Between the cabinets to the workbench to the hanging hooks, Rick with Monkey Bar had a solution for everything. Even more so was his knowledge of how we as a family would grow and our needs would change. He also installed an absolutely beautiful Swisstrex floor that is very functional for our needs. He was so easy to work with!!!! **★★★★★ — julezkateer, June 2017** > We are so very pleased with 1. Highly professional, qualified, thorough, and pleasent to work with Rick. 2. The high quality of the product is just as described. 3. The end result of a finished, organized, and usable garage. The whole process went smoothly. Everything was schedueled and executed in a timely fashion as quoted. Final cost was under the quote. Rick has an old fashioned honest work ethic that is hard to find today. **★★★★★ — User, Oct. 2015** > To start off, corresponding with our rep, Mr. Rick Langel was an absolute pleasure and it was a reminder as to what true customer service is. The product spoke for its self. This was exactly what we were looking for to best suit the dimensions of our garage and the plans we have for it. The Quality of the construction was better than anything i've seen for the price. This biggest seller for me on the product, was the fact that is a modular system. Meaning, that i can rearrange as my life and needs change. **★★★★★ — Bret Wilson, Aug. 2015** > As a brand-new, first-time, home owner - I was eager to start several home improvement projects. The first major project was the garage. After spending hours online evaluating several vendors, I chose MonkeyBar and was introduced to Rick. Rick spent countless hours with me discussing and designing several solutions -- even before making a commitment or down payment. Even more impressive: he reserved the entire day for installation, most of which was spent finding the "best" customizable solution to hang nearly a dozen bicycles in my garage! My point? He takes customer satisfaction seriously. If I owned my own business, Rick is exactly the type of employee I'd want representing me. MonkeyBar Solutions, Inc. should consider themselves proud (and lucky) to have him! **★★★★★ — brianjfox17, May 2015** > Fantastic experience from start to finish. Prompt response to my inquiry, quick bid process, and transparent communication throughout. Rick was absolutely wonderful to work with. The product is top notch. There is absolutely nothing on the market that compares. If you want true storage that has the capacity to hold any amount of weight, then Monkey Bar storage should be your choice. I would highly recommend. **★★★★★ — nkirklin, May 2015** > Installed a garage storage system and did a great job. Very responsive to request for bid, timely with installation when requested, actually adjusted date of installation with a last minute request and followed up quickly when I ordered some additional supplies. Definitely recommend Monkey Bars. ## Selected projects - [Omaha Garage Storage Solutions](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/omaha-garage-storage-solutions-pj-vj~881239) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Monkey Bars](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/monkey-bars-pj-vj~219868) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [Norfolk Garage - Before and After](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/norfolk-garage-before-and-after-pj-vj~1163355) - Location: Norfolk, NE - Photos: 2 - [Linden Estates Tour of Inspiration Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/linden-estates-tour-of-inspiration-home-pj-vj~881230) - Location: Omaha, NE - Photos: 4 - [Plattsmouth Garage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/plattsmouth-garage-pj-vj~1750004) - Location: Plattsmouth, NE - Photos: 2 - Description: Wall to wall Floor to ceiling Built in Murphy Bed - [Omaha Street of Dreams](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/omaha-street-of-dreams-pj-vj~1259146) - Location: Omaha, NE - Photos: 4 - [Elkhorn Closet](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/elkhorn-closet-pj-vj~1111593) - Location: Omaha, NE - Photos: 4 - [Lincoln Garage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lincoln-garage-pj-vj~1111562) - Location: Lincoln, NE - Photos: 3 - [Omaha Car Pad](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/omaha-car-pad-pj-vj~1376475) - Location: Omaha, NE - Photos: 2 - [Omaha Garage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/omaha-garage-pj-vj~1111624) - Location: Omaha, NE - Photos: 2 - [Elkhorn Garage 2](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/elkhorn-garage-2-pj-vj~1137995) - Location: Omaha, NE - Photos: 3 - [Papillion Garage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/papillion-garage-pj-vj~1111618) - Location: Papillion, NE - Photos: 1 - [Omaha Garage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/omaha-garage-pj-vj~1111590) - Location: Omaha, NE - Photos: 1 - Description: Overhead storage with room to spare - [Omaha New Garage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/omaha-new-garage-pj-vj~1360174) - Location: Omaha, NE - Photos: 1 - Description: life is good - [Waterloo Garage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/waterloo-garage-pj-vj~1111586) - Location: Waterloo, NE - Photos: 1 - [Elkhorn Garage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/elkhorn-garage-pj-vj~1111579) - Location: Elkhorn, NE - Photos: 2 - Description: Hanging and shoe storage - [Omaha Garage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/omaha-garage-pj-vj~1111568) - Location: Omaha, NE - Photos: 3 - Description: Please see the review from nkirklin. - [Waterloo Pool Shed](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/waterloo-pool-shed-pj-vj~1163360) - Location: Waterloo, NE - Photos: 2 - Description: life is precious, preserve it - [LeMars Iowa garage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lemars-iowa-garage-pj-vj~1172455) - Location: Le Mars, IA - Photos: 2 - [Norfolk Bike Storage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/norfolk-bike-storage-pj-vj~881225) - Location: Norfolk, NE - Photos: 1 [See all 27 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/custom-closet-designer/monkey-bar-storage-solutions-pfvwus-pf~59237978) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
