Evanston is one of Calgary's newest and fastest-growing communities — large double-attached garages, 9 to 10 foot ceilings, and homes that were meant to be organized from day one. But moving into a new home is chaotic, growing families generate gear faster than storage systems can keep up, and somehow two years in, one of those two car spots is still occupied by moving boxes and a stroller collection. We help Evanston homeowners finally finish what the move started — a properly organized garage that actually works for daily life.
Evanston sits at the northern edge of Calgary near the Stoney Trail ring road, with easy access to 14 St NW, Cross Iron Mills, and Airdrie just north of the city limits. The community was developed in the 2000s and 2010s as part of Calgary's northern expansion, attracting young families, dual-income households, and new Canadians building roots in a well-connected new neighbourhood. The homes are large and the garages are generous — 20x22 or 22x22 double attached, with ceiling heights that older Calgary communities can only dream about. The problem is not the space. The problem is the stuff.
We understand the specific pattern of new-community garages: move in, stack everything, mean to organize it, never quite get to it. We cut through that backlog efficiently so you are not carrying it into year three, year four, and beyond. One day with us and the slate is clean.
Kids' gear changes constantly. The stroller-and-carseat phase gives way to bikes and scooters, which give way to hockey and skiing. We install flexible slatwall storage systems where hooks, bins, and shelves rearrange as your family's needs change — so the system grows with you instead of becoming obsolete in three years.
Evanston's 9 to 10 foot garage ceilings are a genuine advantage most homeowners are not using. We install overhead ceiling platforms for seasonal bins, holiday decorations, and bulky items that only need to be accessed a few times per year — freeing up your valuable floor and wall space for daily-use items.
Dual-income Evanston households need flexible scheduling. We offer weekend bookings and early morning starts so a garage organization project doesn't require taking a day off work. Call to discuss what timing works best for your household.
Evanston garages have great bones — the space and ceiling height are there. What's missing is a system. We bring the systems, the hardware, and the labour to turn that potential into a garage that actually works for your daily life.
This is the most common Evanston call we get: "We moved in two years ago and never properly organized the garage." Those original moving boxes contain everything from things you actually need to things you should have donated before the move. We work through every box and bin methodically with you, creating a clear, decided inventory rather than a pile of deferred decisions.
The right storage system for a young Evanston family needs to be flexible because the gear changes every two to three years. Slatwall panels are the answer: hooks, bins, and shelves that snap into a wall-mounted track system and rearrange without tools as your storage needs evolve. We install them properly anchored to studs, not just drywall, so they handle Calgary winters and heavy gear without sagging.
Those 9 to 10 foot ceilings in Evanston's newer homes mean serious overhead storage potential. We assess your ceiling joists, confirm the load ratings, and install platform storage systems that take seasonal bins, holiday decorations, camping gear, and winter tires completely off your floor — creating a clean, open garage underneath where two cars can actually fit.
New builds accumulate construction dust, drywall debris, and the general grime of years of use faster than most homeowners expect. A thorough clean before new storage goes in is part of a proper garage reset — and it makes the finished result dramatically more satisfying. We deep clean before we install so you are starting fresh in every sense.
Evanston was developed starting in the early 2000s as Calgary's northern growth corridor pushed toward the Airdrie border. The community sits in the northwest quadrant of the Stoney Trail ring road, with quick highway access north to Airdrie and Cross Iron Mills, east across Stoney Trail, and south along 14 St NW toward the established communities of Beddington Heights, Huntington Hills, and eventually downtown Calgary.
The homes here are predominantly newer builds — detached two-storey and bi-level homes with large double-attached garages, often 20x22 or 22x22 feet, with 9 to 10 foot ceiling heights that make overhead storage genuinely practical. These are not the cramped single-car structures of 1970s Calgary. They are well-designed spaces that simply need a thoughtful organization system to reach their potential.
The resident profile in Evanston skews younger than established NW Calgary communities: dual-income households, young families with multiple young children, and a significant number of new Canadians who have moved to Evanston for its newer housing stock and growing community infrastructure. These are busy households. The garage tends to get organized last — or not at all.
The move-in garage is a pattern we see constantly in Evanston. Everything that didn't have a clear place when you moved in went into the garage. Two years later, one car is parked permanently in the driveway, the kids' bikes are buried under boxes, and the strollers take up more floor space than the lawnmower. We fix exactly this situation, and we do it in a single day.

Real reviews from north Calgary neighbours in Evanston
"We moved into our Evanston home in 2022 and the garage was still basically a storage unit by early 2024. GarageScape came in, sorted through everything in a single day, and installed a wall system that has completely changed how we use the space. Both cars are finally inside for the first time. Absolutely worth it."
"Three kids means three times the gear and our Evanston garage was the casualty. Strollers, bikes, scooters, and hockey equipment everywhere. The team installed slatwall panels and an overhead platform and suddenly we have more floor space than we know what to do with. The overhead storage for seasonal bins alone was a game changer."
"My husband and I both work full time and the garage just kept getting worse every year. We booked GarageScape for a Saturday and they worked the whole day while we kept our toddler out of the way. By the end we had a clean, organized garage with a proper system. They also handled donating a full truckload of items we did not need."
Extremely normal in Evanston. When you move into a large new home, the garage becomes the default destination for everything that doesn't yet have a place. Two years later those same boxes are still there because every weekend there is something more pressing. We show up with a system, work through it methodically with you, and leave the garage functional the same day.
That ceiling height is a genuine advantage over older Calgary homes and we make full use of it. We typically install ceiling-mounted overhead storage platforms for seasonal items and bulky bins, slatwall panels for active gear and tools, and freestanding shelving for frequently accessed items. The overhead platforms alone can take hundreds of kilograms of seasonal storage completely off the floor.
Growing-family garages are our specialty in Evanston. We design flexible slatwall storage systems where hooks, bins, and shelves rearrange easily as your family's needs change — so the system works for the stroller-and-toddler phase today and the bike-and-scooter phase in two years without a complete reinstall.
Yes. We offer weekend bookings and early morning starts. We understand that Evanston families are busy and try to be flexible with scheduling so you don't need to take a day off work to get the garage done. Call to discuss what timing works best.
A double attached garage with move-in backlog typically takes 6 to 8 hours. If there are many unopened boxes, we may recommend a two-stage approach: an initial sort session followed by a storage installation day. We give you an honest estimate at the free quote stage so you can plan your time accordingly.
Yes. We regularly serve Kincora, Nolan Hill, Sherwood, Sage Hill, Carrington, and other north Calgary communities. If you are in the northern part of the city near Stoney Trail or 14 St NW, we cover your neighbourhood. Call to confirm your specific address.
