The garage is one of the most frequently used entry points in a home. Whether it's storing bikes, grabbing tools, or heading out to school or work, the garage sees daily traffic from every member of the household. At Elite Garage & Closets, we believe the garage should be more than functional—it should be safe, accessible, and easy for everyone in your home to navigate.
For families across Raleigh and Greensboro, the right garage setup can reduce tripping hazards, streamline organization, and give each person the space they need to move freely and efficiently. That's why we focus on designing garage organization systems that support comfort, safety, and convenience for all ages and abilities.
Designing Around Real-Life Movement
Every household is different. Some garages are shared by multi-generational families, while others serve as hybrid storage zones for sports, hobbies, tools, and outdoor equipment. Before we recommend any product or layout, we start with a consultation and walk-through, followed by our 3D design process, which allows us to create a detailed, custom layout tailored to how your family moves through the garage.

We take into account:
- Entry and exit flow
- Height and accessibility needs
- Potential safety hazards
- Areas for shared vs. individual storage
This approach helps us design spaces that work for small children, aging adults, and everyone in between—without compromising style or efficiency.
Securing Belongings with Cabinets and Shelving
Clutter on the floor is one of the biggest safety risks in any garage. Our garage cabinets and garage shelving help eliminate that risk by creating structured zones for storage. Cabinets provide enclosed, lockable compartments to secure sharp tools, chemical cleaners, or seasonal gear, keeping them out of reach of children or pets.

Garage shelving adds open, visible storage for items used frequently, like reusable grocery bags, outdoor toys, or yard equipment. With proper placement, shelves and cabinets make it easier to separate adult tools from kid-safe zones, improving overall garage accessibility.

When everything has a place, there’s less risk of injury—and far less stress trying to find what you need.
Keeping the Floor Clear and Slip-Resistant
A clean, stable surface goes a long way in preventing accidents. That’s why our garage floor coatings are a popular upgrade for safety-conscious homeowners. The process begins with prepared concrete, which we grind to remove uneven spots and fill in any cracks. We follow with a polyurea/epoxy base coat, add a layer of decorative chips for visual texture, and seal it all with a polyaspartic top coat.

These coatings offer excellent traction and hold up against spills, weather, and wear over time. For families who want a modular option, our interlocking garage floor tiles provide a clean, stable surface with customizable colors and configurations.

Whether you’re pushing a stroller, rolling in a trash can, or riding a scooter out to the driveway, a smooth garage floor makes movement easier and safer for everyone.
Creating Accessible Vertical Storage
Not all storage should live at eye level. For families with children, elderly members, or individuals with limited mobility, accessibility matters. That’s why we offer garage slatwall systems, which allow for flexible height configurations using hooks, baskets, and shelves.

These systems make it easy to store:
- Lightweight gear within reach of younger users
- Frequently used tools and accessories in safe, visible locations
- Less-used items up and out of the way
We can also combine garage shelving and garage cabinets at various heights to make essential items easier to access. Instead of one-size-fits-all solutions, our designs account for everyone who uses the space.
Making Room for Bikes and Gear
One of the most common sources of garage clutter is recreational gear. Bikes, scooters, and helmets end up piled in corners, creating tripping hazards or damaging expensive equipment. Our garage bicycle storage systems are the fix.
These solutions include wall-mounted racks, vertical hooks, and space-saving lifts that keep bikes secure and off the ground. The goal is to make bikes easy to store and retrieve for everyone, from children riding around the cul-de-sac to adults commuting by bike.
By assigning a dedicated space to each item, we make it easier to keep the garage tidy and safe without compromising convenience.

Smart Overhead Storage that Stays Out of the Way
Sometimes, the safest place for bulk storage is overhead. We offer several garage overhead storage options, including:
- Stationary ceiling-mounted overhead racks
- Motorized storage overhead racks
- Vehicle hard top lifters
These solutions are ideal for long-term storage, like holiday decorations, camping gear, or spare tires. Because they're installed above traffic zones, they don’t interfere with daily movement—but they still allow for easy access when needed.
Motorized racks are especially helpful for individuals who need to avoid climbing ladders or lifting heavy items. A push-button lift can bring storage down to a reachable height, offering both safety and accessibility in one smart solution.

Creating Zones for Different Family Needs
The key to a truly accessible garage is creating zones. One side might house tools and lawn equipment, while another is reserved for kids’ bikes and toys. Designated drop zones for shoes, bags, and groceries near the door make coming and going easier, especially for families juggling work, school, and activities.
With our coordinated product design selection, we can create a look that ties everything together while still maintaining clear function. Every member of the family gets what they need, and the garage looks like it was professionally planned—because it was.

Extending Organization Beyond the Garage
Once the garage is safe and streamlined, it often makes sense to bring the same logic indoors. That’s why we offer indoor storage and organization solutions designed to bring order to:
- Walk-in closets and reach-in closets
- Laundry rooms with overhead cabinets and sorting stations
- Home office spaces with built-in desks and file systems
- Kitchen pantries designed for clear visibility and access
Just like in the garage, we tailor these spaces to real-life use, ensuring that accessibility, safety, and daily ease come first.
