Our Founding Story
Founded by John Sloane, a seasoned garage door expert, Garage Adviser was born out of a simple yet profound need: empowering homeowners to address urgent garage door issues themselves. During his extensive career, John noticed a recurring theme—clients wanted to learn how to fix their garage doors promptly to avoid waiting for professional help, especially when they were pressed for time. This led to the inception of Garage Adviser, a consulting firm dedicated to assisting homeowners via phone or video call, available 24/7, to quickly and efficiently solve their garage door problems.
But Garage Adviser isn’t just about swift fixes. Our founder also recognized a growing interest among homeowners to transform their garages into more than just storage spaces. From home gyms and offices to music studios and cozy lounges, the possibilities seemed endless. With his deep understanding of garage dynamics, combined with formal training in home renovation and interior decor, John envisioned a service that would guide homeowners through the entire process of repurposing their garages—this vision shaped the second core function of our consultancy.
