What's New at A Custom Garage for 2011?
After 5 years of steady success in a highly competitive market, A Custom Garage continues to dominate its industry. By listening to our customer's ideas and feedback during and after construction we have now restructured our business to have more and more effective means of communication between our customers and staff. With phone system upgrades, we are now able to be reached via phone(at the number above), sms text, mms, email( acustomgarage_yahoo.com), facebook, and through our DIY web pages. Instant feedback to customer and potential customer questions is now available 24hrs a day.
Our product line has expanded to include CNC milled european industrial grade cabinetry through an ever growing relationship with The Garage Experts(tm). High quality, super fast return to use capabilities, and green building materials are only the tip of the iceburg with The Garage Experts(tm) product line. We can even offer one day garage makeovers including cabinets and flooring.
Our general contracting license will be expanding soon as well to include a few specialty fields to allow us maximum advertising exposure. We were even fortunate to acquire two new domains; www.cagaragecabinets.com , and www.californiagaragecabinets.com ; both of which are fully functioning html based sites that offer faster load times for customers with slower internet connections. Look for us soon on your mobile devices with our up an coming mobile domains.
Our coatings have also been improved. We are now including an additional clear coat (5mils) at no additional charge to you. We take pride in our coatings and the custom garage we leave with our customers. So as our way of giving back to you, and staying one step(and one coat) ahead of the competition, A Custom Garage now offers our premium coatings system at our standard price. If a mirror finish on your garage floor isn't for you, then we will even discount your coatings by 25% if a single clear coat is more your taste.
Premium Garage Cabinets & Concrete Coatings
Our standard cabinets are constucted on-site, not pre-fabricated in a shop , and not simply purchased at a home improvement store. All cabinetry sold through A Custom Garage is guaranteed to stay as solid and functional for as long as your home stands. We use premium materials and the most comprehensive construction in the Garage Renovation Industry. How solid are our cabinets? We stopped our weight tests at 1200 lbs per cabinet with no adverse affects to our product.
The standard materials we use are:
- Medium Density Fiber sheet stock, which prepared correctly will outlive melamine in a garage environment;
-100% Acrylic Paints, applied with unrivaled quality and color matching capabilities;
-Black Chrome or Stainless Steel Handles are standard; All Amerock, Laureys styles are available;
-countertops from WilsonArt, Formica, Pionite, and Nevamar offer literally hundreds of colors to choose;
-to put our product over the top we also build a steel frame inside of the cabinets to keep them rigid, and prevent breakouts due to overloading.
To keep your garage clean during the install we equip our machines with dust extractors to minimize sawdust from construction. Our final clreanup includes a complete vacuum and washdown to leave little to no evidence of our on site construction.
Epoxy Floors & Concrete Coatings
Before the negative associations you've heard about peel ups, hot tires staining, and ignorant installers sway you from this home improvement, let us explain why this is truly the finishing touch to your garage makeover. First, our products have NONE of the problems you see above. We deal directly with our chemical manufacturer to not only get you the best pricing, but to stay ahead of our competition. We offer an unequalled one year unconditional scratch warranty on our floors. That means even if you manage to scratch our garage coatings, we will repair them free during the first year . After that our standard guarantee against peeling, and delamination takes over.
How long does it take, and how long do you have to stay off the floor. Not seven days like many of our competitors, if necessity requires we can install commercial quality flooring when businesses close and have them ready the following morning. As for your garage floor, you can begin puting away your belongings only hours after we finish .
The most common cause of failure with floor coatings isn't poor concrete prep, as many of our competitors try to gain your confidence by saying they use diamond grinding, or shotblasting to provide a lasting coating. The most common cause of failure is inexperienced applicators using sub-par products or simply the wrong products in general.
What makes A Custom Garage different from the competition?
For starters , we are not a franchise, nor are we one of America's 500 fastest growing companies. For you this means that we are fully accountable for mistakes, we understand the woodworking required, and we are familiar with the concrete chemistry in the locations we contract in. The garage renovation industry has been flooded with third party franchise based businesses that lack the specific knowledge of not merely California's building codes and practices, but many lack the fundamental woodworking skills and concrete chemistry knowledge needed to offer safe products that will live up to their warranties. How can we make this claim, because we are consistently grinding up coatings from inexperienced applicators to apply our coatings, and tearing down and donating poorly constructed cabinetry. We take down so many cabinets that we will soon be adding a free & discounted cabinetry section to our site to truly offer something for every budget.
Our greatest difference is how we can actually live up to our name. We don't take pictures of the "one of a kind" ideas that we are sometimes asked to engineer and build, because it goes against the principle of "one of a kind", literally.We will, on the other hand, tell you some of the "custom" ideas we have turned into realities. Hidden compartments are old news, we've engineered sliding walls, pullout staircases, gun reloading closets, keyless(fingerprint reading) entry rooms, attic lift systems, and safe rooms; and have been asked to go as far as making underground shooting ranges(thats plural on purpose) and safe home escape routes for high end clients. We keep our clientele private, and have survived on word of mouth until now.
How do we stay affordable?
Our goal is to offer the best possible materials and construction that is affordable for each client. To accomplish this, we keep our overhead low by not outsourcing our marketing, advertising, or construction. Even this site is built by us, not a third party(so bear with us as it is always under construction)...
