Nate and his crew did an outstanding job on my garage floor. Nate explained everything I needed to know about the process ahead of time. He seems very knowledgeable and is a pleasure to work with. The estimate for the job was very reasonable and the final cost to me was exactly what he quoted. Nate kept us informed during the whole process and did whatever he promised. Best of all, our new polymer/epoxy floor looks great! I'm very happy with my new floor. I will recommend Garage Store to my friends. read more

The Garage Store was great! We are so happy with our garage storage install and experience. I quoted 4 different companies and Garage Store offered us what we wanted at competitive pricing, we felt good about the service we would get, and we felt like the associate we worked with (Ray) listened to what we wanted and helped us envision our final product while also still using some of what we already have. The installers we had were great! They were friendly and communicated with us throughout the day. All around great experience! read more

He was thorough with our options, worked with our (very limited) schedule, and communicated well during the entire process. Pricing was very reasonable as well :). read more

This is the second time we have used Ray and the Garage Store. Both times we were more than pleased with both the floor coating as well as the installation of the gear wall. Ray is extremely professional and goes above and beyond what we were expecting.

Garage Store was recommended to us by friends. We called around and found GS to be competitively priced. They were the first company to get back to us right away and even gave us an in person estimate. Other companies gave us quotes over the phone, but GS came out even tho we're approx 40miles from their business. They pointed out some concrete issues and helped us decide the best treatment so we could keep the costs down. The owner came out to help us when we decided to add more work, and he was very helpful in making sure they could finish the job asap. Overall we are very happy with the work they did, and our garage now looks great and is well organized. read more

Our garage floor paint was peeling up and our concrete was starting to crack and was getting divots due to years of salt and water seeping into the floor. We contacted the Garage store because of the great ratings. The crew did a great job! The floor looks outstanding after they ground the concrete and removed the original paint. The filled all cracks, etched/treated the floor and applied several coats of specialized paint with the sparkling sprinkled flakes that added a great texture. We are very happy with the professional job they did. We paid slightly more than six dollars per square foot. Worth every penny. read more

I am beyond happy with Jim and his crew. I hired them to epoxy my garage floor and my walkway and front porch. I had "stuff" in my garage that I couldn't remove, so he provided a trailer and a crew to remove it all and put it back after it was done. It looks beautiful. read more

Garage Store - This is the garage floor Jim's crew epoxied. - Flooring Near Me - East Dundee, Illinois

Garage Store Illinois came highly recommended and did not disappoint! Jim was on time and professional, communication was easy and clear, and installation was absolutely perfect. My barely-two-car-garage has been transformed and it has made our lives so much easier. BTW, I am a professional organizer, so I am more than picky. Thanks again Jim. read more

The team, and especially Ray, were great. They arrived on time, finished the job on time, and the our new garage is perfect. They replaced all our garage storage and cabinets and laid a beautiful epoxy floor without any single issue. Thanks Garage Store and Ray!! read more

Customer focused and reliable garage organization. Highly recommended!! My family and I are very happy with our garage system.

We recently hired Garage Store to help us create a more functional space for our 3-car garage that was seriously disorganized. We couldn't be happier that we did! Not only was the team professional and highly skilled at problem solving and offering solutions, but they were on time and on budget. On top of that, they followed all Covid protocols. We would highly recommend them. read more

These guys were fantastic, responsive and spent a lot of time making our garage look like the Gladiator catalog. Every time out, the reminded with courtesy calls and texts to coordinate. They also saved me some money with their overhead storage suggestions. I cannot recommend them highly enough! read more

I called The Garage Store for a quote regarding the repair / sealing of my quickly deteriorating garage floor. They came in, measured, scheduled and completed the floor in my garage per specs. and quote. It wasn't an easy install as there were permanent work benches and stairs involved. They went around everything and it looked like the benches had been moved and replaced. I couldn't believe it. Very impressed and satisfied with the job. read more

These guys were excellent! They did a large basement project with a large and knowledgeable crew that was able to work efficiently.

I am absolutely critical in my reviews and that's because there are only a few businesses that you get what you actually pay for including work that is done right. You definitely get what you pay for using Garage Store. My experience with them was nothing short of extreme professionalism as well as great workmanship. I had two 4x8's and one 4x6 overhanging garage shelves installed in my garage. If you're familiar with this shelving system, it supports about 600-800 lbs when installed right into the joists in your ceilings. If you think you're handy and you order a set, it'll still take you a long time to figure out the right way to install these shelves. I took no chances as I didn't want to find my vehicles buried under a pile of crap from not being installed right. If you live in the city, your garage most likely has a sheet of drywall covering the ceiling and its also braced with with aluminum studs. Unless you're familiar with construction, finding the wooden ceiling joists are difficult even with a stud finder. Now, throw in a construction crew that didn't bother to do things with right angles and you'll never figure it out unless you cut holes in your ceiling. Jim was prompt during the initial quotation visit. They provided several options on the best way to secure the shelves. The day of the appointment, Anthony arrived and was early. He spent a good amount of his day working and making sure everything was right. He definitely knows what he's doing and didn't miss a beat installing the shelves. After sitting outside and watching him install the shelves, I was glad I didn't do it myself. He accommodated all my requests in securing it into the concrete wall and making sure everything was sturdy. If I didn't have that much junk in my home, I'd consider turning the shelves into a overhanging beds and renting out my garage. If you're in the Chicagoland area, these are the most reliable guys that can do the install for you even if you decided to purchase the shelves yourself through Costco or Home Depot. Having these pros do it is money well spent and for peace of mind. read more

I am very pleased with the work done by Jim and his crew. Our epoxy floor looks awesome! They even put epoxy trim around the garage which put the icing on the cake. They were fast, efficient and clean. It looks perfect. My husband was especially very pleased with the job (that doesn't happen often!). He already referred a co-worker to Garage Store. Thank you again - I highly recommend Garage Store. They are fairly priced, efficient and do great work. I love businesses that take pride in their craft and in providing customers with excellent work and service. Keep up the good work! read more

Garage Store nailed it! Seriously couldn't be happier with our project, from start to finish it was a great experience. Our project consisted of a 2 car garage and a separate single car garage, removal and disposal of old shelving, new flooring and new organization systems. Nic was fantastic to work with, very patient and knowledgeable. Assessed our space with attention to detail and brought great ideas without being pushy. I reached out to 2 other vendors and am so happy I went with Garage Store after a referral from a family member. Cannot recommend them enough! read more

After the pain in having our basement flooded and having take out the old carpet I was surprised that having the floor done by Garage Store was not only easier but cheaper then replacing the carpet! They were easy to work with and fast. Everyone is amazed by the look and the ease of taking care of when we have a family party! read more

E-mailed them for a quote. Very responsive. Judy does a great job managing the front office and inquiries via electronic means. Actually, impressive as compared to most businesses. Ray came out this morning. Quieter guy but did what he needed to do. This place came as a referral from my next door neighbor. The downside and hence the reason for the lower stars (sorry) was the price. They were very expensive for the epoxy floor. I'm still questioning why the price was so high and really couldn't figure that out. I'm sure they do good work....my neighbor's garage floor looked great when we looked at it last week. As we told Ray, our plain concrete floor looks mighty fine. LOL. read more

This is a review late coming; sorry Jim. I needed my garage organized and brought in a couple different vendors. I liked what Jim Melchart and Garage Store presented. The outcome was great. I went from a 3-car garage that could only hold 2 cars to a true 3-car garage. I love the versatile siding where i can use numerous different hooks and holders to completely customize my garage. I should have taken some pictures. My family's bikes are all hanging on the walls along with all the garden "thingys". I even had them put some plywood in the crawl space above the garage along with a pull down ladder so now I moved all my seasonal stuff up there. And I had my garage floor re-done. It wasn't cheap, but two years later I am still very satisfied. If you want to take back you garage, call Jim at the Garage Store! - Sean McMillan read more

Jim Melchert is a true professional who provided unparalleled customer service. He quickly assessed my garage to determine the best tailored storage shelves to install in order to maximize my space. The technician who installed my garage shelves, Tony, did an outstanding job! I was extremely happy with the results. After reorganizing my garage, using my new shelving units, it appears that my garage had a full face lift and hair cut! I am so glad to get rid of the clutter and I am thoroughly enjoying the new space, created by my new garage shelves. I highly recommend Garage Store to maximize your garage space and eliminate the clutter! read more

We had our entire garage redone this year. It looks great and is right in line with what we have budgeted. This place does quality work and Jim is both professional and creative. We would recommend this company to anyone who needs garage work completed in the Fox Valley. read more

Cannot say enough wonderful things about Garage Store. From the second I reached out about work done in my garage to the completion of the work, this company has been nothing but amazing to work with. Jocelyn was extremely friendly and beyond accommodating when it came to scheduling and answering any questions prior to the work being done. Tony, who installed shelving, hooks, etc. into our garage could not have done a better job. He gave me advice on everything we needed and installed it exactly as I envisioned. Our garage looks FABULOUS!!! I would recommend this company to anyone and everyone! read more

The Garage Store did an amazing job!!! We have a small garage which was stuffed to the gills and a disorganized mess. The Garage Store came in, made a plan, and made the plan a reality! They efficiently used every square inch of our garage and turned the mess into an organized layout. The guys were extremely great to work with. This was a surprise for my husband and they stayed and helped me put items in logical and useful places. I highly recommend this company. Their prices are pretty comparable to other places. read more

This company just finished grinding, leveling, waterproofing and coating my old, bare basement floor. Their price was excellent. The installation went like clockwork. The results are astonishing. It is a pleasure to go into these rooms now. We should have done this years ago. Top points to the Garage Store and their staff. read more

Happy wife - happy life and a great looking garage helps. Shelving units installed to keep things off the floor. Height adjusted so I don't need to balance on a ladder to place items on the shelves. Floor looks great and GS employees Tim & Alex were professional, arrived as scheduled and explained the steps they were using to make my garage look great. Should have bit the bullet years ago. Thanks Jim, you have a great crew & support staff. read more

The Garage Store team was fantastic. They arrived on time to estimate the work that I needed. The price was fair. They did the job when they said that they would. The finished job exceeded my expectations. Nice job guys! read more

The Garage Store guys came out an installed an overhead shelving unit in my vintage brick garage and a I LOVE IT! I shopped around and decided to go with this family-owned place instead of the big box stores, hoping it would mean better service and quality. And that's exactly how it worked out! read more

The Garage Store removed all of our old cabinetry, repaired 60 years' worth of pitting and significantly large cracks in our concrete slab, re-leveled our garage floor to drain properly, epoxy coated the flooring surface, painted the entire garage, and designed/installed organization cabinetry and lighting. Jim from the Garage Store was fantastic to work with and made great suggestions without trying to push additional costs, and provided us just what we needed in order to stay within our budget. His team was friendly and professional. They did a nice job of keeping the work areas clean and neat at the end of each day. They informed us about when they were starting and leaving as well as any precautions we need to take with the garage. The team made the entire process easy, simple, and quick (all completed in one week once scheduled). As the pictures show, the transformation was amazing and our garage is now one of the nicest rooms in our home. Jim's team is very service oriented. We cannot be more pleased with the work and the company!!! read more

Great product. My garage floor looks like it was replaced. No more cracks and uneven concrete . Easy to maintain and most of all a great company to work with. The work crew came on time and explained the process and did a wonderful job. No worry or hassle!!!!! Annette R read more

My thanks to Jim and the team for their recent efforts designing and installing a complete garage and workroom organization systems. In the garage, the team installed a wall system with cabinets and organizing baskets/hooks. In the workroom, they installed a wall system, work benches and cabinets. The entire process from design to installation only took ~2.5 weeks. They were very easy to work with and had great ideas. RECOMMENDED: YES read more

Great service, highly coordinated, always call to let you know schedule, and great job on garage painting and epoxy.

This is a great company and I would recommend them to anyone. Owner Jim is professional and first-rate. They did an excellent job renovating my garage. Their attention to detail is outstanding, and that is coming from a demanding customer who has the curse of the eagle-eye. But I am completely satisfied with the quality of the work. Tony was conscientious and diligent and his perfectionism led to great results. All of the crew members were respectful, showed up on time, and completed their work without requiring anything of the homeowner. Jim happens to be a former Marine, and it shows in the way he runs this business! read more

The Garage Store recently finished doing the floor of our 3 door garage. Jim and his staff were very professional and the finished product looks great! I highly recommend Garage Store and would use them again. Great service and great result! read more

Jim and the team were true professionals! We found the company online, reached out, got an estimate and had a beautiful basement floor in a week. It looks better than we imagined. Highly recommended! read more

Completely exceeded my every expectation. Had my garage modified, lift installed, and all electrical work done exactly when they promised to have it complete. Every one of the crew were knowledgeable and professional, something that can be rare these days. Will do business with again. read more
