"National Garage Organization Month™ is a great reality check to ensure your garage space is working for you," said Karl Champley, do-it-yourself expert and Gladiator brand spokesperson. "The more organized the garage space is, the more efficient you are with building projects and simply living a more streamlined and happier lifestyle. We all have a choice. Walk into a wall of clutter or walk into an organized space knowing where everything is."

Garage organization comes in many shapes and sizes, from tight spaces with cluttered junk to overused work areas. Whether the winner of a consumer sweepstakes, the surprise garage makeover for a U.S. soldier, or an everyday homeowner conquering the clutter, there are many great garage makeover stories to share. Check out a few memorable recent garage makeovers, including:

  --  The grand prize winner of the Gladiator® GarageWorks "Chaotic and
      Cramped" competition, a nationwide search for the "most chaotic and
      cramped garage in America," Dan Leslie said "I'm still thrilled every
      time I open the door to my garage. It was exciting to explore,
      separate and re-organize a lifetime of stuff. It's a lot of fun when
      we have visitors since they all want to see the makeover and we're
      always proud to show off the results."

  --  U.S. soldier Jon Palmer received a wonderful surprise when he returned
      home from flying a cargo plane mission that delivered supplies around
      the world over Thanksgiving 2009. Jon's clutter in the garage had
      grown out of control from his motorcycle and hunting hobbies, so his
      wife had their garage organized with Gladiator® GarageWorks products.
      Jon was in complete awe and it truly was a Thanksgiving to remember.

  --  For everyday mom Stacey Snyder, the garage has always been more than
      just a place to park the car. When she moved into her new home, she
      decided to take matters into her own hands creating zones for storage,
      sports equipment, tools and children's toys. Stacy chose Gladiator
      brand products for their durability, functionality and style and
      because she could create her dream garage at her own pace and budget,
      installing the system herself.
