GarageExperts has taken another confident step in its nationwide expansion, signing four new franchise agreements with owners from diverse professional backgrounds. The company, known for turning cluttered garages into polished, functional spaces, continues to draw entrepreneurs seeking a blend of craftsmanship, business growth, and lifestyle balance.
In North Georgia, Charles Laatz brings a passion for precision honed through years in automotive work. After spending much of his career transforming vehicles into showroom-ready masterpieces, Laatz said he was ready for a new kind of challenge. “Turning vehicles into showroom masterpieces was fun, but transforming garages? That’s a joy ride of its own,” he remarked. His move reflects a broader trend among GarageExperts owners who are blending technical skill with design-minded ambition.
Shaun Harris, based in Volusia County, Florida, enters the network with two decades of military leadership experience. His approach to garage design mirrors the discipline and organization he practiced in service. “Each project is a chance to make a difference,” Harris said, describing his mission to bring order and purpose to spaces that often go overlooked. His franchise aims to deliver both functionality and peace of mind for homeowners who value efficiency.
In Sacramento, California, Lucius Hicks brings more than ten years of project management experience in home renovations to his new venture. His focus on craftsmanship and customer relationships fits seamlessly within the GarageExperts framework. “Craftsmanship and customer satisfaction drive every project I undertake,” Hicks said, noting that the company’s structure gives him both creative freedom and community support.
Rounding out the group is Mehmet Sungurtekin, who enters the Dallas market after a global career in sales. Having spent years in corporate environments, he was ready for a more personal form of ownership. “I craved the integrity of ownership, and this path is the perfect outlet for my entrepreneurial spirit,” he said. His transition reflects the growing appeal of home-service franchises for professionals seeking autonomy and long-term stability.
With these additions, GarageExperts is strengthening its presence across the United States while reinforcing its reputation for professionalism and innovation. The company’s model continues to attract franchisees who value both design and business strategy, transforming garages into purposeful spaces and unlocking a new vision of home improvement for American homeowners.
