Our Story
About New Life Garages
Family owned on the Central Coast since 1978. 48 years serving the same neighborhoods we live in.
48 years on the Central Coast
New Life Garages is a brand of New Life Painting & Remodeling — the family-owned company Chuck Winkles founded on the Central Coast in 1978. For the last 48 years, the same family has been painting, remodeling, and finishing homes across San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties. Garages are the natural next step.
Most companies installing garage floors and cabinets in our area are 2-to-5-year-old franchises or solo operators. We're neither. We're the same crew our neighbors have hired for decades — same ownership, same values, same number to call. That's the foundation behind every floor we coat and every cabinet we install.
Our installers are W-2 employees, not subcontractors. They're trained, accountable, and here for the long haul. The same person we send to install your floor today is who we'll send if anything ever needs attention down the road.

Paint It Forward
For 48 years, the Central Coast has been good to our family. Paint It Forward is how we give back — a community charity that supports local families and nonprofits across San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties. Every project we take on, on the garage side or the painting side, helps fund that work.
What We Build
Two Pillars. One Finished Garage.
Polyurea, Not Epoxy
Our premium polyurea system is stronger and more flexible than traditional epoxy — it won't chip, peel, or yellow under hot tires and UV. One-day install, drive on in 24 hours.
Custom-Sized Cabinets
Strux cabinets built to exact size requirements for each garage. Professional, intentional layouts with clean lines and zero wasted space — fully powder coated on every surface.
Family-Owned Since 1978
Founded by Chuck Winkles 48 years ago. We're not a franchise and we don't sub the work out — our W-2 crew handles every project, and the same number you call today is still our number tomorrow.
