Sarah and Tommy are at it again and this season they are taking on a new-build subdivision home. See them transform an average builder’s home into a one of a kind masterpiece complete with a Garage Living Garage!
Garage Living is pleased to host the Corvette Club of Ontario’s weekly meeting at our showroom in Vaughan. We look forward to filling our parking lot with Corvettes and enjoying a beautiful spring night with a BBQ and refreshments.
For years now, customer have been writing our company with accolades of their experience with Garage Living. Some clients want to share how much they enjoy their finished garage and other want to tell us how much they enjoyed the process from the initial consultation through to the garage installation and follow-up. Garage Living prides itself on ensuring our customers are always completely satisfied. This philosophy is ingrained in all of our staff and we expect nothing less than a perfect project and a happy customer. I often tell clients that if they expecting a construction project to be completed without any issues is not realistic. It is however our belief that handling any issues regardless of size or scope in an honest, professional and constructive manner makes the difference between a finished project and a client that is proud to leave their garage door open and show the neighborhood how much they enjoy their finished garage. Here is what a few past customers had to say. If you want to speak to any of our clients directly or visit, completed projects, please contact our office and we would be happy to arrange this with a client in your neighborhood.

Jonathan,
I am very pleased with the new garage set-up. You and your installers did an impressive job from start to finish and I had no problem organizing and storing our garage contents after the installation.
Thanks for the help – you guys are real pros!
Jonathan,
Just a quick note to say how very pleased we are with the work that Garage Living did in renovating our garage. The professionalism, service and responsiveness provided by you and your team was exemplary and the materials and workmanship is absolutely top drawer. I have little doubt that our investment in these improvements will yield an equal return and the enhanced organization of our garage organizer will certainly increase the utility of that space. As we no doubt will be the envy of the neighbourhood (as least as far as garages go!) we will not hesitate to recommend the services of Garage Living to any of our neighbours and friends interested in a similar renovation. Once again, many thanks to you and the entire Garage Living team.
Hi Aaron,
Just a quick note to say thank you for the tremendous service this week. We had our garage installed in August last year and it has become my place of work over the winter. The garage cabinets work extremely well and the units that you recommended for our system are great. Very organized. I am really glad that we went for the flooring as well.
When we had our service incident this past weekend, your response was prompt and professional. Within 24 hours of our report of the problem, it was dealt with.
Thank you for standing behind your product and taking care of us. I will continue to recommend Garage Living to my friends and business associates.
Next I want to comment on George. Impressive guy. Professional. Hard to find people that care that much. Great comment on the integrity of your staff.
Thanks again for the service.
Hi Jonathan,

Once again, thank you very much

Hi Aaron!
Working with you and your company was completely a positive experience! You did everything you said you would in a timely and professional manner. We’re very happy and would definitely recommend you and you company to anyone!
Best regards.

Dear Aaron,
As we mentioned to you on several occasions when the project was underway, we were extremely impressed with every aspect of our relationship with you, your colleagues and your organization. My wife and I completely renovated our home – spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in the process. I can honestly say that the experience with Garage Living stands out as one of the very best we have ever had. I am an extremely detail-conscious individual with not much patience, but it was a most pleasant surprise to find an organization that did not let us down in any way. The following are specific comments:
- The design process directly with you was handled in a very prompt, efficient and courteous manner. You did not hesitate to make repeated visits to the house and your prompt and detailed email replies to my exhaustive questions were comprehensive, constructive and very helpful. As a result this important aspect of the project moved forward at a very rapid pace.
- The final negotiations on the price for the project were unusually rapid, extremely fair and concluded in a way that I find is a rarity in modern business. We were very satisfied with the final price.
- The installation by your colleagues was also executed in a thoroughly professional and efficient manner. Every single person that we encountered in your organization was a pleasure to work with. No problem was too small to be addressed, and every single comment that we made was taken seriously and acted upon. Your colleagues installed everything in an exemplary manner, cleaning up every evening and making sure that the smallest details were covered.
Having spent my career working in 5/6 countries and visiting 50 others, I can honestly state that I have seldom encountered people who were so efficient and pleasurable to work with. I have nothing but the highest respect and praise for your organization and all of its employees. It’s a pity that you aren’t a huge contracting company so that we could find more things to do together. Please do not hesitate to use us as a reference and we would be delighted to let any potential customers visit our home to see your work for themselves.
I would not hesitate for a minute to recommend this thoroughly professional organization to anyone who wants a job to be very well done!
Kindest regards,
Malcolm & Katrine
Dear Garage Living:
Aaron’s vision and planning was outstanding. He created a great design that met our needs perfectly. The installers were friendly, professional and courteous. They completed our garage renovation on time and they found a resourceful solution to an unexpected challenge. The end result was an amazing space that we enjoy using.
Regards,
Garage Living completed our garage makeover and we were thrilled with the results. Our garage now looks like a new addition to our house and we feel we have gained a bright, clean, modern space. Garage Living completed the project on time and within budget, and they were flexible and conscientious.
Regards,
My wife and I recently moved into a new custom built home. An integral part of the construction was a four-car garage plus storage to accommodate our four cars, two of which are Corvette sport cars. Work in the garage started with the home builder who installed the painted drywall and moldings to match the interior sections of the home. I then began to look for someone who could finish the garage for us in terms of flooring, wall units, cabinets and work surfaces. I quickly became disillusion as I was having difficulty finding a company with the complete package, including garage installation. I could only find companies that would sell me the cabinets or the paint for the floor or only be willing or able to do parts of the installation. At 1,300 sq. ft. the garage is quite large and I was not comfortable undertaking the job as a DIY.
As luck would have it, we attended the Toronto Car Show and ran into the folks from Garage Living. I was very impressed with their capabilities from the floor covering to cabinets to installation. After a short conversation, I made an appointment for a visit and within days I had a design sketch and quote. Our project was slightly more complicated in that we living in the United States, albeit close to the border. Within a couple of weeks the work was started and completed. The installers were experts at getting the work done, professionally and timely. I was impressed to see them still at it on a Friday night at 7:30 pm when I returned home from work!
A year later, we couldn’t be happier. Our garage looks fantastic and has become a must see when people and friends visit our home for the first time. The durability of the multi-step floor covering has been beyond my expectations. The parking arrangements for one of the cars requires a number of sharp low speed turns in order to get the car in and out of the garage with no damage or peeling of the floor covering. The floor cleans up well after winter and continues to look brand new. The garage cabinets, wall covering/storage and shelving units all looks great.
I did a tremendous amount of research trying to find a company to finish our garage and contracting with Garage Living was the perfect solution. The outcome exceeds our expectations and working with them was a pleasure.
Take care,
April 11, 2011, TORONTO – Garage flooring is the most dramatic element of changing the garage from a dusty, dirty and dark space into a clean, bright and welcoming room. Only now, as this trend grows, is it becoming clear that not all garage floor coatings are created equal.
Only the test of time has shown some products to be inferior. When first installed, people often find their finished garage floor looks attractive and clean, regardless of product or method of installation. But after just a couple of months, many of these garage floors begin to fail, becoming worn-looking, pitted, blistered and stained—and no longer the attractive garage floor they thought they had installed. This disappointment could have all been avoided if only they had known the difference prior to making their decision.
“There are a number of points to consider before making a decision about the type of garage flooring you want to install,” says Aaron Cash, co-founder of Garage Living. “First of all, it’s important to consider the type of product being installed. Epoxies, both water and solvent based have been traditionally used in warehouses and commercial or industrial applications and while they are incredibly durable indoors, they often fail in garage environments where the temperature drastically fluctuates throughout the year.”
Epoxies by nature are not UV Stable and as a result will tarnish or change colour from direct or indirect sun light. Most professional coating companies do not warrantee epoxy coatings beyond 2-3 years despite proper preparation of the concrete before the coating is applied to the floor.”
Do-it-yourself kits of garage floor coating are much less expensive than professional installed coatings, but are never supported by any warranty and provide very little direction to ensure proper installation. And since the average home owner does not have access to proper equipment or the expertise that is required to prepare the concrete before the coating is applied, the quality of the work is subpar and unsatisfactory. In such cases, it is common for professionals to be called in to remove these failed coatings.
“Our Rhino Polyaspartic floor coating is unlike regular epoxies, and is Ontario’s only one-day floor coating solution with a five-year warranty,” says Aaron Cash. “Rhino is guaranteed to be far superior to regular epoxies or polymer based coatings in terms of durability, longevity, application time and safety. There’s also no odour or mess during or after the garage installation, ensuring a safe and clean installation for your family, and it can even cover concrete side walls and entrance steps to the house.” Garage Living uses industrial planetary diamond grinding equipment with a self contained dust collection system. This preparation ensures the coating adheres to the substrate.
Quality floor coating, properly installed, should protect the garage floor from corrosion and make it easy to keep the floor clean and visually appealing for many years.
