Serving Lakeway and nearby communities.
Lakeway garages carry more than cars. Between kayaks, dock gear, and lawn equipment for properties near Lake Travis, a lot of homeowners run out of usable wall space fast. Lakeway Custom Cabinets builds garage storage to the actual dimensions of your garage, not a modular kit sized for a generic bay.
We account for things pre-fab kits don't: uneven slab height from older homes, wall studs that don't line up with stock cabinet widths, and gear that needs to survive summer heat swings inside an unconditioned garage.
Materials
Materials and methods for Garage Storage Cabinets
Garage cabinetry takes more daily abuse than kitchen cabinetry, so we build and finish for it.
Heavy-Duty Plywood
Supports the weight of tools, coolers, and boating gear without sagging shelves over time.
Wall-Mounted Brackets
Anchors cabinets directly into studs so units stay solid even in garages with uneven slab grading.
Slatwall Panels
Lets you hang paddles, hoses, and tools without eating into cabinet shelf space.
Industrial Hardware
Hinges and latches rated for frequent daily use and temperature swings in an unconditioned space.
Protective Coatings
Resists oil, fertilizer, and lake-water splash better than a painted finish alone.
Custom Shelving Inserts
Configured around specific gear, kayak paddles, tackle boxes, or lawn tools, instead of generic bins.

Garage Storage Cabinets FAQs
How much do garage storage cabinets cost in Lakeway?
Most garage cabinet projects run $2,500 to $9,000 depending on wall coverage, material, and whether slatwall or workbench features are included.
How long does garage cabinet installation take?
Build time runs 2 to 4 weeks after design approval, with a single-day install for most garages.
Do I need a permit for garage storage cabinets?
Standard wall-mounted or freestanding cabinetry doesn't need a permit. Adding new electrical circuits does.
Can I install garage cabinets myself?
Light-duty shelving is a reasonable DIY project. Heavy-duty units anchored to studs and built around specific gear do better with professional measuring and install.
What's the difference between slatwall and standard cabinets?
Slatwall gives you flexible hanging storage for odd-shaped items like paddles and hoses, while cabinets give you enclosed, dust-protected storage.
Will garage cabinets hold up to Texas heat?
When built with the right plywood core and protective coating. We don't recommend particle-board kits for unconditioned Central Texas garages.
