I'd tend to agree. I have 2 large windows in our garage, plus 6 - 4 bulb florescent fixtures as well as task lighting and I still wish I had more in some places... Thinking about putting in a skylight when we reroof maybe....

Find someone in Calgary that imports Nolte cabinets from Germany.

I only know of a company in Winnipeg that does it.

IKEA cabinets are garbage compared to Nolte.

But if he wants a garage only for people to look at, I'm sure he'll be fine.

I doubt Ikea cabinets would stand up well in a garage with tools to any kind of daily use.

Hey Jordan,
I I’m doing my garage also, Kitchen cabinets won’t cut it in a Garage type environment with tools oil etc etc.. allot of the kitchen cabinets use particle board and vinyl wrap that cannot be repainted once it flakes away. I would advise against them..
We have a triple oversized garage so allot of cabinets to fill it. What I did was make my own cabinet boxes and doors. I don’t consider myself a carpenter at all but it wasn’t too hard. Used a router and allot of practice to make cabinet doors and the boxes, and a hell of allot more sturdy then what you get with store bought kitchen cabinets. I learned allot of stuff along the way for example drywall in a garage can be replaced with a more functional pegboard and once you paint it looks really good!
My friend painted a logo onto the peg board and it looks awesome. We did the walls first and then covered the beautiful drywall and paint work that was done with pegboard which was more practical err waste of money, oh well lesson learned!..
The countertop will be painted with a “marble look” black/silver paint. I am waiting on a lift, flooring (Probably a black and white checker tile) and a sink that will be installed into the counter. Will probably get to it this summer.

Pic and video attached of what done so far

Let me know what you think still haven't put stuff away so its a mess, but i think they turned out great
You can come take a look if you like!

Mind posting or PMing a price?

[DC2]

I am curious to know too please

[JordanLotoski]

I paid 1900 all said and done. I didn't rough in a gas line when i built, could be less if there is a gas line to garage.

Thats the floor iam doing but just the black and grey, also that colour scheme looks about the same as i was planning.

[NickGT]

Very cool! Looks like it's coming along nicely Jordan!

[JordanLotoski]

Just picked up my flooring, Id like opinions on how to lay it. I was planning a checkered pattern but not 100%

Any ideas would be appreciated
