Customer Story: Farrah P. opted for large cabinets and overhead storage in her garage. “We used Pittsburgh Garage to install overhead racks, shelving, and cabinets as well as grids on our garage walls in order to maximize storage. From the design to the installation, everything was seamless. Two gentlemen did the installation, Josh S. and Josh N. They arrived on time and were very professional. When installing the overhead racks they were sure to let us know there was a slight issue that was easily remedied but gave us the option between two fixes. We would definitely recommend this company!”
