For those that are interested, I recently had my garage updated. What I had was an old freestanding two car garage with slab floor, stud walls, hanging freyed wires and and a rat (or two).
I did a bit of research (given my anal nature) and ended up hiring a local company from Pasadena called Garage Envy.
Next thing I know, a trailer with a huge billboard of the perfect garage painted on the side gets unhooked in my driveway. Several large men in matching coveralls begin hauling 10 years of ridiculous crap out of my garage while I stand there in my robe, drinking my morning coffee, and pointing....
"keep", "toss", "ummm ok keep it", "my wifes still sleeping so toss that quickly". You get the idea.
Anyway, what I ended up with a few days later is nothing short of a miracle. For about the same price as tax and registration of my GT I now have:
A shop floor (Tungsten of course)
Slat wallboard which allows you to hang anything anywhere! (picture a footlocker shoe store).
Stainless cabinets (nicer than my wifes viking kitchen)
Butcher block work bench counter tops and task lighting.
Vaulted ceilings with recessed lighting and dimmers.
These guys were great. I hear they did over 600 garages out of just one store last year. Rumor is they're gonna' franchise. The Starbucks of garages?
Website with photos is below for those who are interested.
