Across Florida, Texas, and Georgia, a growing number of homeowners are finding inspiration in an unexpected place, their garages. Once used primarily for storage or parking, these spaces are now being reimagined as functional, creative extensions of the home.
From custom epoxy flooring to built-in storage cabinets and workstations, Americans are turning garages into fitness studios, hobby workshops, home offices, and entertainment areas. The trend reflects a broader shift toward maximizing every inch of living space, especially in fast-growing states where remote work, active lifestyles, and home improvement culture are thriving.
At the forefront of this transformation is GarageExperts, a national franchise known for its customized garage flooring systems, cabinetry, and organization solutions. The company’s success illustrates how personal creativity has become a business opportunity for entrepreneurs eager to serve this expanding market.
“Each of these new owners represents what makes GarageExperts so special: they are hardworking, service-oriented professionals who believe in delivering quality work and building lasting relationships,” said Mike Mushinski, President of GarageExperts. “Our franchise family continues to grow because people see the opportunity to build a rewarding, scalable business while helping homeowners get more from their garage space. We’re thrilled to welcome Charles, Shaun, Lucius, and Mehmet to the GarageExperts network.”
A Booming Market in the South
States like Florida, Texas, and Georgia, where suburban development and homeownership continue to climb, have become hotspots for garage customization. In these regions, garages are evolving from cluttered utility spaces into organized, stylish environments that add both property value and quality of life.
Local contractors and designers report rising demand for:
- Durable, decorative floor coatings that combine aesthetics with functionality.
- Modular cabinet systems that transform storage into sleek design features.
- Customized layouts for fitness, creative, or automotive enthusiasts.
The momentum behind garage innovation isn’t just aesthetic, it’s economic. Home improvement spending in the U.S. exceeded $450 billion in 2024, according to industry estimates, and the garage segment continues to see some of the fastest growth.
For entrepreneurs, the appeal lies in combining craftsmanship, community service, and profitability, a mix that has fueled the expansion of GarageExperts franchises across the country.
As Mushinski notes, “People see the opportunity to build a rewarding, scalable business while helping homeowners get more from their garage space.”
Whether it’s a sleek new epoxy floor in Orlando, a climate-controlled workshop in Houston, or a fully organized garage in Atlanta, Americans are proving that innovation begins right at home, often behind a garage door.
