Looking to get your garage under control? Whether you want to create space for your gear, add a workbench, or simply park your car without stepping over storage bins, summer is a great time to take action. If you’ve been wondering what the process actually looks like when working with Valet on a custom system, this blog walks you through what to expect from start to finish and why starting now sets you up for success all year long.
Why Summer Is Prime Time for Home Organization Projects
Less Pressure, More Planning Power
Unlike the fall and winter months, summer gives you time to breathe. Without the holiday rush or back-to-school chaos, you can take your time to make thoughtful decisions, compare finishes, and really focus on how your storage needs align with your lifestyle.
Beat the Rush of Seasons Ahead
Custom projects take time. Starting now means your new system will be finished and fully functional before the school year, holidays, or winter weather hit. No scrambling later. Just clean, organized calm when you need it most!
What It's Like to Work with Valet on a Custom Storage Solution
Here’s what you can expect when you partner with us on a custom system, from the first call to the final walkthrough.
1. The Initial Consultation
Once you reach out to us, we’ll schedule a complimentary in-home consultation. One of our experienced designers will take detailed measurements, look at how you currently use your space, and talk through what’s working and what’s not. This is a completely personalized conversation, and your designer will be there to guide you every step of the way.
2. Design & Planning
After the consultation, your designer will put together a custom plan tailored to your space. You’ll review a 3D rendering so you can clearly visualize how your space will look and function. We’ll walk you through material and finish options, layout adjustments, and any custom features.
You’ll also receive a clear quote and installation timeline. Once you give us the green light, we’ll get your project into production.
3. What Happens After You Sign
Once your design is approved and a deposit is made, you will work with our scheduling team to set an installation date. Your custom storage solution is built right here in our Bay Area workshop. Every cabinet is made to order, and our team handles the fabrication, finishing, and quality control with precision.
4. Installation & Final Touches
Our in-house installers show up on time, work with care, and clean up thoroughly when the job is done. Most installations are completed in just a day or two, depending on the size and scope.
After installation, we’ll walk through the finished space with you to make sure everything meets your expectations. Once your final balance is paid, you’re all set and your new space is ready to be enjoyed!
Why Garage Projects Are So Popular in Summer
One of the most popular summer projects here at Valet is tackling the garage. Summer is the ideal time to reclaim this often-overlooked space. With warmer weather and longer daylight hours, it’s easier to sort, clean, and plan. Now is the perfect moment to finally take control of the clutter.
Whether you need to organize holiday gear while it’s not in use, create accessible zones for camping and sports equipment, or install a dedicated workbench for DIY projects, Valet’s custom garage systems offer smart, efficient solutions. Our designs go far beyond basic shelves. We create tailored layouts with heavy-duty cabinetry, specialty storage systems, and integrated workspaces, all built to match your needs and style. Once fall and winter roll in, your garage will already be clean, streamlined, and ready for the seasonal transition.
