What recent reviews say
Garage Living earns consistent five-star praise for garage floors, lifts, and storage installations across the Ottawa area. Their crew arrives on schedule, grinds and finishes work methodically (crews named: Ryan, Max, Samson, Nick), cleans daily, and stays to explain each step. One reviewer switched after a competitor's floor failed within a year; Garage Living removed the old coating properly and delivered a superior finish.
Staff pride themselves on car enthusiasm and problem-solving: they assessed a 4% slope concern before a lift install, handled poor prior workmanship, and repositioned existing shelves to original spots. Reviewers emphasize that the team genuinely cares about the outcome, finishes ahead of schedule, and leaves worksites spotless.
