Garage Labo is the maintenance division of Design Directors Co., Ltd., a shop design and construction company (the same company that operates Tenpo Design Lab). As a professional interiors team, we handle repairs, light remodeling, fixtures, and both interior and exterior work. We handle every kind of shop problem.
A shop is like a car you rely on every day. Consumable parts need replacing, and dirt or wear needs attention. If repairs, maintenance, and regular cleaning are left undone, dirt becomes harder to remove and wear turns into breakdowns. No shop runs forever. Whether it has a short life or stays with you longer is up to you, the shop’s partner — that idea, from our current site, is where we start.
If you need a contact for shop maintenance Tokyo or store repair Tokyo, start with the case studies below and open the closest match. From shop lighting replacement and shop door repair to restaurant leak repair and restoration, we follow the same service groups as the current Garage Labo site (improving effect and conditions; partial works and repairs; equipment and faults; dismantling and restoration).
Find issues early and prevent them growing — from partial interior or exterior work and cleaning to circulation and lighting improvements, we handle a wide range. Proposals are free and tailored to your shop. You can decide whether to go ahead after you see the quote.

No. Survey and proposals are free before you agree to a quote. Charges begin after you agree. We may not be able to take distant locations.
It depends on the job, but we often split the work so service can continue. Night work is also available.
One year on fixtures and equipment work, five years on waterproofing (two years for urethane), and manufacturer terms for ready-made products.
That is no problem. Our staff will survey and measure the site, then propose a plan.
Yes. Night work is common for shop interiors. We can borrow the keys and hand the shop back the next morning.
We can step in between you and the fire department and keep the process moving, and look for a reasonably economical approach.
