The Last Frontier at Home—Source 1 Cabinets Launches an Expedition to the Garage

Nashville, TN – December 12, 2007 – After 10 years and 10,000 kitchen and bathroom installations in Middle Tennessee, Source 1 Cabinets is responding to a homeowner movement toward the garage as the new livable space in the home.

The company is announcing the opening of Slide-Lok Garage Interiors and Storage Cabinets.

Like many businesses, this one began with a simple observation: “We noticed how many homeowners who were updating their kitchens wanted to try putting the old cabinets in their garage,” says business owner Kendall Morton. “They wanted some way to make their garage a livable space – not just a place to park the cars and the junk.”

They found a company filling that need in Arizona and decided to pay them a visit. “Not only did we find a great, affordable, non-epoxy garage flooring product but plywood cabinets, wall storage units, and overhead storage units designed for the garage as well as closet systems for the home’s interior.”

“The very first installation we did in Nashville was requested before Thanksgiving so this very lovely couple could serve part of their large gathering in the garage,” says co-owner Claire Bradford. “We were all amazed at the transformation and they did serve Thanksgiving dinner to part of their guests in their new space.”

“I have a small collection of old vehicles – a '49 Chevy like the one I learned to drive and a ’56 Ford like the first car I owned – that sort of thing. My hobby has caused me to observe that a growing number of guys out there are no longer content with the garage and its usual condition as their hang out. They want a cleanable, uncluttered space for their “stuff” and for just hanging out in, says Morton.

“The contrast of 'before and after' with this product is impossible to ignore. It is no surprise that the garage is the fasting growing segment of home improvement in the country. But we’re also busy offering it to builders and to consumers who are building a new residence,” says Morton. “We believe it won’t be long before improved garages will be the standard, not an upgrade.”

“We started with one big advantage. We’re already in such a similar business we were able to use our resources and talent for this new business right away. Our installers have been around the block. They know what they’re doing and can make quick work of the cabinets and the flooring,” says Morton.

Underlining a serious commitment to the enterprise, Source 1’s 10,000 square foot expansion includes showroom, new offices, warehouse and workspaces uniquely designed to help homeowners, home remodelers, new home builders, and designers select and visually model garage furnishings and makeovers.

Source 1 Cabinets accepted a “Master Dealership” encompassing 19 middle Tennessee counties from Slide-Lok, a Tempe, AZ company with 150 dealers throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Slide-Lok of Nashville is located next door to Source 1 Cabinets at 684 Melrose Avenue in Nashville’s Berry Hill area.
