Looking for a garage renovator in St Tammany

I was interested in coating my garage floor and getting someone to design some nice storage for the garage. Has anyone used a company that does this kind of thing? I can easily find garage floor coating companies but was hoping for something more turnkey

no but that’s a good idea for a business. I would be willing to draw the plans for you and drop in shelving options in 3D (retired contractor). I can tell you where to get the shelving and probably get them installed. I also know a few floor coating subs. Let me think about it

My suggestion would be don’t skimp on the flooring, use Ninja. I’ve seen a number of others and none look as good as the job they did on mine. Been about 4 years and looks like the day they installed it.

they use a polyurea coating that is indeed very nice. It’s a quality product installed correctly and will last a good long while

I'll be retiring in a few years and have been in the commercial casework business for many years. I always think I would like to do some handy work when ti do retire, at least for a few years, and installing cabinets in a garage would be easy peasy. My thoughts are to stay away from particle board, and go mainly MDF with laminate (with a disclaimer about water contact) or pre finished birch plywood, for the best durability. The plywood angle would be better as it is lighter weight and less susceptible to warping in higher humidity settings. The drawback is many people would probably prefer color options over durability. I could certainly help with the production of the casework and installation services so will be following this thread.

Go to Facebook and get a hold of GarageUp. I do not have a no.
Full disclosure, I have never used them. But I do personally know the owner and he is an honest guy.

I used garage experts of BR. Good price and great job. Not sure if he will go to St Tammany, but would be worth a call and ask

Garage Experts
Did my garage. They did a fantastic job. Highly recommend. Their cabinets and slat walls are high quality. They are turnkey.

Garage Experts, Ninja, Wise, etc. are all franchises, and the final outcome will reflect the expertise of the workers. My experience is that the nice sales people are seriously ignorant about concrete, wall structure, moisture, etc. Some try hard to upsell. Look for expertise by talk with owners and installers before picking. You might break tasks up and be your own contractor. 1. Electric/lighting, cooling/heating 1st. 2. Walls next including possible insulation, surface repair, pest control, painting, strip molding. 3. Flooring pick and install if moisture level allows. If too moist at least have an aggressive floor cleaning and reinstall molding. 4. Lastly pick and install wall shelving, benches, etc. I'm 3 steps in myself.

experiences will vary based on the subcontractors used. Also the owner of the franchise pays hefty fees to corporate (sometimes 10% or more) so not only are you paying for OHP, you’re paying franchise fees.
I think there’s a good opportunity here for an actual contractor to specialize in this scope.
