Organization is everything when it comes to a successful garage sale. Weeks of gathering items to sell, inspecting and cleaning them, and deciding on a price give way to setting out displays for easy viewing by potential buyers. But garage sale experts know that’s not where it starts.
Your first task is to consider what’s needed to ensure the location of your sale is in top-notch shape for your sale.
- Declutter your garage – If you are like many homeowners, your garage is the catch-all for everything from winter salt and work boots to bird seed and bags of fertilizer. Find homes for these loose items and put away anything that can be stored off the floor and out of sight.
- Get large items out of your garage – Removing the snowblower, large garden tools, the lawnmower, and bicycles will free up the space you need for folding tables to display sale items. Move these items to a shed or check with a neighbor about storing them temporarily.
- Clean and inspect your garage – Sweep out the garage, clear out leaves and cobwebs and inspect the floor, walls, and ceiling for repair needs. Address cracks or crumbling in the floor that could cause a trip hazard and secure loose boards and wires in the ceiling and walls.
- Schedule your garage door checkup with Great Garage Doors – A malfunctioning garage door can ruin a garage sale, but keeping your door and opener in top condition is important no matter how you use your garage. A maintenance check from Great Garage Doors can help you avoid garage door emergencies.
