Where can theTopLoft
units be mounted in my garage?
The TopLoft units can be
placed in most areas of the garage: front,
back and sides. The most common location is
inside the garage above the garage door.
Take a look at the amount of vertical space
between the metal tracks that the garage
door travels on and the ceiling. Our shelves
can be adjusted to hang from about 17" all
the way down to 28" from the ceiling,
avoiding interference with your garage door.
If there is not enough space above the open
garage door, the units can be mounted
somewhere else on the garage ceiling, such
as along the back or sides.
Our installer can make
recommendations when he arrives at your
house. We only require that we can locate
ceiling joists to properly secure the units.
We are able to install the TopLoft units in
almost all garages; it's just a matter of
where they go. Installation times are
generally for 9:30AM Monday through
Saturday. Afternoon appointments are
available on request. In the Sacramento
region, we have appointments available as
early as 5:30 AM.
How many units will fit
in my garage?
TopLoft ceiling units come
in 4'x4' sections. Typical installation is 2
to 4 units for a one-car garage, 4 units for
a two-car garage, and 6 units for a
three-car garage, thereby covering the width
of the garage. Many customers choose to add
more units once we install their initial
order, so our installers carry extra units.
You pay for what we install.
What about my garage door
opener?
No problem; almost all
garages have them. We mount the units to the
left and the right of the garage door opener
arm, leaving a small gap between the units
to allow the garage door arm to operate.
How long does it take to
install the TopLoft system?
Please allow 3 to 5 hours
for the installation process. Your garage
only has to be clear enough to allow access
to the ceiling areas where the units will be
installed. (We don't expect your garage
floor to be completely empty...that's why
you called us!) Once you discuss your layout
with the installer, he will begin
installation with your approval.
Can I install the units
myself?
We used to offer the units
along with installation kits, but found that
homeowners were spending a full day or more
trying to do it themselves, and in many
cases, were unable to complete the
installation. It typically takes our
professional staff 3-5 hours to complete an
installation, and that's with experience,
expertise, and the right tools. We now offer
our systems fully installed, and experience
has shown that the labor cost is well worth
it to avoid the hassle of trying to do it
yourself. Our professional installers secure
all units into ceiling joists with large lag
bolts to ensure the proper support.
Do you offer any other
kinds of units?
Our Monster Wall Shelves are
2'x4'. Monster Wall Shelves are a great way
to complement your overhead units. The
incredible 4'x5'TopLoft Supreme is a
heavy-duty version of overhead garage
storage. Although most garages are best
suited for the regular 4'x4'TopLoft units,
garages with extra high ceilings and
clearance can take the TopLoft Supreme
units.
How much storage does the
HyLoft system provide?
Each 4'x4' unit holds 250
pounds and 35 cubic feet, and can
accommodate 16 standard storage bins. A
4-unit system (16 feet wide) will hold 1,000
pounds of weight and 48 standard storage
bins. Each Monster Wall Shelf is 2'x4' and
can support 200 pounds.TopLoft Supreme units
are 4'x5' and can hold 300 pounds of
storage.
What are the units made
out of, and what is the warranty?
All the units are made out
of heavy-gauge steel and are finished in a
powder-coated white finish. The racks are
dipped in white rubber for a clean
professional finish. All our products come
with a limited lifetime warranty.
Can I get an estimate?
Since our pricing is fixed,
there is no need for an estimate. If you are
unsure of how many units you want/need,
order what you think you want. We will only
charge you for what we install.
How much do the units
cost?
Each 4'x4' TopLoft unit
costs $200 installed with a minimum 4-unit
order. If you order 3 units, each one is
$225, and if you order 2 units, each one is
$250. The Monster Wall Shelves cost $75
installed, and our SupremeTopLoft units cost
$300. Prices include parts and labor. We
accept Visa, Mastercard, and personal
checks.
Do you provide
installation in my area?
Golden Gate Enterprises
currently provides installation throughout
the San Francisco Bay Area and Greater
Sacramento Valley, operating out of regional
installation offices. We can install in
outlying or remote areas, but occasionally
have to add a modest trip charge to cover
extra time and gas.
We are moving soon...can
you help?
Many customers request
installation of theirTopLoft system before
they move so they have a place to store
things in their new home. We can work with
you to coordinate a date that is after your
closing of escrow and before you move.
Please contact us as early as possible so we
can reserve time for your installation.
How do I arrange for an
installation?
Call our main office at
800-305-1062. We will find a date that works
for you. We are booked about a week in
advance, so please plan ahead and we can
accommodate your schedule.
