The Garage Log: Smarter, safer, better garages start here.

Your garage can do more—and so can you. From stuck doors to clutter wars, we’ve seen it, fixed it, and logged it. Expect field-tested maintenance guides, clear troubleshooting, organization that actually works, and gear picks we’re willing to use in our own homes. Need help right now? Contact The Garage Log.

Fresh from The Garage Log

Hands-on fixes, safety-first checklists, organizer breakdowns, and tool tests—written by editors who torque, level, and measure in real garages. We keep instructions tight, highlight common mistakes, and link to sources when we cite specs. Want something covered? Tell us what’s on your bench.

About The Garage Log

We’re homeowners, technicians, and organizers who live in the space between sawdust and socket sets. Our team brings decades of combined experience in residential garage care—from door balance and opener diagnostics to flooring, lighting, storage, and safety. We test projects in real garages, document what works, and share the pitfalls we’ve learned the hard way. Shortcuts are earned, not guessed.

How we earn your trust: we verify steps against manufacturer manuals and relevant standards when applicable; we flag hazards clearly (torsion springs and high-tension parts demand pros); we disclose affiliate relationships; and we never sell placement in our recommendations. If we can’t reproduce a result, we don’t publish it. Found something we should correct or improve? Reach our editors here.
