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.
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.
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) 😅😅😅😅
You need a cabinet for all the bottles of various stuff. It would majorly clean up the space if you couldn't see all the random chemicals sitting on the shelf.
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.
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....
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! 👀
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
Just found your channel. That floor makes that garage look so much bigger! And about those wheels...its your truck so it doesnt matter what anyone else thinks!
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!
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!
I had a similar flooring but after doing lots of oil changes and differential work I found that oil would seep through the cracks in the tiles and would leave oil between the concrete and tiles. I just finished my floor with one of those kits with the colored flakes and it was WAY better.
It looks great! It looks like your garage is a little wider than mine, and I'm jealous. I don't have room to work in mine unless I pull one of the cars out.
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!
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.
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!!!
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.
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 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.
I like the way u delivered detailed work on flooring … as a future recommendation u can install more wall hanging cabinets instead of shelves it will help u keep ur garage cleaner
I'd love to see you do a list of your favorite things you've been sponsored by - you've had multiple jump boxes, tire inflators, code readers etc. Are there any that you have found you've preferred over the other?
Wow, Matt! That was a LOT of work but it looks well worth it! Great job! The editing on this, as well, must have been a lot of work, but then, your skills with this makes your great content even more enjoyable. Thanks! :)
I noticed those honeycomb style lights in a previous video of yours. Not sure if you had any of the other improvements were in at time of filming it. Your garage has definitely improved for the better though.
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! 😂
@@matt13ross it’s laughable bud, until I rebuild it, my house cost equivalent to $830k in freedom units with a 7x15ft garage box! Barely get my mbike and tools in there, no room for activities! 😭
Not for nothing i would check on the beam that you have there , you may not need s support you may be able to move it back or forward or look into an LVL beam they can span 25-30 feet east and you can recess them that would be a little more work.
You could improve the pole situation by replacing the single pole with 2 poles. If you maintain the same span it would allow you to have 2 offset poles away from your door opening area.
Love it! Looking to do similar with my 2 car garage - what's the height of your ceiling as I have a fairly low one too (and overall dimensions of the garage?)
I’m subscribed! I always like your videos! I’ll refrain from the Truck wheel comments, this time! 😂 The garage looks GREAT! Awesome lights. Keep up the fantastic work & videos! Have a Great Weekend! Greg
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.
Especially since he washed the floors right before putting in the tiles. The floors still looked wet. Hopefully a non-issue.
Time will tell for sure.

I see these tiles being a sh@tshow. Turn the cars wheels, on these, and they may just turn into a pile of rubber.
That is definitely gonna happen.
Fantastic. Now you will be motivated to keep the garage well organized and spotless as you work!.
Exactly right!
Although there are a lot more other car RUclipsrs to watch but in my opinion you're one of the most entertaining
Agreed
Imo, becz he doing cool cars on your aaverage garage😂😂

"Gotta work with what I got" is the story of my life. Nice job on making your workspace a better place to be.
Haha same here!
The garage looks great!
That overhead lighting setup seems to be a favorite of a lot of the car folks on RUclips.
I like it also.
The amount of work you put in these videos is really impressive. Definitely one of the best car channels out here.
I appreciate that a bunch!!

Looks amazing! It’s inspired me to clean up and organize my garage on a rainy Saturday. 👍
Dang, all those wall mounted tools (vacuum, extension cord, power washer, etc) look great. Super clean!
Yes I love the stuff from giraffe tools!
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

Kind words, thank you!!
I came to this channel with your previous garage makeover, it's been 2 years now. congrats you are doing a great job 👍
Forever ago, thank you!
Looks great! Those tiles will make getting under the cars so much more comfortable.
Finding that out right now!
I had a similar flooring but after doing lots of oil changes and differential work I found that oil would seep through the cracks in the tiles and would leave oil between the concrete and tiles. I just finished my floor with one of those kits with the colored flakes and it was WAY better.
I kinda liked the Rocky 1 vibe of the old version 😁. Amazing how much stuff you packed in and can still access.
wow the flooring makes all the difference
Sure does!
Amazing Job bro. You've done the work once. Now you have plenty of time for the future.🎉
5 stars!!! Love it!!! Looks soooooo clean!!! Need some lighting and flooring like that on mine 💪
Garage looks awesome! That lighting makes a huge difference.
Good stuff, practical solutions for the every-day mechanic that doesn't have a pole barn or dedicated full size shop for their hobby!
Great video man. I'm down for renovation vids, cleaning, restoring, improvement, etc.
Huge improvement. Well done! 👍🏼
It looks great! It looks like your garage is a little wider than mine, and I'm jealous. I don't have room to work in mine unless I pull one of the cars out.
Good video. I like the succinct narration. The product links are especially appreciated.
Thanks!
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!
Working in there tonight so I'll update a future video.
Use some of those flooring offcuts to cover that bottom shelf of the rolling cart, shelves etc!
Good idea!
Awesome job, Matt! In your own words, that garage is "lit".
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.

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.
Looks great. I’m building my 71 Camaro and doing a garage remodel at the same time as well.
I would have made sure that floor was completely dry before installing. Gonna be so moist forever

I'll wait until I get a new place I think.
Matt,
Great job on the garage floor.
The floor drain probably can be cleared with a k50 drain cleaner. Keep pushing, brother.
I don't think it's a drain. I'm not sure what it is lol
Dude!!! Super proud of your progress with this garage!!! Keep up the great work!
Thanks! Will do!
this dude never gets grease under his finger nails in that garage!
Lol
I must tell you, you are the only RUclipsr I make sure not to press skip add for 😎🤜🏼 trying to help
I appreciate that, thank you!
Been watching you since your early bmw days... making the most of every situation. You da man. Respect!
Thanks for sticking around!
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.
Solid tip!
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.
Lighting makes a huge difference!
Damn... I used have that same (color) 954. Seeing that brought back some memories.
Looks great and a LOT of good storage and lighting
ideas!
Love it. Organized, well lit and super organized
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.
Don't they go higher than quick jacks?
@@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.
I'll look into them!
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!
Glad to hear that!
Very cool you have everyone helping. Looks great 👍👍🙏🇬🇧
I like the way u delivered detailed work on flooring … as a future recommendation u can install more wall hanging cabinets instead of shelves it will help u keep ur garage cleaner
I'm about out of wall space too lol.
Nice bruh! Looks awesome. You've inspired me. Gonna remodel mine. Got some ideas of off yours.
I'd love to see you do a list of your favorite things you've been sponsored by - you've had multiple jump boxes, tire inflators, code readers etc. Are there any that you have found you've preferred over the other?
I use them all! I have them in each vehicle haha. My favorite are the jumper and inflator combos.
You should do that hexagon lighting inside your trailer that would look sick and you did a wicked good job I tip my hat to you
I can't find any 12v
Amazing transformation! You gave me some ideas for mine.
Woow! Amazing transformation! Nice cars and nice garage! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Every time you opened a door, I cringed. Thinking “this is the time IT happens.” Thank you, one less point of stress for me. It looks phenomenal.
Wow, Matt! That was a LOT of work but it looks well worth it! Great job!
The editing on this, as well, must have been a lot of work, but then, your skills with this makes your great content even more enjoyable.
Thanks! :)
Thanks a ton!
Looks great.Curious to know how some f the heavier items on casters roll across the flooring?Does it sink in too much?
Nope they actually roll just fine!
Awesome job Matt & well done helpers too!
I noticed those honeycomb style lights in a previous video of yours. Not sure if you had any of the other improvements were in at time of filming it. Your garage has definitely improved for the better though.
My garage is exactly the same layout, including the stupid post in the middle. This gives me ideas.
E30 hood leaning against tthe wall.👍 edit, looked back at your older videos. Clean car.
E30 coming back soon!
Looks good, could consider painting the ceiling dark to make the lights 'pop' a little more
That would look nice.
This was so satisfying to watch! Now let's go to the backyard or frontyard? hahaha props to you!
My yard needs help lol
@matt13ross ill gladly help but im from Paraguay u.u
looks like a garage simulator game upgrade, you leveled up👍 Love it.
Thanks! 👍
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! 😂
I've been told UK garages are tiny. I couldn't do it!!

That low ceiling would drive me crazy.
Yea it sucks 😞
awesome job!! your garage looks even better now.. what about the entrance/outside floor? that will help the keep the dirt outside
Thanks! Not sure what to do at the entrance.
Nice. I like it , watching from Phoenix, Az 👍
Wouw, this is looking very nice, well done 👌
Come on guys let’s get matt to 200K 🙏👏💯⚡️👍🙌💪😎🔥
I'd be happy with half that!! Lol
I'm new and the thing that brought me here is renovation 😂
Just happy you're here lol
@@matt13ross haha 😄
Interested to see if that flooring lasts. Maybe paint the bottom shelf black.
I'll update in the future.
Great job!
wow, that looks incredible!
Looks way better! Good job!
Yes! I’ve been waiting for this one.
Looks fantastic!! Nice and clean too!!
Just remember me Matt. I was here before you owned an F430.
Halfskies??
You could improve the pole situation by replacing the single pole with 2 poles. If you maintain the same span it would allow you to have 2 offset poles away from your door opening area.
That's a solid idea!
Great job Matt looks awesome
That’s a big transformation!
Great job Matt 👍
Amazing work. It looks great
Love it! Looking to do similar with my 2 car garage - what's the height of your ceiling as I have a fairly low one too (and overall dimensions of the garage?)
Only 7ft ish. Very tight lol
@@matt13ross Cheers - similar to mine (7.7ft). Whats the width / depth of the garage?
22X24 ish
I’m subscribed! I always like your videos!
I’ll refrain from the Truck wheel comments, this time! 😂
The garage looks GREAT! Awesome lights.
Keep up the fantastic work & videos!
Have a Great Weekend!
Greg
Hahah technically that's a truck wheel comment!!
@@matt13ross true but not a negative comment!
Once again, congratulations!
Looks great Matt! My garage needs some love too. Might’ve given me some motivation lol
Yes, get to work! Haha
Came out great nice job! 😎
That floor is awesome
The flooring didn't look that thick to need one. But, was there a transition edge where the flooring meets the front of the garage?
Those wall mounted garage openers might be a good solution as well for down the road
That would be nice for sure.
