When you think about home renovations, the garage may be the last thing on your list. But renovating this often-forgotten space can make a big difference. Read on to discover our top tips.
New Garage Door
When you’re thinking about renovating your garage, start with the garage door. In most homes, this door plays a significant part in how your overall exterior looks. And that’s true if your garage is on the front, side, or back of your home. And the great news is that your return on investment is 94% according to the Cost vs. Value Project.
Although there are an unlimited number of standard garage doors available, if you don’t see one that fits your needs, we can design and build a custom door to match the other parts of your home. These can include your preferred material, windows, and finishes.
Garage Storage Cabinets
Dreaming of a new garage? Most of these visions start with garage storage cabinets. And cabinets aren’t just for tools. Your cabinets can be designed for your needs whether you’re a car-buff, woodworker, or general DIYer. The professionals at Remodeling Consultants can come out and measure your garage and design custom cabinets for your space, including workbenches.
Imagine having your garage organized and knowing where everything is, yet not seeing it. From eyesore to awesome, the right cabinets can transform your garage into someplace you’d like to be.
Best Garage Floor Coatings
Just like your driveway, garage floors don’t have to be boring cement. Instead, two of the most popular surface choices of discerning homeowners are
- Epoxy – seals the concrete and can be applied in different thicknesses. Epoxy makes the floor impact resistant, and the coating is very hard and thick. That means you’re not going to have to get it reapplied very often.
- Polyurethane – is similar to epoxy because it’s considered high-performance. But compared to epoxy the coating is much thinner yet is better at resisting chemicals.
More Garage Ideas
Besides storage units, we can also install wall units which makes hanging tools and equipment easier. Another great way to use space is overhead specialty storage racks. These racks work well for seasonal holiday decorations and sporting equipment.
And a garage isn’t just for tools and vehicles. If you have a large enough space, consider adding an exercise area. Not enough square footage? No problem. We can also expand your garage to give you the room you need. Lastly think about the temperature – an easy way to have the cooling or heating you need is with a mini-split heating and cooling system.
Better Insulation
And another advantage you’ll experience is more energy efficiency with a new garage door. We can also add additional insulation. That will keep the space at a better temperature in all seasons. Plus, it will help the interior temperature when people go in and out of the garage.
