The Origin of Hello Garage
Our Story
Where We Began
Hello Garage was born from a simple but powerful realization: the garage is one of the largest and most underutilized spaces in the home—and homeowners were ready for better solutions.
The brand’s roots trace back to the success and experience of Thrasher Foundation Repair and Supportworks, a family-owned company founded in 1975 that built a national reputation for helping homeowners solve complex problems through specialized home services. Over decades, the organization developed proven systems in marketing, operations, installation, and customer service while supporting hundreds of contractors across North America.
Thrasher Basement Water Control started from Nancy and Greg Thasher’s farmhouse in Erling, Iowa in 1975.
The Industry
As home improvement trends evolved, we recognized a growing demand for durable garage floor coatings, efficient storage solutions, and professional organization services. Homeowners wanted garages that were cleaner, more functional, and visually appealing spaces that could serve as workshops, gyms, storage hubs, or extensions of the home. At the same time, contractors were looking for a streamlined way to enter this fast-growing segment with the backing of an established brand.
That’s where Hello Garage enters the story. Hello Garage was launched to bring a premium, customer-focused approach to garage transformations. The company combined industry-leading products—such as polyaspartic floor coatings and customizable storage systems—with the operational expertise and training infrastructure developed over decades in the home services industry.
Where We’re Going
From the beginning, Hello Garage was designed to be more than a product provider. It was built as a complete business system. Franchise owners benefit from centralized marketing support, proprietary installation methods, vendor partnerships, and ongoing coaching designed to help them grow sustainable, team-based operations in their local markets.
Since launching its franchise opportunity, Hello Garage has expanded into communities across the United States, helping thousands of homeowners transform their garages while creating opportunities for entrepreneurs to build scalable, service-based businesses. The brand continues to grow by staying focused on its founding mission: delivering clean organized spaces to homeowners, exceptional customer experiences, and a proven path to business ownership in the home improvement industry.
