Happy Life was born from a simple but powerful idea: that the spaces we live in should support happier, more fulfilling lives. After all, our homes play a huge role in how we perceive and take on the world.
Our founder, Christopher DeFeo, didn’t start this company to just offer another service—he started it because he saw a missing piece in people’s homes and lives. On Long Island, there wasn’t a company that truly treated garages as the essential, everyday spaces they are. So Chris set out to change that.
Chris envisioned a company that doesn’t just improve garages—it improves the lives lived around them. To bring that vision to life, Chris brought together a team of experts who share his values and care about the end results just as much as he does. At Happy Life, we don’t believe in shortcuts. We don’t settle. Every project is a promise to deliver lasting quality, thoughtful design and genuine care. Because when your space works better, feels better, and looks better—it changes the way you live. And that’s what we’re here for: to help you love where you live, starting with your garage.
Our name is Happy Life because we know what matters most. It’s not about the door or the floor—it’s about the feeling that comes with it. The sense of pride and ownership that comes with having something that is beautiful, unique and entirely yours. Through our turnkey solutions, we are here to help you build your very own Happy Life—whatever that may look like!
Chris is the visionary behind Happy Life. As a Long Island native and entrepreneur, he saw an opportunity to elevate the standard for garage services in the region. In addition to founding Happy Life, Chris is also the co-founder of CL Visual, a creative media company known for its high-quality vehicle wraps and production work. With a deep appreciation for both aesthetics and function, Chris brings a unique eye and an entrepreneurial drive to every project Happy Life takes on.
Leigh is not only Chris’ business partner and co-founder at CL Visual—she’s also a vital force behind Happy Life’s growth and day-to-day success. Her deep bond of trust with Chris sets the tone for the company culture. Leigh’s strength, empathy and attention to detail shape the customer experience from beginning to end. She cares deeply about the final result and makes sure each project reflects the high standards Happy Life is known for. Her presence is an irreplaceable asset to the company.
James is the owner of All Weather Heating & Cooling—and one of Chris’ earliest supporters. The two became friends when Chris wrapped James’ company vehicles through CL Visual, and their shared values quickly built a lasting partnership. James brings a sharp eye for detail and a strong commitment to quality. His values of integrity, dedication and perfection align perfectly with the foundation Chris has built for Happy Life.
Aaron is a true pioneer in the world of polyaspartic floor installations. With over 25 years of hands-on experience, he was among the first to introduce this advanced flooring system to New York. His unmatched expertise and precision have made him a master in his craft. As the leader of Happy Life’s floor install team, Aaron ensures that every job meets the highest standards. His expertise and dedication are why Happy Life can proudly stand behind the quality of every floor we install.
At Happy Life, we believe a business should be more than just a service—it should be a force for good in the community. As a proud Long Island-based company, we’re deeply committed to giving back to the people and places that have given so much to us. One of the causes close to our hearts is GiGi’s Playhouse, a local nonprofit that empowers individuals with Down syndrome and their families. We were honored to donate a custom garage floor to their space—because to us, creating a happy life means showing up where it matters most. For us, this isn’t just about homes—it’s about heart, and using what we do best to make a lasting impact where it counts.
Whether you want to enhance your garage through the door, floor or both, we’re ready to make this a wonderful experience for you. We are here to learn all about your vision and outline everything that’s possible. Or, if you aren’t quite sure which direction to go in, we are happy to share our own recommendations based on our experience and clear understanding of your home, budget and end goals.
