Well, seeing as my parents never cared about cars or what they drove, etc...you can imagine what our garage look slike:mad:

This spring/summer we are going to redo the garage completly and I just wanted to know if any has pictures of theirs or knows any good Garage Door places in Toronto and any Garage Specialits in Toronto.

I will just patch drywall and paint it but then I want to get some nice shelving and maybe some pin hole/slat board to hang tools, and shelving, etc..

Also, any suggest anything for floring. Maybe just a nice paint? I am looking for this stuff in Toronto. I have found a ton of places in the USA that do major garage work. Take a look.

First Place (http://www.thegaragepeople.com/Pages/JP2.html)
Second Place (http://www.4yourgarage.com/jobs_02.asp)
Kick Ass Floring
(http://www.racedeck.com/) Final (http://www.completegarage.com/caseStudies.php)

I am sure you can all get the picture. Tips, photos, leads would all be helpfull. Thanx.

Heated tile floors would be sweet for someone who has the cash to do it. Your garage can get hotter then you will ever need with heating from under the tiles.

For me, I am just going to do the ole white walls and painted grey floors. Still looks nice and clean once you get a work bench and some posters in there.

Normal paint is not that slippery and I dont have room for a work bench so i should be fine with minimal walking

I'm probably going to have the foundation done professionally, simply because of the soil problems around here :mad:

okay, since I haven't been able to remember to bring the stuff home about the "garage reno" I am at work now, and extremely busy with things here, but I thought I would take a small moment out of my extremely busy schedule to post the stuff about the garage reno for Young Stallion.

Here's a place in Mississauga, that does some cool stuff for garages, etc, it's the ultimate in organizing.

I picked up their brochure at the last trade show I attended, cause their display was totally cool! here's their website
