Our team provides one schedule that lines up every trade in the garage, delivering a finished room for homeowners and floor-plus-storage packages on residential and commercial jobs alike. Backed by 12 years in business and our 2-year workmanship warranty, we've completed over 1,187 projects, from a two-car floor with wall rails to three-car garages finished with cabinets, racks and coated stem walls.
From emptying the bays and coating the stem walls to hanging the last slatwall hook on a cured floor, our team handles every detail. Serving Riverside and neighboring Yorba Linda, Villa Park and North Tustin, we plan the room first so nothing gets installed twice.

Teresa, hillside cul-de-sac, Yorba Linda
A garage being finished as a room: new cabinets and wall storage going in after the floor
Investment and duration figures are estimates. Your written quote sets the final price and schedule.
Teresa's garage on a hillside cul-de-sac in Yorba Linda was being finished as a room, with new cabinets and wall storage going in after the floor. We coated the floor and the stem walls first in a saddle tan full flake system, then the cabinet crew installed on a cured floor across her 3-car garage, about 690 sq ft. The floor portion was an estimated $5,200 to $7,200 and took an estimated 2 to 3 days before any cabinet went in. The result is a finished garage room with a floor that runs clean up to the cabinet toe kicks.
A garage makeover starts with an inventory of what the room has to hold, because storage is designed around your things, not around a cabinet catalog. On the first visit to a garage in Eastvale, Claremont or anywhere on our route, our estimator walks the garage with you and writes down what stays, what goes overhead and where each item is used.
Estate garages in Villa Park and Diamond Bar often add a showcase bay for a collector car, while ranch garages in Norco and Woodcrest usually need room for tack, feed and tools.
Our install process puts the floor down first, lets it cure, and only then brings in cabinets, racks and slatwall, so no coating is cut around a cabinet and no cabinet is scratched by a grinder.
The order matters because a floor coated around existing cabinets leaves an uncoated strip under every base, and a floor coated after cabinets go in means masking, cutting in and a seam at every toe kick.
| Sequence | What happens to the floor | What happens to the storage | Our verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Floor first, then storage | One continuous coating wall to wall, stem walls included | Installed on a cured, clean surface | The way we build every package |
| Cabinets first, floor later | Coating stops at every cabinet base | Cabinets masked, often scuffed by the grinder | Avoid |
| Piecemeal over several years | Old cabinets moved twice, floor re-cut to fit | New pieces rarely match old ones | Costs more over time |
Cabinets, slatwall and overhead racks each solve a different storage problem, so most packages we plan in Eastvale and El Sobrante tracts use all three. Wall-hung or legged cabinets hold tools and chemicals behind closed doors, slatwall puts daily gear on hooks at eye level, and ceiling racks take bulky bins off the floor entirely. On a 3-car garage like Teresa's, about 690 sq ft, we typically keep one wall for cabinets and a workbench, one for slatwall, and the ceiling over the hood of each car for racks.
Cabinets on legs or wall rails, our usual choice in older Lemon Heights garages, keep the coated floor visible underneath, which makes sweeping and hosing the whole floor easy.
Lighting is the finishing touch that makes a coated floor look its best, because a bright, even light shows the flake pattern and the gloss of the clear. Most makeovers in Diamond Bar and San Antonio Heights swap a single bulb for LED shop fixtures across the ceiling, placed after the racks so nothing casts a shadow over the workbench.
A garage makeover floor in Riverside is typically estimated at $4,200 to $7,200 for a three-car full flake system, and cabinets, slatwall, racks and lighting are priced in the same written quote by what the room needs.

Storage costs depend on cabinet count, the length of slatwall and how many ceiling racks the room takes, so we price those after the room is mapped rather than quote a guess. In North Tustin, where the median owner-occupied home value is $1,347,800, most makeovers we plan are three-car garages becoming a finished room.
All makeover prices are estimates and subject to change; your written quote after the walkthrough sets the final price and the schedule for each trade, based on the garage size, the floor system and the storage you choose.
The floor under a makeover is usually a full flake system, typically in the estimated $2,800 to $6,200 range on a two-car garage, but the material depends on how the room is used. Most clients choose flake and chip floor systems for dust hiding, a one-day polyaspartic garage floor when the cabinets are booked soon after, or designer metallic epoxy for a showcase garage like the ones in Villa Park.
Homeowners from Canyon Crest to Victoria Grove trust us with the whole room because one schedule controls every trade, and the floor is never left to the last crew through the door. In 12 years and 1,187 projects, our estimator has written the order of work into every package, and the 2-year workmanship warranty covers the floor against peeling, delamination and hot-tire pickup.
We plan makeovers within a 45-mile radius of Riverside, from three-car garages in Yorba Linda and estate garages in Villa Park to ranch homes in North Tustin and tracts in Eastvale. Claremont, Diamond Bar and El Sobrante are on the same schedule.
A makeover can stop at the floor: our garage floor epoxy coating covers the multi-coat system on its own, as on Marcus's garage in Canyon Crest. Detached workshops and RV bays get a heavier build through shop and barn floor coatings, as Linda's woodshop in Cowan Heights did.
A package includes the coated floor and stem walls, plus the cabinets, slatwall, overhead racks and lighting your room needs, on one schedule.
The floor goes first so the coating runs wall to wall under every cabinet, with no seams or masked edges to peel.
The floor typically takes an estimated 2 to 3 days on a three-car garage, then storage goes in once the coating has cured.
A three-car makeover floor is typically estimated at $4,200 to $7,200, and your written quote adds the storage after the room is mapped.
Yes, if they are sound we move them out, coat the floor and set them back on legs or rails over the cured coating.
Most polyaspartic floors take cars after an estimated 24 to 36 hours, and epoxy floors typically after 72 to 96 hours.
Yes, Yorba Linda, Villa Park and North Tustin are on our Orange County route every week.
The deposit on a makeover is capped at $1,000 or 10% of the contract, whichever is less, by California Business and Professions Code 7159.5.

Start to finish
We walk the slab with you, map cracks, joints and old coatings, and take moisture readings before a system is named.
The system, every coat and its thickness, the colors and the cure and return-to-service times arrive in writing.
The slab is diamond ground with dust control, cracks and joints are filled, and each coat goes down inside its recoat window.
We walk the cured floor with you, go over the care notes and tell you when cars or equipment can come back.
