Project of the Month: Full Garage Remodel in Palm Beach Gardens

Palm Beach Gardens is known for its elegant homes, palm-lined streets, and residents who take pride in every inch of their property—including the garage. This month, we’re featuring a full garage remodel project we completed for a homeowner who wanted a space that matched the sophistication of their home while serving as a highly functional area for storage, work, and relaxation.

From drab concrete floors to custom cabinetry, state-of-the-art lighting, and epoxy coating built to withstand Florida’s climate, this transformation is one to remember.

The Homeowner’s Goals

Our client, a retired couple in Palm Beach Gardens, came to us with three specific goals for their garage:

1. Declutter and organize – They wanted to eliminate floor clutter and make room for their bikes, tools, and gardening equipment.

2. Upgrade flooring – Their bare concrete slab was stained and cracking. They wanted a durable, attractive surface that could stand up to Florida’s humidity.

3. Create a clean, finished look – The garage needed to feel like a true extension of their home—bright, well-lit, and stylish.

Step 1: Design Consultation

Every full remodel at The Garage Enhancement Company starts with a free consultation. During our site visit, we measured the space (a 2-car garage approximately 500 sq. ft.), discussed the couple’s needs and preferences, and created a 3D rendering to visualize the transformation.

We settled on a clean, contemporary style featuring:

• Polyaspartic epoxy flake flooring

• Custom garage cabinets with slatwall

• LED overhead lighting

• Built-in workstation for hobbies

• Bike storage rack

• Overhead storage for seasonal items

Step 2: Floor Preparation and Epoxy Application

The existing garage floor had visible stains, cracks, and uneven patches. Surface prep is one of the most critical stages of any epoxy flooring job, so we went to work with the following process:

Concrete Preparation:

• Diamond grinding to smooth and etch the surface

• Crack and joint repair with commercial-grade filler

• Moisture testing to confirm suitability for epoxy coating

Flooring System Chosen:

• Base layer: High-solids epoxy primer

• Flake layer: Decorative vinyl flakes in “Smoke” blend (gray, white, and black)

• Topcoat: UV-resistant polyaspartic for durability and fast curing

The finished floor was slip-resistant, easy to clean, and able to handle Florida’s humid, coastal climate without peeling or discoloration.

Step 3: Custom Garage Cabinet Installation

To tackle clutter, we installed a custom cabinetry system along the back and side walls. The homeowner selected a matte gray finish with brushed aluminum handles for a modern, clean look.

Features Included:

• Tall utility cabinets for brooms, garden tools, and sports gear

• Base cabinets with solid wood worktops for DIY projects

• Wall-mounted cabinets for extra storage without sacrificing floor space

• Soft-close drawers and adjustable shelving for flexibility

• Built-in charging station for cordless tools

All cabinets were moisture-resistant and securely anchored into the wall studs—built to handle heavy loads and Florida humidity.

Step 4: Wall Storage & Work Area

Wall space is often underutilized in garages, so we added slatwall panels along one side of the garage to allow flexible storage for tools, extension cords, helmets, hoses, and more.

We also designed a built-in workstation in one corner where the homeowners could work on crafts, home projects, or simply sit and tinker. It included:

• Power strip with USB outlets

• Magnetic tool holders

• Overhead lighting

• Pegboard for tools

Step 5: Lighting, Paint, and Finishing Touches

The original garage lighting was a single dim bulb. We replaced it with flush-mounted LED panels that lit the room evenly—perfect for evening use or overcast days.

The ceiling was repainted in bright white, while the garage walls were finished in a moisture-resistant satin gray for contrast and easy cleaning.

Other finishing touches included:

• Rubber baseboard trim to protect walls from mops or tools

• Wall-mounted fan to keep air circulating

• Weather stripping at the garage door base for pest protection

Before & After Highlights

The transformation was not only visual but functional. The couple now enjoys a garage that doubles as a hobby space, home gym corner, and organized storage area.

Why This Remodel Matters

Garage space is often overlooked—but it’s one of the most valuable square footages in your home. This Palm Beach Gardens remodel shows how smart planning, custom upgrades, and durable materials can turn even the most basic garage into a space you’ll actually use and enjoy.

In Florida, where high humidity and salt air can wear out materials quickly, choosing the right systems—from epoxy flooring to moisture-resistant cabinetry—is critical. Every element of this remodel was chosen with local conditions in mind.

Homeowner Feedback

“We never imagined we’d enjoy spending time in our garage, but now it’s one of our favorite parts of the house. Everything has a place, and it looks incredible. The team at The Garage Enhancement Company was fantastic—on time, professional, and helpful every step of the way.”
