Storage Options & Solutions

What Storage Options & Solutions does

Storage Options & Solutions (operating as S.O.S. / SOS Rescue) is a privately held home and commercial organization services company founded in 1989 by Andrea Taylor Flairty, who continues to serve as President & Owner. The company designs, sells, and installs custom-built organization systems — including closets, garages, pantries, laundry rooms, home offices, entertainment centers, craft rooms, entryways/mudrooms, Murphy beds, and commercial workspaces — as an authorized ORG Home dealer covering Central Illinois. Operations are run from three physical locations: a central shop and showroom headquarters in Bloomington, IL, and satellite showrooms/offices in Peoria and Champaign, with a service radius of roughly 50-60 miles around each metro. The customer base is primarily residential homeowners, supplemented by commercial engagements with property developers, realtors, and home builders.

The core technology stack is ORG Home's custom manufacturing supply combined with Studio, a proprietary 3D design software that the company uses during in-home consultations to visualize layouts and translate approved designs directly into manufacturing orders for precise execution. Installation is performed by trained in-house staff, typically completed within one to two days. The company offers a limited lifetime residential warranty and supports sales through free design consultations, a content-rich website, active Instagram and Facebook accounts, and customer reviews on Yelp and Houzz.

The business model is sales-led and project-based: revenue is generated primarily through one-time custom system sales and professional installation, with no disclosed subscription or recurring component. Pricing is not publicly listed and varies by project scope, size, materials, and accessories, with options offered at multiple investment levels after the complimentary 3D design consultation. The organization is small (1-10 employees, including four named individuals) and founder-controlled, with no institutional investment, parent company, or subsidiaries disclosed.

Direct peers

• Tailored Living: Franchised custom home organization company offering closets, garages, pantries, and home offices with in-home design consultations. Comparable design-install GTM and overlapping product categories with SOS.
• Closets by Design: Custom closet and organization franchise serving residential customers with in-home design consultations and professional installation. Operates with the same sales-led, design-then-build model as SOS across comparable product categories.
• Closet Factory: Franchised custom closet, garage, pantry, and home office design-and-installation company. Closest business model match to SOS — in-home consultation, 3D design, custom manufacturing, professional installation — with overlapping product categories.
• More Space Place: Franchise specializing in custom closets, wall beds (Murphy), garage systems, and home offices with in-home consultation and installation. Comparable product mix (including Murphy beds, which SOS also offers) and service model.
• Inspired Closets: Custom home organization franchise (part of The ShelfGenie / Inspire Brands family) offering closets, pantries, garages, and home offices. Closely comparable product portfolio and direct-to-consumer design-install model.

Emerging players

• Garage Living: Custom garage organization and flooring franchise focused on finished garage makeovers (cabinets, slatwall, flooring). Comparable to SOS's garage systems line, though narrower in product scope.
• Monkey Bars Storage: Franchised garage, basement, and home organization provider using steel-based storage systems. Comparable in the garage and home organization segment with similar in-home consultation model, though product system is proprietary rather than ORG Home.

Broad incumbents

• The Container Store: National specialty retailer of storage and organization products including custom closets (Elfa, Preston, Avera lines). Competes for the same residential organization dollars, though via retail/DIY rather than fully custom in-home design.
• California Closets: Largest U.S. custom closet and home organization franchise network with national scale. Comparable as a competing custom storage design-and-install provider, but operating at materially greater breadth and brand recognition than SOS.

Others

• ORG Home: Manufacturer of custom home organization products and parent supplier to SOS as an authorized dealer. Comparable because it defines the product platform, design system, and dealer economics that drive SOS's offering.
