If you’re like most homeowners, your garage probably wasn’t built for what it’s turned into.
Over the years, it’s become a holding pen for everything that doesn’t fit in the house — boxes, paint cans, bikes, tools, bins of holiday decorations, maybe even that treadmill you swore you’d use.
And meanwhile, your car — your biggest investment after your home — is sitting out in the cold, collecting frost, salt, and bird droppings.
Sound familiar?
You’re not alone.
But this winter, you can change that.
With TLC’s Slice® financing program, you can finally transform that cluttered, chaotic garage into a clean, organized, finished space you’ll love — without paying for it all upfront.
We’ll help you get your financing in place now, and then during the winter months, we can complete your entire garage makeover so that by the time the next cold snap hits, your car is parked inside — warm, dry, and protected.
The “Someday” Project You Keep Putting Off
Every single week, I hear the same story from homeowners all across Maryland:
“Bob, I’ve been meaning to fix up the garage for years… but something always comes up.”
I get it. Life happens. Other projects take priority.
But here’s the truth — the garage is the heart of your home’s functionality. It’s the first place you see when you come home and the last place you leave in the morning.
And when it’s cluttered, dirty, or falling apart, it doesn’t just make your life harder — it makes your home feel unfinished.
That’s why I love what our financing program allows people to do.
It turns “someday” into “right now.”
You can finally have the bright, organized, easy-to-clean garage you’ve always wanted — and you can do it without touching your savings account.
Why Financing a Garage Makeover Makes Sense
I’ve said this for years — and it’s still true:
“Why not use someone else’s money when you can?”
When you use TLC’s financing program through Slice® by FNBO, you can qualify for 12 months with no payments and no interest.
If you pay it off within that window, it costs you nothing extra — not a penny in interest.
You can complete your entire garage makeover this winter, enjoy it immediately, and pay it off next year without spending a dime more than if you paid cash.
That’s not just convenient — that’s smart.
And if you’d rather spread payments out longer, there are fixed-term, fixed-rate options too. No surprises. No hidden fees. Just simple, straightforward financing designed for homeowners who want to improve their property responsibly.
Why Winter Is the Perfect Time
Most people assume garage work happens in spring or summer. But here’s the secret: winter is actually the best time to do it.
Once TLC wraps up lawn sprinkler winterizations, our teams shift into garage season — floor coatings, organization systems, and full makeovers.
That means you get faster scheduling, avoid the spring rush, enjoy off-season pricing, and best of all — you’ll actually be using your garage when it matters most.
There’s nothing better than hitting the remote, opening that door, and seeing your car sitting inside instead of frozen in the driveway.
What a Complete TLC Garage Makeover Includes
When we say “garage makeover,” we’re not talking about a coat of paint and a shelf or two. We mean a complete transformation — top to bottom.
1. Epoxy or Polyaspartic Floor Coating — Durable, beautiful, and built to last. Easy to clean, resists salt and oil, and brightens the entire space.
2. Custom Storage and Organization — Shelving, cabinetry, wall panels, hooks, and overhead racks.
3. Lighting and Electrical Upgrades — Bright LED fixtures make a huge difference.
4. Wall and Ceiling Finishes — Paint, insulation, or drywall to make your garage feel like an extension of your home.
5. Entryway Details — Painted trim, sealed thresholds, and finished doors.
All of this can be financed through Slice® — get it done now, pay later.

How Much Does It Cost?
Our average full makeover typically ranges between $6,000 and $18,000, depending on size, finishes, and features.
With financing, that can mean as little as $150–$200 per month — often less than what you’re spending on storage or repairs from weather exposure.
With 0% interest options, you can pay it off completely in a year and walk away having spent nothing extra.
Why Doing Nothing Costs More
The most expensive option is doing nothing. Leaving your car outside through another winter causes rust, paint wear, and dead batteries. Meanwhile, your garage stays cluttered, your belongings degrade, and you lose usable space.
Fixing it now — with financing — is the smartest move you can make.
Bob’s Take
I’ve been doing this over 42 years, and every homeowner deserves to love their home — garage included. When your garage is organized and your car’s inside, it changes how you feel about your home.
And when you can finance it with Slice®, there’s no reason to wait.

By spring, you’ll be pulling into a brand-new space that’s organized, functional, and built to last.
