TROUBLES
Garage Labo is the maintenance division of Design Directors Co., Ltd., a shop design and construction company. As a professional interiors team, we handle repairs, light remodeling, fixtures, and both interior and exterior work.
A shop is like a car you rely on every day — consumable parts need replacing, and dirt or wear needs attention. If repairs and maintenance are put off, dirt becomes harder to remove and wear turns into breakdowns. If you need shop maintenance Tokyo or store repair Tokyo, start with a close match in the categories below.
We handle shop lighting replacement, shop door repair, restaurant leak repair, restoration, wallpaper, floors, signs, air-conditioning, and layout changes. Find issues early — what is simple now can grow over time. Survey and proposals are free before you agree to a quote (we may not be able to take distant locations). Charges begin after you agree. We inspect the site, then quote.
Night work is also available. We can borrow the keys and hand the shop back the next morning. We often split the work so the shop can stay open. Warranty: one year on interior fixtures and equipment work, five years on waterproofing (two years for urethane), and manufacturer terms for ready-made products. We also handle installation, wiring, and upholstery of items you supply.
Improving effect and conditions (lighting, HVAC, ventilation, sound, facade, circulation, seating, comfort, ceiling height); partial works and repairs (wallpaper, chairs, doors, paint, glass, soundproofing, shelves, cleaning); equipment and faults (drains, leaks, hot water, electrical work, air conditioners, bulbs, outlets, detectors); dismantling and restoration — we handle every service group from the current Garage Labo site.
