I'm writing this review based on the fabulous job these people did on my boyfriend's brand new garage. He recently bought a house and the first thing he wanted to upgrade was the garage. He called Garage Envy and their designer came over within a day or 2 to take measurements and show us their flooring and cabinet color options. The lady that came by was very friendly and really seemed like she knew what she was talking about. She came up with a design for the first half of the cabinetry and the flooring and it looked great. A couple of days later, they began working on the floor. It was painless since nobody was living in the house and they did a great job. The cabinetry was installed within a day or 2. My boyfriend was so happy, a few weeks later he ordered another set of cabinetry for the other side of the garage. He had planned to leave that wall bare but couldn't resist but to order more of their great products. Once again the installation of that second order was painless and looked amazing once it was done. We haven't had any issues or complaints so far and my boyfriend is absolutely ecstatic with the results. We will definitely keep Garage Envy in mind for future jobs on this house, or the next. read more

We installed the product in 2013 and have been very happy...until last week when they wanted to charge me $243 to ship $140 worth of accessories. And when I offered to come pick them up since I live in So. California they wrote "will call is not available" - I am not buying a concert ticket, I was a loyal customer who recommended them to others - now I will not return for my next home/project and if asked, I certainly will caution people. When will companies understand the treatment of past customer and service matters. read more

I set up a 2pm appointment by calling the company about 3 weeks ago for garage cabinets and flooring. Today they were a no show- even after getting a confirmation phone message last night that someone would be here. 30 minutes after my supposed appointment, I called them asking where my estimator was. I was told he called in sick and that I could reschedule. I declined. I will not do business with a company that does not have the courtesy to call me first thing to let me know that my appointment won't happen. read more

I set an appointment online but never got a confirmation. I called garage envy to set an appointment. I gave them all the info including my address. They set up an appointment on Monday at 2:00pm. Then, 30 minutes before the arrival time I got a call and was told they don't have an office in my area! I had changed my schedule to accommodate the appointment time! Very disappointed and disgusted with their customer service. I should have been told when speaking to their representative that they don't service my area! I don't recommend this company!!!!!! read more

They did what I thought was a good job on my sister's garage, so this started out as a 5 start review. Now one of the doors is out of true. No problem I thought they offer a lifetime warranty. WRONG!!! Left messages, always the same we will get back to you, or the service guy is not in your area. Funny how they were able to install easily in our area. Anyway, now finding out that they have been purchased by Closet World, and my sister's cabinets are no longer being carried. You know what that means, to quote their representative, "I guess you are out of luck". Word to the wise, "lifetime" is only what you make it. read more

You know what, I was going to write a really nice review of how they resolved my issues. But the more I think about it and the hassle and the amount I have to to pay for the total job and what was done and what was not done, the more I think, meh. I cannot in good conscience write that review. Sorry. read more

Zero stars. Scheduled appointment 10 days ago for 10am. Scheduled my day / week around the appointment. 10:15 no call no show. So I call them. The gal on the phone says She read the notes and the designer is out sick so they need to reschedule. Really? I have to call you to find that out after I've been sitting around waiting. When the designer called out I should have been notified. Poor customer service so I guess blessing in disguise I'm not using them. Too bad for them I had a credit card in hand ready to buy my husband a Father's Day garage remodel. read more

Envy. This is exactly what everyone who visits your garage will feel after Garage Envy is finished with your old one. This company does incredible work! Any nasty garage into a gym, a collector's show room, in home auto shop, a sheek organized garage and more!! Scott one of the co founders is the most diligent and hard working man you will ever meet. He literally won't stop until he finishes what he started. It's all about sitting down and getting to know each other to create the perfect garage you want for yourself, family, and home!!! 5stars for garage envy!! read more

First of all let me say 99% of this review is for everything except their cabinets and wall slats storage all of which were excellent, also this job was done in 2008 SO I DID NOT HAVE ACCESS TO ALMOST ALL OF THE REVIEWS posted here and on angies list maybe we should have waited but who knew in 2008 where we were going as far as communication. I am not sure when they did Jay Leno's garage(which is still featured on their website REALLY!!!!!!!! (TAKE IT OFF THE WEBSITE NOW AS IT IS FALSE ADVERTISING if anyone is interested (oh by the way they also did the kardashian house in Calabassas) SINCE you are now owned by closet world and decided to stop doing epoxy flooring projects) Maybe the service experience would have been different with a better/celebrity last name!!!! Anyway here is the scope of the project we called in july/august 2008 to get an estimate as they were recommended as one of the best epoxy flooring companies around and indeed their products and techniques as explained were at the time some of the best around. I wish we would have waited After their sales/design consultant sat with us and forwarded us the drawings we decided to spend the 8200.00 back in 2008 this was a lot for the work which included epoxy, cabinets wall slats and storage items. we got everything moved and away they went to work on the floor which was allowed to cure properly the workers although unknown at the time were probably sub contractors and not employees of garage envy which we did not ask or find out. the floor looked great when they finished and was wonderful for about 4-6 months which is when the problems started we left calling their office and were treated like ping pong balls as no one wanted to help us because we lived so far away from their office as we lived in Orange County. We finally were able to get a hold of an employee named Rocio who seemed genuinely concerned and somehow we eventually were able to have technicians/crew show up to supposedly fix the cracks and lifting epoxy issue this was somewhere in 2009 or 2010 about 2 years after it was installed I guess their epoxy jobs were too hard for them to complete as they apparently do not do this anymore. OUR PRPBLEM and obviously other people's as well is that they offered a lifetime contract for warranty work of their epoxy floor HOWEVER SINCE THEY ARE STILL IN BUSINESS WHY DO YOU REFUSE TO HONOR YOUR COMMITMENTS TO FULFILL YOUR CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS really this company should be taken and rolled into the Pacific OCEAN never to be seen again if the fix my floor (which I highly doubt) this review will be revised Again they did good work they have just failed to honor their contract read more

I was so impressed with the Master Closet at the 2012 Pasadena Showcase that I contacted Garage to consider doing two closets. The Design: I met with the Erna, a sales design rep., who came to the house and designed both closet spaces. As an architect I am very hands-on and demand a clear understanding of the materials and details of every project. Yes, even a closet.. The features and color selection for each closet was done at this meeting and the cost estimate presented. Everything looked good, so a deposit was put down and the process began. I was a bit taken back by the lack of information I received when sent the final design drawing. It was just a rendering with no part descriptions or plan. When I questioned this I was told that this would follow after I approved the order. I also requested a sample of the wood finish color, so as to have that for selection of hardwood floor and wall paint that needed completed first. I was told that is not usually provided but would be accommodated. I later recieved the final order with parts breakdown and elevations of each wall. I was disappointed that the closets did not have a floor plan to relate the elevations to. I was able to figure it out, but many people may have trouble with this. A plan should always be created for the layout of the cabinets. The Installation: The install was estimated to take 2 -3 days. It actually only took 1.5 days. I gave a floor plan for each closet to the installers that I created in Autocad. They agreed that this helped them relate the elevations to the plans. The cabinets went in without any problems. The installer, Ehsan and Larry, were great. When the work was complete I was only missing one shelf out of the order. They will be back to that when it comes in. All in all, this was a good experience and the outcome looks fantastic. I hope my comments helps Garage Envy to provide better and more complete installation drawings for each project. The client deserves this Dennis K read more

I had used garage envy to completely remodel my garage. I had paid for the epoxy flooring that came with a lifetime warranty for staining etc. I noticed some stains from tire marks and when I called the company to see about having them repair this, I was told that garage envy was sold to Closet World and there was nothing they could do. When I let them know that I had used Closet World to do all my closets in the house and spent thousands of dollars with them, they still said they were not responsible and basically told me to take a hike. Not what I wanted to hear after spending $20,000 with them. Make sure you get things in writing with these people. BEWARE OF THE FINE PRINT. read more

I called to make an appointment to have them come out and give us a quote to have a bathroom floor done in the epoxy coating, as we had used them in the past to have our garage floor resurfaced. We informed the representative that it was a small bathroom floor and we needed a non-slip surface for a handicapped 6 year old. They also informed us that the were "Closet World," so we decided to get a quote on converting her bedroom closet, which we were planning on converting anyway. We made the appointment on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, for the following Monday at 2:00 pm. On Tuesday, when they didn't show up for the appointment, I called the company and asked if they were still coming for the estimate. The representative informed me that they do not do bathrooms, and in fact "do not do epoxy floors." I said that it would have been nice if they had let us know, and she stated that they called twice to try to get ahold of us; once on Thursday (Thanksgiving?), and again on Saturday. We never received a phone call or message on either day. We had to make a special trip to meet for the appointment, as we do not live in the area (20 miles away). If they are this unreliable for an estimate, I can only imagine how the installation would have been. My advise, DO NO USE read more

this company sucks!!!!! They will always try to charge your card; that is their goal Management sleeps with AR's Unprofessional all the way from the office staff to the "installers" read more

They are so bad. I called them last week to get a quote and they came out on Saturday at 8 AM and promised to give me a quote by Monday and I never heard back. I called the company and left massage and no call back. AMAZING ! read more

Everything went great until we got to the installation part. 1. Garage Envy installed the cabinets, but didn't have the counter top in stock. I was told that the counter top would be available in a "few days." But they charged me for almost all of the project because it was "substantially complete." Substantially complete means I can use the room, which I cannot. 2. So, after almost four weeks with the job still uncompleted (because the counter top was still "back ordered," I write a threatening e-mail and leave a pissed off voicemail with the sales guy. I finally get a response from them, promising to send out a guy to do the install. 3. Guy shows up. But it's the end of his workday, and I think he had plans that evening. He used the excuse that he couldn't "enter the job site" to leave without starting the job -- even though other subcontractors on the job site that day had no problem "entering" the job site. We reschedule. 4. Another guy shows up -- with alcohol on his breath. My general contractor sends him home. He doesn't want the liability of a drunk guy on his job site using power tools. I can't blame my general contractor. 5. Despite the four week delay, the fact that they have almost all of my money, and the fact that their guys have been either slackers or drunks, Garage Envy takes their sweet time setting up the next visit to install my counter top. Apparently, other paying clients (whose credit cards they haven't already charged) take priority. Do I mention, by the way, that the four week delay is causing other jobs we have in the room to slip? 6. Finally, their guy shows up. But the sink that we had purchased at their request (an "undermount") apparently is the wrong sink because he meant something different (an "overmount"). Finally, the job gets completed. 7. But upon further inspection, it appears that portions of the countertop are warping. We've contacted Garage Envy to get them to follow up. They are not being responsive. Rozelle is not returning our calls or e-mails. The sales guy was completely AWOL much earlier. Bottom line, stay away! UPDATE - THESE GUYS HAVE BEEN BOUGHT BY OUT BY ANOTHER COMPANY. read more

Garage Envy was the solution to our garage. My husband and I were looking to make our garage a full functioning garage in hopes of having both of our cars parked inside along with cabinets and tools to store necessary items. Garage Envy was extremely professional, efficient, and gave us a reasonable quote. We were able to establish our design upon the first meeting and were scheduled to start the project in two weeks. It took about one week for the floors to be epoxyed along with cabinets installed and walls painted. Our experience with Garage Envy and both of the Tonys working on our project was wonderful and we highly recommend their services. read more

Best part of this project was Merlin. Crystal was helpful also, always followed up with promises. Expensive - drywallers were not very neat and created some issues - Merlin had to correct them. I would recommend them, although add a couple days to their ETA to be finished. read more

We hired Garage Envy to organize our garage with cabinets, overhead storage and wall storage after seeing the beautiful work they did on this year's Pasadena Showcase house as well as viewing their website. The staff was so organized and easy to work with from the sales person, office staff and installers. We never envisioned our garage to have the storage space is has now. Their measurements were perfect, everything fit and our garage is now organized and beautiful. I highly recommend them. You won't be disappointed! Lois W. read more

I had always dreamed of getting my Garage hooked up. I accidentally stumbled upon Garage Envy and went to there showroom in Sun Valley. I immeditaley said I want that. They had a designer out a few days later Joseph Horek who immediately saw my vision. His measurements were spot on and everything I wanted he was able to put together in his design software for my approval. I am super inpatient when it comes to getting stuff on my house done. Soon as I pay for it I want it but I understand it takes time to get all the stuff made and I am glad I waited instead of going somewere else. The crew was super nice cleaned up at the end of each day although one of them I wont say who must have had beans for breakfast cause he blew my bathroom up twice haha. The end product was everything I ever wanted and they even put up my TV mount for free. Now my garage is seriously the nicest garage I have ever been in and it is definitely providing a lot of ENVY with my neighbors read more

To put it simply, I was impressed. I am an avid Yelp user, but have never taken the time to write a review, good or bad. However, I am compelled to express how ecstatic I am that we now have a garage that is, not only functional, but gorgeous! The installation team was so efficient and professional! This was quite a change from our previous experiences with many contractors. If you have had any work done on your house, you know what I'm saying! My husband and I were especially blown away by Vincent. He was so noninvasive, and cleaned up the entire area at the end of each day! Can you imagine a clean and tidy construction site? Thank you Vincent! We decided on the brushed aluminum finish for the cabinets, and it truly looks stunning and classy. I am believer of quality over quantity, so I appreciate that all the materials are high-quality and super durable (e.g. the shelves are 1" thick, so I never have to worry about warping). Of course my husband is in love with the liquid granite floor that is oil-proof, but I mostly love the way it looks! Worth every penny! read more

I find it interesting how Yelp doesn't count my review and experience of Garage Envy, but counts others. Come on Yelp I was a big fan of you, but looks like only certain voices are being heard. read more

Got flooring for my garage and Joseph did a heck of a job. My garage floor looks gorgeous and I am extremely satisfied. They also finished the job quicker than they had originally quoted. Would defiantly do business with again. read more

DESIGN: 2 or 3 of 5 on the overall design. * The whole reason I did this was to move my files to the garage, but the final install had file drawers that don't fit files. This takes off 2-3 stars. How do you sell file drawers that don't fit files?? * There was a miscommunication on the size of the slat wall I guess so instead of it being one piece, it was several cobbled together. It bothers me a bit, but I've been told this is standard and ok. It would have been one piece had there been proper communication. * Overall, the cabinets look nice and the rest of the design seems ok though some (many) miscommunications between design and install (stainless steel looking ones). We'll see how they hold up. INSTALL: 2 of 5. The only reason I give a 2 is because the installer was so nice. * A 1 day install took 4 or 5 days over two weeks with 3 drawers going in rather than 4, the accessories not showing up twice and an entire side wall missing that I had to personally call the person who did the design to sort out. * The pre-install meeting where I went over the whole design and preferences with was with the guy who was supposed to be doing the install. They changed installers and didn't notify me leaving a breakdown of communication. * My first install was scheduled for 7am at their request. Though I worked past midnight the night before and was there waiting at 6:30, they showed up at 8:30. Another communication error. * The good thing about the install is that it was set up on a Saturday at my request. The bad thing (aside from sitting there for an hour and a half waiting), is that they have no support on Saturdays in the event that a part is missing or there's a question. CUSTOMER SERVICE: 1 of 5. * I give a 1 because when they realized the number of drawers installed was wrong, they jumped quickly to recitify and I very much appreciated that. * When I wasn't available to sign off on the design the moment they finished and couldn't until the following day, I received THREE phone calls over 2 days saying that my boyfriend who opened the garage (since I couldn't rush home for a 4th or 5th day) said it looked ok when they asked him how it looked so they're going to run final payment before I can look at it. Now, he was not party to the agreement- he just let them in and they tried to run my final payment off of that. 2 of the calls were from the general manager and those calls were after I told them I could look at the garage the next day. After all the delays over 2 weeks, 24 hours and they turn into thug bill collectors. This was the final straw. I had issues with Closet World, but this was even worse, so I would just call them- One last note is that when you set up the appointment, be prepared for them to push a bit for you to finalize your plans and make a deposit that day. Don't expect to get time to think about it without a little pressure- read more

A little while back my husband scheduled an appt for a quote. This is not about the work, only about the sales approach. First, the salesperson must have assumed she was going to come deal with just the Mr based on the attire...secondly she wanted me to just choose an epoxy floor and offered no further information, when I asked to see something I might keep (pamphlet or chip samples) as there was a lot of choices, she replied that she 'didn't waste her gas coming out here' if that's all I wanted! It wasn't like she'd arrived in a truck or impressive vehicle either.That ended the decision--didn't care what or how much, she blew it! read more

Poor design, poor execution, poor quality. Worker cut through a drain pipe and then covered up the drywall without repairing. High pressure sales up front (watch out for smooth promises), and lots of arguments as the timelines slip and promises are forgotten. There are too many other options available if you do a little homework. read more

The same thing that happen to Jonathan W happen to me. I spent 10 k several years ago and I wanted to add a cabinet. When I was given my estimate I asked for a little discount since I was a repeat customer and they didn't even want to take off a penny. I see in magazine adds that they'll give you some kind of discount. Anything would have made me happy and felt appreciated that I came back. I tried calling the sales rep and he never called me back. Then a person followed up on me and I told her the same thing and she never called me back either.( I could go on and on about how they DIDN'T do a good job on my floor, and how it's peeling now, and how they're saying its moisture like its my fault. MAKE SURE THEY DO A MOISTURE CHECK ON YOUR FLOOR FIRST OTHERWISE YOUR FLOOR WILL PEEL OFF.) They also did not do the installation properly and scuff up the surface and that is another reason why the flooring is peeling off. I was told I had a 10 year warranty at the time of installation, but when I brought that up they didn't honor it. Please look at the pictures I posted to see what your garage floor will look like in 3 years then be told that nothing last forever. read more

Garage Envy recently completed a total garage renovation (transformation) for us and we couldn't be happier! Our garage was in need of some serious TLC. Our requirements were to create as much storage space (behind doors) as possible as well as leveraging a tall unused ceiling/rafter space. We also wanted to re-epoxy the floor (correct a poor job done by the previous owner). We evaluated 4 garage / cabinet companies before ultimately selecting Garage Envy. Our decision was based on: (i) creativity/design conformance to our requirements, (ii) experience / confidence, and (iii) price (although not the cheapest, within a tight range). From the initial contact through project completion, Garage Envy (and their staff) was prompt and responsive. The project was originally scheduled for about 3 weeks - largely due to enclosing the ceiling and creating an attic / storage space. They kept to the schedule precisely and completed the work with a great attention to detail on time. Furthermore, they went above and beyond my expectations - it's the little things that make a difference...and really cost them nothing, but made a difference to us. Special thanks to Barry, Miguel, and the rest of their team for making our garage one to envy :-). read more

I never spend the time to do something like this, but our experience with the company was exceptional and the end product exceeded our expectations. After 5 remodels to our home, we know contractors. This, though was a very pleasant and professional experience. Our "team" consisted of Jenn the designer, Crystal the project coordinator, Sam the project foreman, and Claudia in the Accessories Dept. I'm forgetting the name of the gentleman who did the flooring but he was great too. I'm in a service industry so I appreciate responsiveness, and this was extraordinary from all, especially Claudia! While all of the service is great, the real proof of the pudding is the job, and our grungy old 1941 garage is now a pretty cool looking thing. And yes, per PMS the brushed aluminum for the cabinets is definitely the way to go. Highest recommendation! read more

The installation team (Tashchyan brothers) from Garage Envy were excellent!!! These young men were outstanding. They were prompt, quiet, clean and respectful...truly professional. I am a stickler for detail and I could not find one thing to complain about. read more

Garage floor was done in 2007 with a 10 year warranty. Floor is starting to come up. Seems Closet World bought out company and will not uphold warranty work? Have tried calling multiple times with NO resolution. read more

I first saw the company because my neighbor was remodeling their garage. I saw their truck and walked over to take a peek. They were getting their floors done and it was looking good! When I called the company, they sent a designer out to give me a Free quote! I was only calling about my floor, but they also do closets and interiors so of course I did it all! FYI garage envy IS storage envy, they do everything and I'm really happy that I took that step to ( in their words) give my fiancé and I our dream garage! I also got a beautiful closet out of it too. Thank you Erna and Bob P. for all your hard work. Keep it up! read more

I used garage envy 6 years ago for storage cabinets and a work bench and they did a stellar job. I needed some upper cabinets made and installed for additional storage space.

As first-time homeowners, my wife and I were a little nervous about beginning home improvements. We've heard the horror stories from friends juggling multiple contractors to get their home-addition done, only to find out when there were problems, everyone blamed everyone else. We were also concerned that since our home was an old Craftsman and we had some weird space-constraints, off the shelf cabinets might not fit like we want them to or might look too "modern". Enter Garage Envy. Upon our initial consultation (which was free by the way), our salesman Bob put to rest all of our fears. It turns out that Garage Envy is the manufacturer as well(!) so we were able to get ALL of our cabinets custom-sized for every nook and cranny in our garage! Not only that, but when it came to color-matching, we were presented with an unlimited array of finishes. Bob suggested some pastels that contrasted beautifully with the exposed natural Doug-Fur of the back wall of our garage. We decided on a raised-panel style cabinet-face that looked amazing. The finished product (cabs) were as nice as our kitchen cabs! Bob also reminded us that Garage Envy operates as a general contractor. It was such a relief that one company could take care of our electrical, lighting and other finishing needs. And they did. In summation, our garage looks fantastic. Bob was professional, the installers were punctual and the project was right on budget. They come highly recommended! read more
