A garage isn’t just a place to park vehicles or store tools—it’s part of everyday life. From morning routines and weekend projects to sports practices and holiday prep, the garage plays a role in how families function. At Force 5 Garage Solutions, we believe a garage should be more than just usable—it should be safe and accessible for every family member. That includes kids, teens, parents, and even grandparents.
In Houston, where homes are as diverse as the families living in them, our custom storage and organization systems help create garage environments that are welcoming, efficient, and free from hazards. Our solutions are tailored for real people with real routines, and it all starts with thoughtful planning and purpose-driven design.
Designing Around the People Who Use the Space
Every safe and accessible garage begins with a solid plan. Our approach starts with our 3D design process, which allows us to visualize your garage’s layout and design a system around how your household actually uses the space. We look at walking paths, high-traffic zones, areas that need childproofing, and storage needs across all age groups.
By understanding the daily flow and physical needs of everyone in the household, we create zones that work. Maybe you need a lower storage solution for kids’ gear. Maybe someone in your home needs a wide, clear path for safe mobility. Whatever the case, we plan for it.
Clear the Floor, Clear the Risk
The biggest safety issue in garages? Clutter on the floor. Boxes, tools, and gear left on the ground increase the risk of trips, falls, and accidents. That’s why we focus heavily on smart vertical and overhead storage.
Our garage shelving helps lift bins, tools, and household supplies off the floor and into neat, reachable sections. Everything is organized, visible, and easy to access without creating obstacles. For even more flexibility, we often pair shelving with garage slatwall systems, which offer adaptable panels to hang everything from extension cords to backpacks and helmets.
With these systems in place, the floor stays clear, reducing hazards and making the space easier to navigate for everyone—from little ones to older adults.
Enclosed Storage for Safety and Peace of Mind
For items that need to be locked away or kept out of sight, our garage cabinets offer a secure, enclosed storage solution. Whether you're storing chemicals, power tools, cleaning products, or valuable gear, cabinets keep dangerous or sensitive items safely behind closed doors.
The beauty of custom cabinetry is that it doesn't just improve safety—it also boosts aesthetics. Our coordinated product design selection allows clients to choose finishes that match the rest of the garage system, creating a seamless look that ties it all together.
Cabinets also reduce visual clutter, helping reduce stress and distractions for households juggling work, school, and day-to-day responsibilities.
Make Use of Every Inch: Smart Overhead Storage
In garages where square footage is at a premium, we always look to the ceiling. Our garage overhead storage systems include stationary ceiling-mounted overhead racks that safely store large, infrequently used items up and out of the way.
This is a game-changer for families with seasonal gear, camping supplies, or decorations that only come out once or twice a year. By keeping these items stored safely overhead, you reclaim walking space while keeping your most-used items within easy reach.
We ensure every rack is installed with expert care and adjusted based on your garage's layout, ceiling clearance, and usage patterns.
Easy Access to Everyday Gear
Busy families don’t have time to hunt for what they need. That’s why we make sure daily essentials are stored where they’re needed most. Our garage bicycle storage options allow bikes to hang vertically or be suspended from racks, making them easy to grab and go—especially for kids and teens.
We also design sports zones, tool stations, and hobby spaces that keep items organized and at the appropriate height and depth for those who use them most. No more dangerous piles of equipment or awkward lifts—just smart access, safely arranged.
Safety Underfoot: Coated Floors That Perform
A smooth, slip-resistant floor is one of the most important safety features a garage can offer. Our garage floor coatings protect your concrete while creating a surface that’s durable, safe, and easy to clean.
Our four-step process includes:
- Prepared concrete – Diamond grinding removes imperfections and opens the surface for strong adhesion.
- Polyurea/epoxy base coat – A resilient base that resists cracking, chipping, and wear.
- Layer of decorative chips – Adds texture for better traction and a clean, modern appearance.
- Polyurea top coat – A UV-stable, chemical-resistant seal that protects against stains, moisture, and aging.
A coated floor minimizes dust, resists spills, and offers better visibility for small objects that might otherwise go unnoticed and become a hazard.
Systems That Grow with Your Family
What works today might not work five years from now—and that’s okay. Our systems are built to evolve. With modular components and reconfigurable accessories, we can adjust shelving heights, reposition wall storage, and update zones to accommodate new needs.
As children grow, hobbies change, and routines shift, your garage shouldn’t hold you back. With thoughtful planning and versatile products, it can move with you. Our 3D design process allows you to visualize how your space will function now—and how it can adjust later without needing a full overhaul.
Designed with Accessibility in Mind
Accessibility isn't just about mobility—it’s about convenience, comfort, and inclusion. We think through everything from how high hooks should be mounted to how wide walkways need to be for safe passage. We avoid over-reliance on steps or stools and create systems that reduce strain and make daily tasks easier.
We also offer options for locking storage, soft-close doors, and surfaces that minimize glare and reflection—small touches that make a big difference for families with young children, aging parents, or anyone with sensory or mobility considerations.
