What recent reviews say

Ryan and his crew deliver garage floors, lifts, storage, and doors that exceed expectations. Work consistently arrives on schedule, stays clean, and shows care for properties. Customers repeatedly name individual technicians-Samson, Nick, Max-as skilled and personable. Many praise durability after poor prior work elsewhere. The team explains every step and answers questions without brushing past concerns.

Garage Living's strength lies in finishing what others botch. They grind failed coatings properly, install lifts on challenging slopes, and build custom wall storage with precision. Staff pride themselves on knack for detail and willingness to go extra: driveway cleanup, hands-on demos, explaining fabrication mid-job. Satisfaction spans simple floor coats to multi-day renovations.

Sales and design staff earn consistent praise for professionalism and attentiveness, particularly Tala and the Ottawa team. However, post-purchase experience is marked by serious gaps: warranty responses are slow, evasive, and dismissive, with roof leaks, water infiltration, and construction defects taking years to address or going unacknowledged. Buyers report substandard finishes, poor workmanship, and a warranty department that deflects responsibility rather than resolving issues.

Staff are described as helpful and professional. One reviewer had a negative experience with a gas-powered lawnmower that failed within three months and was unable to return it due to a different return policy for gas equipment.
