Garage organization in Bakersfield doubles usable home space.

Our Picks
Common Organization Systems in Bakersfield
agricultural-county adjacency means more outdoor and shed work. Three system types we install most:
- Overhead racks (FlexiMount, SafeRacks) — store seasonal items above. 4x8 ft racks hold 600 lb. Free up wall + floor space.
- Slatwall systems (StoreWALL, Proslat) — modular hooks, baskets, shelves. Reconfigurable for tools, sports gear, garden.
- Custom shelving + workbench — built-in cabinetry, wood workbench, pegboard. The premium organization tier.
Joist Mounting Matters
Overhead racks must mount into ceiling joists, never just drywall. We use lag bolts into structural framing. Pre-2000 garages often have 2x6 joists at 16" centers — easy mount. Newer garages with 2x8 trusses at 24" centers need specific bracket spacing.
Slatwall Install on Stucco/Drywall
lower density means generous garages, workshop spaces, and DIY culture Slatwall mounts directly to studs through drywall. Stucco walls need different anchors. We bring both stud-mount lag screws and concrete sleeve anchors for Kern County typical garage construction.
