Master the Garage Storage Category with Ideal Cabinetry

Garage storage is one of the most overlooked, and easiest, revenue opportunities in cabinetry.

Every year, the same thing happens: holiday décor comes down, clutter builds up, and homeowners start seeing their garage as a problem that needs solving. That moment is your opening.

With built-in garage cabinetry, you’re not selling shelves or temporary fixes — you’re offering a finished, intentional solution that feels like a true extension of the home.

Why the Garage Is a Natural Extension of Cabinet Sales

Homeowners aren’t just organizing anymore — they’re upgrading.

Garages are increasingly used as:

• Everyday storage zones
• Home gyms or hobby spaces
• Transition areas between indoors and outdoors
• Utility spaces that still need to look clean and controlled

This makes the garage a natural next step for cabinetry.

For dealers, that means:

• Larger overall project tickets
• Easy add-on opportunities without a full kitchen remodel
• A reason to re-engage past customers early in the year

You’re not introducing a new category — you’re expanding where cabinetry belongs.

Built-In, Semi-Custom, and Designed to Sell

Ideal Cabinetry’s semi-custom flexibility allows you to create garage layouts that:

• Maximize wall space
• Create visual order
• Deliver a clean, built-in look that feels permanent

When customers see cabinetry in the garage that looks as intentional as their kitchen or laundry room, the value becomes obvious — and the conversation shifts from “storage” to investment.

Why Rigid Tough Finish (RTF) Makes Sense in the Garage

Rigid Tough Finish (RTF) cabinetry is especially well suited for garage environments — and it’s a major selling advantage.

Darker RTF finishes like Onyx, Gray and Blue:

• Hide bumps, scuffs, and daily wear
• Are easy to clean and low-maintenance
• Perform well in active, high-use spaces

For homeowners, this means a garage that stays looking good without constant upkeep.

For dealers, it means a confident, easy-to-explain recommendation that sells itself.

The Gateway to More Sales

Garage projects often lead to more.

The same solutions translate seamlessly into:

• Laundry rooms
• Mudrooms
• Utility spaces
• Storage-heavy secondary areas

Once customers see the impact in their garage they start rethinking the rest of the home.

The Dealer Takeaway

Garage storage isn’t about learning something new, it's about selling smarter.

Built-in garage cabinetry gives dealers:

• A timely, relevant solution homeowners are already thinking about
• A premium alternative to temporary storage products
• A simple way to expand project scope and increase average order value

Sometimes growth doesn’t come from adding new products — it comes from selling existing ones in smarter places.
