Post-Christmas renovations can be hard on the wallet, so consider organization as a key component! Just moving some things around and adding strategically placed shelves can make a big difference without costing a lot of money.

• Utilize wall space for storage using shelves, hooks, and racks to hang tools. Hang anything and everything to create as much floor space as possible.
• Don't forget about ceiling space! Creating a sliding storage system is easy and cheap - just grab a few plastic bins, build a simple sliding track, and you're good to go.
• Installing cabinets is another cheap way to create maximum storage space. You can buy pre-built ones and install them yourself, or even build your own!
• Sort what you have to organize by similarity. Labelling bins and keeping similar items in one place is super efficient and effective in keep your space clean!
• Here's a clever tip: use magnets! Attach a magnetic strip to a piece of wood and hang all of your smaller tools with ease.
• Downsize unnecessary items! Store leftover paint in mason jars that will take up less space than giant paint cans.

We sat down with a representative from Smart Garage to learn more about

 their company and innovative garage door.

How did your company get started?

Smart Garage was established in Canada in January 2012. The product was invented in Australia in 1956 and discovered by the Canadian founding member in 2006. We introduced the door to the public and it became a huge success at the BC Home and Garden show in 2008. After four years of development and re-engineering for the Canadian market, a new partnership took over the manufacturing and distribution of the product in Canada.

What inspires Smart Garage when making doors?

We’re inspired by a drive to make life easier, safer and hassle free for our clients. Our commitment to quality craftsmanship and local production establishes a foundation to create a unique product that is reliable and stands out from the competition.

Why choose Smart Garage products?

Traditional doors have hinges, wheels, cables and springs that constantly break and need repair. 80% of most garage doors companies’ business is service! We would never buy any other product in the world knowing that most other companies do more service calls than sales. It’s about time we had a garage door that made sense. More and more people are realizing what the rest of the world already knows, the Roll-Up-Door is the smartest choice in garage doors, hands down.
