Completely Transforming my Home 2 Car Garage - MASSIVE RENOVATION

I made my 2 car home garage into a SHOWROOM on a DIY budget! From a cluttered mess to a brand new garage to include new flooring, new LED hexagon lightings, organization, tools, and more! It looks so good now!

Although there are a lot more other car KZbinrs to watch but in my opinion you're one of the most entertaining

[@bigfwopl4873]

Agreed

[@mokujin6507]

Imo, becz he doing cool cars on your aaverage garage😂😂 And preety much he make it looks easy, something that we "could" do at home.. ( i dont have his skill though) 😅😅😅😅

[@matt13ross]

Thanks so much guys, I appreciate it!

[@robgreenstein5917]

Fantastic. Now you will be motivated to keep the garage well organized and spotless as you work!.

[@matt13ross]

Exactly right!

[@1jbunceiii]

One thing to check is under under the tiles in about a month, my garage would trap condensation water under the rubber tiles, you may get a musty smell.

[@jurbachify]

Especially since he washed the floors right before putting in the tiles. The floors still looked wet. Hopefully a non-issue.

[@matt13ross]

Time will tell for sure.

[@marcelx8369]

Jap, you have the same with those "playing tiles for kids". The whole dust and dirt of your room will collect under it. And in a garage, there will be oil, fluids, dirt etc. A sealing, in my opinion, would be the better alternative. Imagine one example: Where does the water go, when the car was in the rain. Under the tiles.

[@g.dubyou6263]

I see these tiles being a sh@tshow. Turn the cars wheels, on these, and they may just turn into a pile of rubber.

[@2GUNMASTER]

That is definitely gonna happen.

[@chumpvette2291]

Nice camera work at 18:53. Changes look good. The lighting is always a huge improvement. Just amazing when you can see what you are working on. Can't wait to see the 997 finished. Been a journey.

[@scottc78]

What's cool is that I'm here right now when this is new before people see future videos and assume the garage has always been like this. Great work, way to maximize your space!

[@WatchChrisCulpepper]

What a transformation! Like you said, it was already re-done and wasn't bad, but now I bet you are more excited to work in there! Looks fantastic! Thanks for linking the products too! 👀

[@charha01]

"Gotta work with what I got" is the story of my life. Nice job on making your workspace a better place to be.

[@matt13ross]

Haha same here!

[@fjones1914]

The garage looks great! That overhead lighting setup seems to be a favorite of a lot of the car folks on KZbin. I like it also.

[@johnwayne2103]

When you need to break down large pieces of plywood use some foam insulation board as a support on the ground and a straight edge and a circular saw. way easier and safer to break down.

[@evanwheeler7687]

Love the garage transformation. Your editing continues to get better and better, too. I'm sure these upgrades make you feel even better about stepping out there.

[@billhibbard8664]

Looks amazing! It’s inspired me to clean up and organize my garage on a rainy Saturday. 👍

[@TripleThreatMustang]

Another inspiring video! Man, you really get it done, no matter what the challenge is. Garage came out sick, especially for the budget. I still think some big company should sponsor you and get you a legit shop with all the talent you have, especially for Porsches. But, watching you do what you do in a small home garage is what makes your channel so unique and your videos worth watching. Great Job!

[@matt13ross]

I would love that! Maybe some day. And thank you!

[@AtownCangri]

5 stars!!! Love it!!! Looks soooooo clean!!! Need some lighting and flooring like that on mine 💪

[@rauhvelt]

The amount of work you put in these videos is really impressive. Definitely one of the best car channels out here.

[@matt13ross]

I appreciate that a bunch!!

[@pollatso]

Very cool you have everyone helping. Looks great 👍👍🙏🇬🇧

[@justfasial01]

wow the flooring makes all the difference

[@matt13ross]

Sure does!

[@BradAtteberry]

Looks great and a LOT of good storage and lighting ideas!

[@MrStlvette]

Garage looks awesome! That lighting makes a huge difference.

[@alanschreiber]

Woow! Amazing transformation! Nice cars and nice garage! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@DieselGlo]

Dang, all those wall mounted tools (vacuum, extension cord, power washer, etc) look great. Super clean!

[@matt13ross]

Yes I love the stuff from giraffe tools!

[@edwardwilcox6606]

Awesome job Matt & well done helpers too!

[@cnovalles73]

Love it. Organized, well lit and super organized

[@matthewwain9958]

The lighting upgrades are a massive win.. makes working on the cars so much easier IMO. Flooring looks good. Interested to see how it holds up to jack stands, lifts etc with the car weight on them.

[@francisouellette5938]

I've installed something very similar and there are 2 things I dont like. 1) they buckle under the weight of the quickjacks and regular jacks. 2) the liquids are going under the tiles, which makes me wonder what will come out of there someday....

[@SamuelMonteiro16]

Looks great !!! love the lighting definitely need those !

[@cristmh]

Awesome job, Matt! In your own words, that garage is "lit".

[@JosephBader7]

Looks great! Those tiles will make getting under the cars so much more comfortable.

[@matt13ross]

Finding that out right now!

[@Rippers-TV]

Good stuff, practical solutions for the every-day mechanic that doesn't have a pole barn or dedicated full size shop for their hobby!

[@JT-162]

I kinda liked the Rocky 1 vibe of the old version 😁. Amazing how much stuff you packed in and can still access.

[@Harvy500]

Looks fantastic!! Nice and clean too!!

[@Bandiet-ne3zb]

Wouw, this is looking very nice, well done 👌

[@redtill1]

Floor look super sick & lighting looks even better.Your garage now looks like somewhere you’d look fwd too work in.Bruv you definitely have that X factor when it comes to presenting.Aligned with the fact you fix cars that I absolutely love means it all gravy.Keep up your excellent work

[@matt13ross]

Thanks a bunch!

[@tzw5116]

Yes! I’ve been waiting for this one.

[@kensan73]

I like the shape of the lights as well, Matt! I do wish the ceiling was smooth though! Now that the light shows off the texture. But very minor, illluminating your cars perfectly looks fantastic!

[@matt13ross]

Too much work to smooth the ceiling lol.

[@2tothe6]

Looks way better! Good job!

[@mortenvinding]

Amazing work. It looks great

[@kyleedwards9714]

[@corsaroc]

Awesome job now I need to do a make over on my garage starting with lighting as most of my fluorescent bulbs are dead or dieing. Love that led setup.

[@matt13ross]

Lighting makes a huge difference!

[@MichaelSmith-wb1es]

Looks great. I’m building my 71 Camaro and doing a garage remodel at the same time as well.

[@jkennedy706]

Matt, love the garage man! I'm in the middle of a garage re-vamp myself and your vid gave me some "ideas." Thanks for posting and great job as always!

[@matt13ross]

Glad to hear that!

[@krh007]

My suggestin with the supporting pole assuming it is needed for the beam is to get another same matching one. Brace the beam with a temporay wooden 4 x 4 post (or a couple either side of the steel pole and then remove it. Then the two matching steel poles can then be place at either end of the RSJ steel beam (or maybe just say 12-24" in from each end so the centre of the garage is all clear and you no longer have an issue with opening your car doors - problem solved with little cost. The only problem with the hard plastic tiles is not good for any welding if you are in need to to some welding unless you tackle that outside of the garage, other than that it is a massive improvement and efficiency of maximising the space you had to work with. Well done!!!

[@matt13ross]

I'll wait until I get a new place I think.

[@KevinCamposT.]

I came to this channel with your previous garage makeover, it's been 2 years now. congrats you are doing a great job 👍

Matt, garage looks awesome but I gotta tell ya (as if it was not already apparent) You are a Great Uncle! That young man is going to remember all the fun he has had with Uncle Matt! Even better, he is learning some great skills and a never give up mindset! Good on Ya and have a fun weekend! Oh, my 914….we are ready to test fire on Sunday! Wish us luck!

[@matt13ross]

Kind words, thank you!!

[@lorieandpatrickdavies7483]

Looks really, really good! I understand having to live with what you have size wise, but a couple of suggestions: one, I would look into what it would take, and cost to remove that pole supporting that beam in the ceiling. It might be less $$ than you think, and then you could work on one car in the middle of the garage, giving lots of room. You would obviously have to consult a professional before moving the pole, of course. And two, that outside area immediately outside the garage doors would be perfect for a roof/carport, so you could move one/both cars outside, and they would still be under cover, while you work on a third car (ie. BMW). A carport (roof supported by four posts) isn't that expensive, and you appear to have lots of room for it.

[@matt13ross]

I've considered both of those! But it comes down to saving the time and money to just get a bigger property and bigger garage.

[@joepaquette7435]

Excellent!!

[@9988amrit]

Love this!

[@paulsanchez4141]

About time looks great

My garage is exactly the same layout, including the stupid post in the middle. This gives me ideas.

[@benvan-ness1030]

Looks great

[@oversteer6771]

I must tell you, you are the only KZbinr I make sure not to press skip add for 😎🤜🏼 trying to help

[@matt13ross]

I appreciate that, thank you!

[@rosegold7975]

You can get another pole and put it under the beam about two feet from the wall with the garage doors. Then you can remove the old pole in the middle. The worst that would happen is sagging in the first couple of years. If that's the case, then put the old center pole back in.

[@matt13ross]

Solid tip!

[@aliq1172]

looks like a garage simulator game upgrade, you leveled up👍 Love it.

[@matt13ross]

Thanks! 👍

[@jackgamble6120]

Problem Example: 11:12 - 12:12 . Moisture barrier needed between the tile and concrete garage floor. How do I know? I did this without a moisture barrier for part of the garage. It became damp/wet under the tile. Concrete on top became dusty/brittle when I swept it. Even with a barrier...light moisture still showed up but MUCH better.

[@alanprobsten2858]

That’s a yuuuge upgrade. Congratulations

[@matt13ross]

Yyyeessssss

[@wyattoneable]

Very nice!

[@caddyzig]

Looks really nice! It’ll be interesting to hear if lying on those bumps (or rolling a creeper over them) is a pain, and if dirt and moisture gets through the joints in time. Looking forward to more videos!

[@matt13ross]

Working in there tonight so I'll update a future video.

Takin it up a level Matt, lookin sweet 👌 I’ve got garage envy! In the UK most houses have garages barely big enough for a unicycle so you’re blessed with the cavernous size of yours! 😂

[@dailydriven991]

Looks awesome. Flooring and a lift are next on my wishlist. Your garage might be a good candidate for a set of MaxJax or something similar. The Porsches especially are small enough that you can probably raise them to a decent height in there despite the low ceilings.

[@matt13ross]

Don't they go higher than quick jacks?

[@dailydriven991]

@@matt13ross they do but not nearly as high as a normal 2 post. Meant specifically for low ceilings but without having to move the quick jacks around all the time and give you more room underneath. They’ve gotten pretty pricey though.
