We’ve flipped the switch
When we introduced In The Garage in September 2014, we said we had “flipped the switch” and were ready to organize Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois one room at a time. We were excited to bring helpful, local service to customized storage. That is still a good description of why we do this work.
The company today
In The Garage is the garage organization division of Peterson Roofing and Home Improvement. Ryan Peterson works alongside his father, Jody, with cabinets, slatwall and floor coatings at the center of the garage offering.
