Thread: Want to Remodel Garage, Need Help!

Sup L4P fam....

The home I purchased last year has been great. BUT, now I need to turn my attention to the garage. It looks like a mess right now, well mostly because it is. BUT we have a lot of stuff stored inside right now, in anticipation for Hurricane Irene.

It is a 2 car garage, roughly 22x22. I DO on occasion get some water that creeps through the right side door and makes a puddle. PUZZLES myself and a couple of contractors I have had over. The doors have all new seals and are as tight as they can go. Also, I replaced the gutters and piping above the garage with 6inch for better flow. Unless it is coming from somewhere else, who knows. It's nothing crazy - but also figure in the winter with all the snow - when I pull my cars in..they will be covered in snow and leave puddles.

My question is. Do I only do some sort of floor tile ; ie racedeck, sears gladiator or etc on the Work Bench area? ( I will be shopping at sears for some new craftsman stuff for a new work space ) OR do I just paint the entire floor in some sort of coating and paint the walls with new cabinets and etc?

I had a company that specializes in remodeling garages come over, BUT OMG, they wanted like 15k. That is nuts. GarageTek was the name of the company. A pic is what they sent me for a birdseye view.

Here are some pics. Any input???

You can get race deck flooring called "free flow" allows fluid to channel under it.

FreeFlow Self Draining Garage Floor Tiles | RaceDeck

As for storage, check out home depot, sears, lowes, coscto. TONS of options and complete systems.

get a couple buddies over for the day or two and some beer and install it all.

I just re-did my whole garage. Mostly shelving and just re-organizing and saved a LOT of money by doing it myself.

any pics of before and after? how much do you ROUGHLY think you might have spent? before putting the racedeck down, did you paint the walls and etc? or did that last.

make sure you call james roark on here for all your garage stuff. hes the man! noone else!

I didnt use race deck, i was just suggesting that particular kind for your need.

I have slate floors in my garage. Most the work benches and shelving came from my old shop. I have a 7ft Snap On tool box and a rolling tool box and I did basic wood cabinets and a lot of shelving on one side. When i get the little stuff cleaned up, I will snap some pictures.

just noticed ROARK is no longer a sponsor?
