Sleezy E Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Hey guys, I just bought a new house a few weeks ago and I'm looking to get some built in cabinets in it to go with my new shiny epoxy floor I figured there's many like minded fellas on this fine forum that may have some personal experience with some local guys that do this sort of thing. I've got a couple guys coming over to give me some estimates already, but just wanted to throw it out there cause personal experiences are always best Obligatory garage pic...

SLAMMER Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Cheepest way is to buy preassembled kitchen cabs. Formica top and your done. I built my own and finished in lacquer gloss black. SLAMMER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleezy E Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 That was my first plan, and what I did at my last house... If I end up getting quotes for ridiculous $$ I'll end up going that way again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie44 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Classy Closets did mine. One thing they suggested and I'm glad they did was legs on the wall cabinets. Much easier to hose out the mess. We also only did them for the bench and third bay. More room in the double bay minimizes door dings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mounted them on 2x4's to raise them up higher to my liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extender32 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Have you conidered going to Lowes and buying some Kobalt garage cabinets? For about $500 you can get 2 of their 60"x30'x21 floor cabinets and 2 of their smaller 36"x30"x21 cabinets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleezy E Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 Thanx! We had a his and hers checklist when we went house shopping.. she got her kitchen and walk in closet/bathroom... I got my garage and 4th bedroom "man cave!" Now I just have to furnish everything. First step was the flooring, 2 coats took about 3 days. Next is cabinets then work bench, lighting etc... plan on having a Maxjax In there this time next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desertdawg Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I say ... ACE party at your house. Since you you still need to furnish it we won't be able to break much. FYI. BadBob can get a discount on midget strippers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLAMMER Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Saw this at Costco today 10' 2"" long all metal photo DOSN'T show left cabinet bank. No room on shelf. has metal feet to allow to clean under cabinets. $999.99 seems like sturdy Ga. Metal. Just an idea!! SLAMMER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
