural attachment points.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
There is no single weight capacity that applies to every overhead storage system.
Capacity depends on the rack or lift selected, its size, the mounting system and the structure supporting it.
Some residential systems are intended for relatively lightweight seasonal storage, while certain heavy-duty systems can carry several hundred pounds when correctly installed.
We follow the published load rating of the specific product installed and design the system around what you plan to store.
-
Overhead storage must be properly secured to appropriate structural framing.
In a typical finished garage, the visible drywall is not what supports the rack. The mounting hardware passes through the finished ceiling and is secured into appropriate joists or structural framing above it.
The framing location and storage-system requirements are evaluated before installation.
-
No.
Drywall by itself is not an appropriate structural mounting point for a loaded overhead storage rack.
The storage system needs to be secured according to the manufacturer's requirements into appropriate structural framing.
-
Yes.
Having a drywall ceiling does not normally prevent overhead storage from being installed.
The structural framing above the drywall is located and the mounting hardware is secured through the finished ceiling into the appropriate framing.
-
That depends on how the garage is constructed and the amount of weight involved.
The rack's advertised capacity tells you how much the rack itself may be designed to support. The structure of the garage is a separate consideration.
Ceiling framing, truss design, spacing, span, existing loads and other conditions can affect what is appropriate.
If unusual structural conditions are present or unusually heavy loads are planned, additional evaluation may be required.
-
There isn't one universal minimum.
The appropriate amount of clearance depends on the storage system, depth of the rack, items being stored, vehicle height and garage-door configuration.
A standard-height garage may still have useful overhead storage opportunities, while higher ceilings provide additional possibilities.
We measure the actual usable space rather than relying solely on the overall ceiling height.
