Your Sun City Garage Needs to Work as Hard as You Do
You've downsized to Georgetown's Sun City for the lifestyle—but your two-car garage is still packed with decades of memories, golf gear, and holiday decorations. The walk to the freezer feels like an obstacle course.
The real cost of waiting: Without proper organization, you're wasting square footage you paid premium prices for, and the clutter becomes a tripping hazard in a community designed for safe, comfortable living.

- Sun City's 55+ community requires accessible designs—pull-out drawers at waist height, non-slip flooring, and easy-grip handles
- Georgetown's extreme heat means garage cabinets must withstand 130°F+ summer temperatures without warping or delaminating
- Historic downtown homes have original butler's pantries with odd dimensions that require custom millwork, not off-the-shelf solutions
- Wolf Ranch HOAs regulate what's visible from the street—garage door windows mean your storage system needs to look clean
Georgetown cost factors to budget for
Questions to ask Georgetown contractors
Use these to separate experienced local pros from generalists who don't know the area.
- 1 Are your cabinet materials rated for sustained temperatures above 120°F?
- 2 Do you have experience with Sun City's architectural review process?
- 3 Can you show me examples of historic pantry retrofits you've completed in Williamson County?
Best time to start
Schedule garage projects for October-March when temperatures stay below 90°F—adhesives and sealants cure properly and you won't be working in a 140°F garage.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need permits for garage cabinets in Georgetown?
Generally no—built-in storage systems don't require permits. However, if you're adding electrical for a workbench or moving plumbing for a utility sink, you'll need City of Georgetown permits. Sun City has additional architectural review for exterior-visible changes.
What materials hold up best in a Texas garage?
Powder-coated steel and thermally-fused melamine rated for high temps outperform raw wood. Avoid particle board—it swells in Georgetown's humidity fluctuations. Many Sun City homeowners prefer stainless steel for its durability and clean look.
Can you retrofit a 1920s Georgetown pantry without gutting it?
Yes—skilled installers preserve original millwork while adding modern pull-outs, lazy Susans, and LED lighting. The key is working with the existing footprint rather than fighting the home's character.
