Fire safety precautions are a top priority - we'll install smoke detectors and fire extinguishers, and store flammable items in a designated fireproof cabinet.

Regular maintenance tasks will also become a habit, like weekly sweeps and cleaning of the garage floor, inspecting storage containers for wear and tear, and checking for leaks and water damage.

By prioritizing safety and maintenance, we'll make certain our garage remains a safe and functional haven for years to come.

It's time to get serious about keeping our garage in top shape!
