As an interior designer, Rachel Walker was paying astronomical amounts for barn doors for her clients. Clients would see things on Pinterest or Instagram they wanted to create and bring to life. As a mom of four young children, it was next to impossible for her to leave home every day and go to work. She knew there had to be a better/more affordable way and so she asked some people to make her a few. A few turned into a few hundred within weeks. What started out in her garage quickly grew into something much larger and… “her husband wanted his garage back.”

Walker’s husband built her very own garage that is now called “The Gal’s Garage” and located at 469 Market Street in Kaysville. Her ideas expanded from just working with family to creating ideas for a full-scale modern wood shop for home furnishings and décor. Specialties include barn doors, cabinets, farmhouse tables and custom furniture, floating shelves and much more. They also offer flooring and carpet, furniture refinishing, interior design, CNC, Laser engraving and much more.

Although all genders are welcome, something that is different in this industry is that Gal’s is unique in that they have attracted a high percentage of incredible women to their team. “Our people are amazing, they sincerely love each other and love what they do,” Walker said. She said they still get giddy just seeing inspiration become a reality in homes. 

Walker said their products are amazing because they design things they would want in their own homes. She said they take real life problems and find real life solutions. One of the unique things offered by their process is their team that personally sees an order through from start to finish. This includes everyone from the designer, engineer, carpenter, and shop manager. 

The process begins with a client texting or emailing an explanation or picture of their vision, along with measurements. Staff returns with a 3D drawing and pricing options (ranging from lower to higher to make the process affordable for everyone). For instance, Walker said they can create customized affordable cabinets but offer up to half off the cost of a regular custom build if people prefer to install them. She said they work with several builders and Parade of Homes using this method. 

Open Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., the focus at The Gal’s Garage is on people, products, and process. Walker said they are “saving marriages” by building the things that are on your “Honey to do list” (but Honey doesn’t have time to do). They pride themselves on “customers become our friends throughout the process.” For a free quote, you can reach them at 385-209-0102 or visit their showroom in person.

Way to go Gal’s!
