Utility and storage room shelving, and new shelving where old shelves have given out.
Utility room and storage shelving in Carrabelle
Big Bend Services, Inc. supplies and installs wire shelving in Carrabelle, ZIP code 32322. A utility room or storage room can be shelved so it holds more and stays usable, and old shelving that has started to sag or come away from the wall can be replaced with new.
Closets, pantries, laundry rooms and garages are part of the same service, and one room or the whole house goes on one quote. Call (850) 819-6031, Monday to Friday, 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM, or send the form.
Utility rooms
Shelving a Carrabelle utility room
A utility room holds equipment as well as storage. The shelving goes around the equipment, not in front of it, so a repair visit does not start with emptying shelves.
The water heater
Leave the front of the tank and its valves open. Shelving goes on a wall to one side or behind the door.
The air handler and filter
The filter slot and the service panel on the air handler need open space in front, so shelves stay clear of both.
The electrical panel
The panel door has to open fully with the space in front of it clear, so shelving goes on another wall.
Tools and hardware
Heavy toolboxes on the lowest shelf, small parts in labeled bins at eye level, and spare filters and bulbs up high.
Cleaning supplies
Buckets, jugs and sprays on low shelves, where they are easy to lift down.
Storage rooms
Planning a storage room by what it holds
A storage room works when you can see what is in it. Shelves on every open wall, with bins sized to the shelves, turn a room of stacked boxes into one where each box has a place and a label facing out.
Holiday decorations
Large, light boxes on the top shelves, since they come down once or twice a year. Measure the biggest box so the top gap fits it.
Paperwork and records
File boxes on a middle shelf, where they can be pulled out and opened without a ladder.
Household spares
Paper towels, toilet paper and bulk cleaning goods on shelves near the door, where they are grabbed every week.
Outdoor and hobby gear
Coolers, bags and cases on the low shelves, where heavier or awkward things are easy to lift out.
A path to the back
Keep a clear walkway from the door to the far wall. Anything stored behind a pile gets forgotten.
Shared rooms
A utility room that is also the laundry
Where the washer and dryer share a room with the water heater or air handler, the shelving has to serve both jobs.
Over the machines
A shelf over the washer and dryer for baskets and detergent.
Beside the machines
A column of shelves in the gap between the dryer and the wall, for stain spray and softener.
A hanging rail
A short rail near the dryer for shirts, placed where it does not block the air handler door.
Two jobs, two sides
Laundry supplies on one side of the room and tools and paint on the other, so each job has its own shelves.
Old shelving
When old shelves sag
A rod that bends
A closet rod bowing under clothes can be replaced along with the shelf above it.
A chance to change the layout
Replacing shelving is a chance to move to adjustable shelf-and-rail or add levels the old layout never had.
Fixed or adjustable in a storage room
Fixed shelving is set at one height and suits a utility room where the same things stay in the same place. Adjustable shelf-and-rail lets the shelves move later, which suits a storage room whose boxes change size from one year to the next.
One room can have both: fixed shelves over the machines or around the equipment, and adjustable shelving on the wall that holds stored boxes.
Deciding what the new shelving should do
Before you call, look at how the old shelving was used. Were the heavy things spread along the shelf or piled in one spot? Were the shelves the right depth for what sat on them, or did boxes hang over the edge? Did you use every level, or was one too high to reach?
Tell us what the shelving held, what you wish it held, and anything you had to work around, and the replacement is planned from there.
Room by room
Replacing shelving in each kind of room
Bedroom closet
A single shelf and rod can come back as the same thing, or as double hanging on one side and a column of shelves for folded clothes.
Pantry
Old pantry shelves spaced evenly can be replaced with levels set for cans, boxes and appliances, so less space goes to waste.
Laundry room
A shelf over the machines that sags toward the dryer can be replaced at a height that clears the washer lid.
Linen closet
Old linen shelves set too far apart for your stacks can be replaced with closer levels.
Storage rooms
Old shelving in a storage room can be replaced wall by wall, starting with the wall that has failed.
Clearing a room before replacement
Empty the shelves you want replaced and the floor under them. Put the contents in another room, grouped by where they will go back, so the room can be filled again in order once the new shelving is in.
If something is too heavy to move, such as a freezer or a large toolbox, tell us where it sits and it can be worked around.
What else to send from Carrabelle
If you want the new layout to differ from the old one, a quick sketch of the room with the walls marked is useful. If a room has a floor drain or a pull-down attic ladder, say so, since shelving has to stay clear of both.
For gutters, a garage door or other work at the same house, use the Carrabelle services page.
