Garage Reset pricing is based on garage size and overall density of contents.

Heavy-density garages, excessive loose items, construction materials, or attic/storage overflow may require a Heavy Garage adjustment. Final scope is confirmed on arrival before work begins.

Yes — we move standard household garage items including shelving, bins, tools, bikes, and moderate-weight equipment.

Extremely heavy items (large safes, commercial equipment, etc.) may require special handling and will be reviewed in advance.

If your garage includes attic or overhead storage, let us know in advance. Accessing and reorganizing overhead storage may require additional time and will be reviewed as part of scope confirmation.

We sweep and leave the space clean and functional. This is not a detailing service. We do not pressure wash, paint, epoxy floors, or provide construction services.

Loose hardware is consolidated and organized into containers when appropriate. If items are no longer useful, we’ll confirm before discarding.

The goal is to create function and space — not to pack everything back in. If there is more inventory than space allows, we’ll walk through options with you:

- Reduce

- Store differently

- Add simple storage solutions

You stay in control of the decisions.

No custom carpentry or fabrication. We focus on practical organization using accessible, retail storage solutions. If you’d like custom cabinetry or build-outs, we’re happy to refer trusted local partners.

Final payment is collected at the commencement of the job once the scope is confirmed. We accept all major credit cards.

Yes. Many clients schedule a Reset before cabinet or flooring installation to ensure the space is cleared and ready.

That’s exactly why this service exists.

We follow a simple system:

- Empty

- Sort

- Zone

- Rebuild with intention

You don’t need a plan — that’s what we bring.

Mike's Garage Transformations may perform your service directly or through a Mike's Garage Transformations Certified Garage Therapist.

Certified Garage Therapists are independently owned business owners who have completed our certification program and follow our systems, customer service standards, safety procedures, and garage transformation process.

Whether your project is completed by Mike's Garage Transformations or a Certified Garage Therapist, you can expect the same professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to delivering an exceptional experience.

A Certified Garage Therapist is a trained professional who has successfully completed the Mike's Garage Transformations certification program.

Certified Garage Therapists are trained in our proven transformation process, organization systems, customer care standards, and safety procedures to ensure every client receives the high-quality experience our brand is known for.

Mike's Garage Transformations does not directly provide junk removal or donation hauling services.

If your assigned Certified Garage Therapist also owns a hauling or donation business, they may provide a separate, no-obligation quote for removing any items you have designated as junk or donations.

You are never required to use that service. You're welcome to use any hauling company you choose, schedule a donation pickup, dispose of the items yourself, or keep everything.

Any hauling or donation services are separate from your garage transformation and are arranged directly with the service provider.

During the garage reset, items are clearly sorted and organized. Anything you decide to donate or dispose of will be placed neatly into heavy-duty contractor bags or a designated area.

If your household garbage bins are empty, we can place approved items there. For larger amounts, we can help coordinate donation pickup or hauling through trusted partners, or make other arrangements on a case-by-case basis.

Hauling and disposal are not included by default and are handled separately to keep the process flexible and transparent.

No custom cabinetry. If you choose, we can install simple, practical storage—such as bins, shelving, hooks, and wall-mounted systems—using off-the-shelf solutions purchased by the homeowner.

We confirm scope and pricing on arrival before work begins. If the garage requires additional time due to heavy or bulky items not visible in the photos, we’ll review any Heavy Garage adjustment with you first. Nothing starts without your approval.

Most garages are completed in one day. We reserve one full day per client to ensure the job is done properly and without rushing.

A $199 reservation deposit is required to hold your date and is applied to your final bill. The deposit is fully refundable if you cancel at least 48 hours before your scheduled date. Cancellations within 48 hours may result in forfeiture of the deposit due to reserved time.

We’ll help you decide exactly what storage makes sense and provide a simple shopping list if needed. Storage is purchased by the homeowner to keep costs transparent and flexible.

Yes. As part of our normal operating procedures, we may photograph or record portions of the transformation before, during, and after the project for documentation, training, quality control, and marketing purposes.

If you prefer that your project not be used for marketing, simply let us know before work begins and we'll gladly honor your request.

You don’t need to be present the entire day, but we do recommend being available during the clear-out phase.

At the start, we’ll review the plan together and identify:

- Keep

- Donate

- Dispose

Once those categories are clear, most clients step away while the work continues. I’ll flag any questions that need your input so the process keeps moving without slowing things down.

This approach keeps the day efficient and stress-free.

Yes. Mike’s Garage Transformations is fully insured for residential work.

You’re not alone—and there’s no judgment here. Most garages we work on have been avoided for years. Our job is to make it functional again, not make anyone feel uncomfortable.

We currently serve North County San Diego area, but may go beyond on a case-by-case basis. If you’re unsure whether you’re within our service area, feel free to ask.
