DIY / Signature result — same garage, organized with Home Depot shelving and bins. Concept render on a sample garage — not a completed customer project.
A personalized plan and shopping list. You assemble and organize.
Send us photos of your garage and tell us what it needs to do. We measure from your photos, plan the zones, pick the exact shelves, bins, hooks and racks from Home Depot, Costco and IKEA, and hand you an organized shopping list with current prices. You buy, assemble and set it up on your own schedule.

The work, planned by us
Garage Organization
Organizers run $60–$75 an hour in Contra Costa and Alameda counties; a planned two-car organization project with new shelving and bins typically totals $900–$3,000.
Shelving & Storage Installation
Heavy-duty steel shelving units run $100–$300 each; overhead racks $150–$300 per 4×8 ft; track and slatwall systems $25–$200 per section. Installer labor is typically $60–$100 an hour in the East Bay.
DIY Organization FAQ
Do I have to buy from Home Depot, Costco or IKEA?
No. We default to them because the products are proven, returnable and nearby, but we will plan around what you already own or a brand you prefer.
What if my garage is a one-car or a tandem?
The plan scales. Tandem and one-car garages benefit most from vertical and overhead storage, which we prioritize.
Is Garage Reframe a contractor?
No. Garage Reframe is a design, planning and organization studio. For work that requires a license — painting, floor coatings, garage doors, electrical, HVAC — we introduce you to licensed, insured contractors who quote and bill you directly, and we keep the plan, selections and milestones organized in one place.
What does the service fee cover?
The design and planning work: layout and zone planning, concept renders, product selection with current prices, quote preparation, sequencing and your Studio project record. Products, hauling, installation and contractor work are separate and billed by the provider.
