What goes wrong with a cluttered garage if you wait
No room to park
Cars left outside in the rain and wind wear faster, and you lose the convenience of a covered entrance.
Pests and mould
Cardboard boxes stacked on a damp concrete floor attract rodents and grow mould.
Fire and safety hazards
Old paint, fuel, chemicals and piled up junk are a fire risk and a tripping hazard.
Wasted storage space
Without a plan, things get piled instead of stored, and it is hard to find anything.
Common jobs we take on
- Full garage cleanouts

How Lower Mainland weather affects a cluttered garage
In the Lower Mainland, garages are often damp in the winter. Cardboard and fabric stored on the floor wick up moisture and start to smell, and rodents look for dry places to nest in the colder months.
Metro Vancouver also has disposal rules for many items, like yard waste, paint, electronics, appliances and some renovation waste. We sort loads properly and take items to the right recycling depots, transfer stations and donation centres.
Warning signs to watch for
- You cannot park in the garage
- Boxes you have not opened in years
- Mould, dampness or droppings on the floor
- Old paint cans, chemicals or broken appliances
- Nowhere left to put anything
Maintenance tips
- Store items on shelves, off the concrete floor
- Use plastic bins instead of cardboard
- Do a quick purge every spring
- Dispose of old paint and chemicals at proper depots
- Install wall shelving so the floor stays clear
