About the service
I build custom garage workshops around a single anchor piece: a heavy-duty built-in workbench paired with a matching pegboard wall system, sized to your bay and the way you actually work. Every project starts with an on-site measurement of the garage «footprint» — stud spacing, door swing, ceiling drops, existing outlets, and any slope in the slab — because a bench that looks level on paper can rock on a real floor if that slope is ignored.
Workbench tops are chosen for the trade, not just for looks: solid butcher-block hardwood for woodworking and fine assembly, welded steel plate or powder-coated diamond-plate for engine and metalwork stations, and phenolic-resin or epoxy-coated plywood where solvents, oil, and standing water are a daily fact. Every top is edge-banded or radiused so sleeves and forearms don't catch a raw corner during a long session.
The pegboard wall is not an afterthought — it's laid out on a grid keyed to the actual hand tools, clamps, and power-tool cases the owner uses, with reinforced hardboard or steel pegboard panels screwed into a full plywood backer (never straight into drywall), so hooks stay put under real load instead of pulling through over time. French-cleat strips, shadow-board cutouts for frequently-grabbed tools, and a dedicated slot for the shop vacuum hose are laid out before a single hole is drilled.
Power is planned in, not bolted on after: a surface-mounted outlet strip is routed along the underside of the bench lip and up the pegboard frame, with a licensed electrician pulling the circuit and I coordinate the rough-in so cords never cross the working surface. Drawer banks, a kneehole for a stool, and a lower shelf for bins are added where the layout calls for them, and every joint is glued and mechanically fastened — no pocket screws left to work loose under vibration from a bench grinder or drill press.
Finish is matched to the shop: catalyzed lacquer or hardwax oil on wood tops for a repairable surface, and a two-part epoxy or powder coat on metal for chemical resistance. A typical single-bay build — bench, pegboard wall, and outlet strip — runs about one to two weeks from the measurement visit to final walkthrough, depending on drawer count and finish cure time. I bring samples of top materials and pegboard panel gauges to the first visit so the choice is made by hand, not from a catalog photo.
