Americans spent $2.5 billion in 2005 for garage remodels according to the National Association of Home Builders.

One of the hottest trends in today’s storage and organization market is garage makeovers. Once considered just a parking spot or catch-all for storage overflow, the garage is fast emerging as a livable addition to the home.

It’s also a great opportunity for door dealers to increase sales and profits. If you’re interested in this growing market, we have the answers to your questions.

Join us Jan. 26th for the door industry’s first ever WEBINAR with host Bill West.

Bill, author of Your Garagenous Zone- the Complete Garage Organizer Guide, will begin a three-part series about this emerging market. In Part 1, he will give a brief overview of the market including statistics. Part 2 will feature products and ideas. Part 3 will explore the entrepreneur and business aspects of the market.

Since the publication of Your Garagenous Zone in 1999, Bill has written numerous articles about the topic. His work has been featured in Professional Door Dealer, The Wall Street Journal, and This Old House. He has appeared on television and been a guest on nationally syndicated radio programs dedicated to home improvement.

Today, Bill consults with new homebuilders to establish a ‘show garage’ in association with model homes, and advises homeowners about how to achieve and create a functional garage. Bill also consults with garage remodeling and organizing companies.
