Kristen wanted to to surprise her husband with a custom garage makeover and I was happy to help! Richard is a true gear-head, this is just one of the “toy investments” he has. The walls were done in a light pearl gray color. Then all the baseboards & trim were painted a jet black. Then a pinstripe series in black were put on the walls to give the garage a true custom look and feel. We finished the garage with a full chip floor in a Granite color. Richard also wanted to do a cabinet system on the back wall and that will be coming soon to truly finish off his CGW Custom Garage! Thanks Kristen for letting us be a part of your husbands garage dreams it has been a pleasure to work with you both!

Recently, we at Custom Garage Works had the opportunity to convert a three-car garage to a four-car garage. We were thrilled at the opportunity to completely transform an otherwise normal garage, into a wide-open space, designed for optimal storage, floor space and work areas.

Durable Earth-Friendly Floor Coating

First, we covered the floor with a multi-layered, full-broadcasted flake floor coat. Made from industrial strength polyurea/polyaspartic material, this durable and easy to clean coating will protect the floor of this garage from any kind of stain, spill or leak imaginable. Out of the hundreds of different floor coat textures and colors available at CGW, the owner went with Sedona to compliment the interior walls of the garage. Hey — Just because this is a man-space doesn’t mean design has to take a back seat.

Optimized Storage Space for Organization and Efficiency

With the floor coat evenly set and ready for some traffic, next we moved on to the heart of the garage — storage and work-space. This was a huge 3 car garage to begin with, but with a little bit of strategy, we were able to blow it wide open and allow this monster to reach its full potential. We started by installing 10 feet worth of brushed metal storage cabinets, mounted directly to the interior wall studs. This eliminates the need for cabinet feet and legs that typically take up valuable real estate on the floor. These custom made, Bulldog cabinets included a built-in work-bench, ideal for the DIY man. Above the work bench and on the side wall, we installed a slat-wall storage system, allowing the owner to choose where to store his tools, bikes, and lawn equipment according to size, frequency and ease of use. Most garage owners understand the importance of organization when it comes to his tools and other items. Our slat-wall storage unit keeps everything in its right place, and off the floor.

More Space = More Cars

With our strategically placed storage installations, Custom Garage Works were able to free up enough space to install a 4-post car lift, turning this 3-car garage into a 4-car garage.

Let Custom Garage Works Change the Way You Use Your Garage with a floor that will out-last years of heavy traffic and work. We are particularly proud of this project and ready to take on the next.

The best way to increase the amount of floor space in your garage is to get the items on the floor up on the walls or ceiling. The best way to do this is with a Slat-wall system on the walls that can accommodate an assortment of baskets, brackets and wall storage tools that can fit on different areas of the wall and can be slid along the wall or set at different heights. Overhead racks is another way to get these items off the floor. a 4?x 8? rack can be anchored to the ceiling and drop down from there and provide a ton of extra storage with an area that before was just dead unused space…the ceiling area. The taller your ceiling the more storage you can get. Check out the storage gallery to see some options and get some ideas.
