Goal: Organized, spacious and clean. If the garage is not being used for storage, keep cars in the garage and not in the driveway. For an open house park extra cars away from the house

  • Garage floors swept and hosed down
  • Light switches and fixtures
  • Windows and doors sparkling
  • Shelves
  • Garbage cans inside and out
  • Organizing the contents on shelves or in containers (if the garage is being used for storage everything must be neat, tidy and away from the walls)

Remove or Store

  • Anything you would not normally see in a garage
  • Use bins and containers for supplies and storing – stack and label
  • Extra tools and paints, dispose of appropriately

Replace or Repair

  • All doors that do not swing/slide smoothly
  • Light fixtures that do not work, are dated, too small or are broken
