Dwight Hundley has been playing guitar for 25 years. Usually, he and his bandmates jam in the family's sitting room, which isn't exactly what his wife Joshalyn had in mind for that space. So Brian Corsetti and his team of Garage Mahal experts turn their very typical two car garage into the ultimate rock and roll refuge. A fresh paint job with loud colors starts the transformation along with an easy roll out floor. The addition of overhead storage takes care of all the clutter, without taking up space. Professional sound gear, a loaded light truss fixed to the ceiling, and a space-saving fold down stage convert the garage from a place to park, into a place to play.

The Hayners have two problems...a dysfunctional garage filled with clutter and a craps table that has taken over their dining room. With the help of Brian Corsetti and the Garage Mahal crew the space normally reserved for parking cars and collecting clutter becomes the life of the party with a storage wall that neatly holds household items by day and with a simple move reveals a hidden party playhouse complete with custom Roulette and Blackjack tables that fold out of the wall, a lifelike view of the Las Vegas strip and a metal toolbox that pulls double duty when it transforms into a drink bar. And they'll put the fun in functional by giving the craps table a new home...in the ceiling. You can bet that unlike Vegas everyone will be talking about what happens here!

Anthony and Holly Mills' two car garage actually holds two cars, one motorcycle and tons of hobby stuff, from hunting gear to golf clubs. The problem isn't fitting everything in, it's using the space once it's filled. Brian Corsetti and his team of Garage Mahal experts help the Mills make the most of their small garage by adding dedicated storage for the motorcycle in an adjacent utility room, building narrow cabinetry with sliding doors, and constructing the first ever closet in the sky. The unique drop down closet stores bins flush to the ceiling and opens at the hit of a switch. Add to that a new floor, new paint, and a new spin on an old workbench, and you have one sleek Garage Mahal that functions as good as it looks.
