Davie, FL garage storage systems and cabinets

Davie had 110,320 residents at the 2020 census, which made it the largest town in Florida by population. It still keeps much of its rural, Western character. In 2001, voters approved a charter amendment to preserve that rural and equestrian lifestyle with nearly 90% support. The Town of Davie's Farm Guide describes many horse farms and nurseries and more than 165 miles of trails.

Housing ranges widely: acreage neighborhoods with barns and trail access, gated communities such as Long Lake Ranches beside the equestrian trails, and condos, townhomes and houses around the golf course at Pine Island Ridge.

So the garage holds more here: a riding mower and fence tools on a bigger lot, boots, helmets and grooming kits for a rider, a full set of hand and power tools for a hobbyist. We give each item a fixed place, so the cars still fit and you can find a socket wrench without digging.

A workshop garage starts with the workbench. Choose the top for the work you do: stainless steel for greasy jobs, butcher block for woodworking, or Ebony Star or Milano Quartz for a cleaner look.

Above and beside the bench, slatwall or gridwall holds the tools you reach for most. Our tool accessories include a magnetic tool holder, a screwdriver rack, a small tool rack and a 24-inch long tool bar, all movable without drilling new holes. Rakes, shovels and brooms hang on J-hooks and double hooks instead of leaning in a corner.Cabinets handle the rest. The shelves inside our garage cabinets are rated to 100 lb, so they're built for cases of fasteners, paint and heavy power tools.

According to the National Weather Service forecast office in Miami, July and August are South Florida's hottest months, and the daily heat index often reaches 100°F or more. Add rainy-season humidity, and a garage breeds rust on hand tools, swollen cardboard boxes and mildew on anything left damp.

Materials matter here. The cabinet boxes are wood under a moisture-, stain- and fade-resistant melamine surface, the hardware is rust-resistant stainless steel, and closed doors keep dust and damp off what's inside.

Feed, birdseed and pet food attract pests; our post on what not to store in a garage explains why. If they have to stay, use sealed bins.

Mud from the trails and grass clippings from the mower end up on the garage floor. Swisstrax tiles handle it well: water from a rinse runs beneath the tiles and out of the garage or evaporates. Diamondtrax Home tiles have a diamond-plate look that suits a workshop. For a side-by-side comparison, see garage floor tiles vs. epoxy in Florida.

The designer walks the garage with you and asks about the tools you own, what you park, where you work and what you want to spend. The 3D design comes together while you watch, and you can move the bench, add a cabinet or change a color before you get the quote. Installation usually follows a few weeks later, and the crew can remove old shelving and clean up. We're based in Coral Springs and don't have a showroom, so the designer brings finish and hardware samples to your home. The four-step process explains each stage, or you can request a free design consultation.

A Google reviewer named Randy summed it up as "Quality products and install."

The eight garage cabinet colors and four countertops are on our garage options page, and the full set of hooks, racks, baskets and bins is on the garage accessories page. Price depends on the number and size of cabinets, the finish and the installation labor, all explained in how much custom garage cabinets cost. Promotional Synchrony financing is available.
