Garage Storage Enhancements for Your Long Beach Rental

Why aren’t cars parked in the garage? Maybe it is the great weather? Maybe it’s that direct access isn’t always available? Maybe it’s that we are always on the go and waiting for the garage door just takes too long. Whatever the reason may be we see the lack of using a garage for parking a car as an opportunity to enhance your rental to encourage tenants to stay even longer. Consider the following methods you could apply to your garage space of your Long Beach rental:

Overhead garage storage is a rack system that is connected to the wall studs in the ceiling of your garage. These systems are adjustable in height and can generally accommodate over 100 lbs of items. When tenants see these types of systems they can envision storing their seasonal decorations or even items they previously had in storage which encourages them to stay longer in your rental.

One of the most common systems is by FlexiMounts and they can be found at Home Depot and provide for flexible sizing. For less than $200 it is a great solution to provide added value to your rental.

When you are in Southern California there is no doubt that one of the motivating factors is to enjoy the near year-round great weather. To help your tenants stay in your rental for the long-haul and enjoy the weather with the activities they enjoy consider installing a few equipment specific storage systems. The two most common we have found to be popular are bike racks and surfboard racks.

• Bike Rack - There are many different bike rack solutions that you could install in your garage. One that we have found is cost effective and allows for a slim profile (i.e. it doesn’t take up much space) is the steady rack system. You can purchase these individual racks and have them installed to allow your tenant to store a few bikes (we’d recommend at least two). The unique system has a swivel that allows the bike to sit nearly flush with the wall saving valuable space.

• Surfboard Rack - Surfboards are one of the larger items that a tenant could need to store. Having a spot in your garage where a tenant could store their boards may make it very challenging for them to ever want to leave your place. Consider a wall mount system for the surfboards that you can find on Amazon to help your tenant see that your rental is the place they want to stay.
