Mine was awful, even had cracks in slab, (my house shifted before I bought it) but had it professionally jacked back up and everything's fixed, but instead of tearing out the concrete, and repour, it wasn't needed. I was told something like 10k! I just tossed down some race deck. If it was perfectly smooth and no cracks etc, I probably / maybe would of done epoxy. I put a double layer of heavy duty landscape fabric under the tiles, so prevent a tapping/clicking noise when walking on the tiles from concrete.plastic compacting. Worked well, no noise.

It only took a few days. Also insulated all the walls, and above the attic. It stays like 50-60* in winter when its 0* out, and like 60* when its like 100* outside in summer. Theres no ac/heat in it, but it keeps the heat from the shared walls. If I want to work in garage for winter, I just toss a little electric ceramic filled oil heater on the night before, it toast up the garage, and only uses like a dollar a day in energy. Small price for some comfort.

LED lights, 5 of them, 4 in main room and 1 in the side tool storage area, made a massive difference. instant on, and just wonderful. 40watts each hour.

Looks nice. How are those tiles holding up?
They are good. I figured they use them in car dealerships and the same thing in the Army Basic Training Barracks. If they can hold up to that, they can hold up to what I am doing.

Only about 500 bucks to do the whole garage.

Cool. Could you please tell me the part number and where you bought them?

I'm in an apartment, but hey at least it's got a garage to seek shelter...
I fully understand the apartment life.


The last time my apartment garage was mostly clean.

Since others shared before and afters. Lights make a huge difference. If I was doing up my personal garage, they would be the first on the list.

Wow some of your garages are truly awesome. Mine is still a work in progress. I really like the idea of the wood on the walls, will have to look into that. I do like the look of that race deck tiles too. Very helpful thread!

So story behind the white line...the wife was not thrilled when i wanted to bring the mustang into the garage for the winter. She had gotten used to having it to her self for our odyssey. She was worried about parking too close to the mustang. So, I laid down a white line with duct tape that helped her get used it, now its no big deal. Its a tight fit with both cars in the garage but sliding doors on the van insure kids can get in and out easily enough.

Small bay area home syndrome lol. I do a lot of work in the garage so I wanted to spruce it up a little bit.

The car & garage is messy at the moment because the interior is being redone to accomodate a cage and race seat for this season.
