Tired of the chaos in your garage? You’re not alone. Many Sedona and Cottonwood homeowners use their garages as storage overflow, but without proper shelving, it can quickly become a hazard—or worse, a junk pile.
At Rio Verde Home Services, we help homeowners reclaim their space by installing custom garage shelving systems that are sturdy, functional, and built to last in Arizona’s climate.
Why Garage Shelving Matters

Clutter-Free Floors: Get tools, bins, and sports gear off the ground to prevent tripping hazards.
Better Organization: Know where everything is—fast.
More Storage Space: Use your garage walls and ceiling, not just the floor.
Pest Control: Elevating items makes it harder for critters to nest or chew, especially scorpions.
What We Recommend for Sedona/Cottonwood Garages
1. Wall-Mounted Shelves
Perfect for everyday items like toolboxes, paint cans, or cleaning supplies. We secure them into studs so they hold real weight.
2. Ceiling Racks
For items you use less often—seasonal decorations, camping gear, or storage tubs. Ideal for garages with higher ceilings.
3. Heavy-Duty Brackets & Materials
We choose materials that stand up to dry heat and temperature swings—no warping or sagging after a summer in Cottonwood.
4. Custom Layouts
We work with your garage's unique layout—water heaters, electrical panels, and sloped floors are all common here and we plan around them.
DIY vs Pro Install: What’s the Difference?
While DIY kits are available, we’ve seen too many fall short due to:
Improper anchors or leveling
Inadequate weight support
Wasted vertical space
We bring the right tools, know the wall types, and install it safely and securely—usually in just a few hours.
Real-World Example from Cottonwood:
“We helped a homeowner in Cottonwood turn a cluttered, single-car garage into a clean, organized workspace with wall shelves and overhead storage. The result? Room to park their car again.”
