Review of our product by blogger Ashley Quintero

WHERE WE STARTED

In 2005 GarageSkins Inc. founder and product developer Rick Medlen had a modest home built in Creswell, Oregon and really wanted a nice, solid wood carriage house styled garage door. But the best price he could find was $8500, so he did what millions of Americans have done, namely settled for a boring metal overhead door. But his engineering background kicked in and after several attempts, he finally hit on a great solution – real wood veneers bonded to very lightweight underlayments with incredibly strong rare earth magnets inset into the back to make it very easy for anyone to install.

WE LOVE CHALLENGES

7 years of prototyping, lab and real-world testing, education and partnerships have brought us to a point

where our amazing GarageSkins systems are ready for market! We’ll be adding a section soon with our lab testing results… but the real world systems we have in place are holding up incredibly well, and have survived hurricanes and even people crunching into garage doors! With advisors on board that have led very large manufacturing companies, a committed team deeply engaged in launching this product, and amazing partners surrounding us to provide great raw materials and services, we are excited to finally be able to provide a real solution for what’s been a pretty large hole in the home improvement marketplace – dressing up an existing garage door without replacement or breaking the bank. We’ll be adding lots of before and after images as we grow, so be sure to check back often. If you decide to transform your beautiful home with one of our GarageSkins systems, please send your own

before-and-after shots!

HELPING THE ENVIRONMENT

While dressing up a home’s exterior may not seem like a path to shepherding our environment, many of our customers will choose our solution to garage door enhancement over replacement with a real wood or wood-clad door. This choice will greatly decrease the industry’s reliance on forest-depleting woods being harvested, especially hardwoods that are typically sourced from developing nations where harvesting oversight is minimal at best. Even converting 10% of the real wood door replacement sales to an add-on overlay system made of foam and veneers would save 8,500,000 board feet of harvested wood annually. With our GarageSkins

systems using very thin veneers harvested from domestic farmed crops,  we will effectively save 75,000 trees annually from depletion.

In addition, using our systems will keep steel doors out of the waste stream, as our solution requires no replacement of your existing door. This saves fuel usage, transportation, power required to recycle the metal, and keeps an already perfectly good garage door

where it should be – firmly on your beautiful home! All of these things combined make using our GarageSkins systems to enhance your door not only the right choice, but also the smart one.

HELPING HUMANS

With over 20 years of volunteer work at Habitat for Humanity, both in Eugene, Oregon (Board President for 2 years) and at the Oregon state level (Board President, Habitat for Humanity of Oregon) our founder believes strongly in giving a helping “hand up” to those hard-working people that are stuck between social services being available and having enough income to sustain and thrive their families.

To help cure this, as GarageSkins, Inc. becomes successful, we will contribute financially to local Habitat for Humanity chapters throughout our market areas, making contributions based on sales volume. We are excited to use the profits from an amazing company built around an amazing product to reach out and help amazing families grow and thrive!

OUR VISION

GarageSkins, Inc. will grow into a strong national entity that provides affordable, high quality home improvement products and delivers excellent value to our customers and investors.
