Organize Your Garage in the Hanover, MA Area

Your garage is more than just a place to keep your car. If you only have one car, your garage will most likely have plenty of space. This extra space can quickly become a storage area for various tools, chemicals, and items that you no longer use or aren’t currently using. As a result, it’s no surprise that the garage is the most cluttered area of your home. Fortunately, there are workarounds available.

Handyman Connection of South Shore discusses the best ways to organize a cluttered garage in this post.

Get Rid of What Isn’t Needed

You may be storing items that you no longer require. Typically, this is due to sentimental value or a nagging thought in the back of your mind that you may need it in the future. However, if you haven’t used something in a year or more, get rid of it to keep your garage from becoming cluttered. Sort your belongings into what you require, what you can donate, and what you should discard. Bring everything out onto your driveway and categorize it. Alternatively, you can begin by selecting a corner and sifting through the items in that corner to categorize them.

Shelving

It can be tempting to simply stack everything in a few boxes in your garage. However, this is inefficient, especially if you have to search through every box every time you need something. Instead, invest in building some garage shelves for easier storage and access. You can always rely on the professionals at Handyman Connection of South Shore to build garage storage shelves.

Store in Proper Areas

Another method for organizing your garage is to place items from the same category in different zones of your garage. Consider creating zones similar to those found in hardware stores; divide your garage into different areas and keep items of the same category together, such as sports equipment in one corner and car maintenance tools in another.

Reorganize

Finally, maintain your organization by returning to your garage twice a year and repairing things. You’d be surprised at how many items can accumulate in your garage over the course of six months, so make sure to check in and reorganize on a regular basis.
