Did you know that about 63% of all housing units in the US have a garage or carport?
If you own a garage, it may have seen better days. The good news is that remodeling a garage can be quick, inexpensive, and effective.
Still not convinced?
Read on as we take a look at some key reasons why you should consider a garage remodel.
1. Protect Your Car
The reason that garages are built is primarily to protect your vehicles. That doesn’t mean that that’s what they always end up getting used for!
If you do keep your car in your garage, however, then it’s important to keep it well protected. If your garage is getting on a bit, it may no longer be keeping your car as well protected as it should be. The temperature in your garage may not be ideal, and it may even be leaking in wet weather.
Remodeling your garage means you can be sure you’re giving your beloved vehicles the protection they deserve.
2. Additional Cars
As your family grows, so does the number of cars you need. Your garage may no longer be set up ideally for use by multiple cars.
A remodel can help you rework the space in your garage so that you keep more vehicles protected. Obviously, some garages aren’t big enough to fit more than one car, but if yours is, you may need to make some adjustments to the interior in order to make it practical for two cars.
3. Home Office
For obvious reasons, more people have been working from home than ever before. A garage can make the perfect place for a home office away from distractions.
If you have space, it’s perfectly possible to use your garage for both your car and your home office. You can devote one section of your garage to your office and another to your car. You can even divide the garage to make your home office a separate space.
Remodeling can in effect give you an additional room in your home so that you’re able to separate your work and life even though you’re still working from home.
4. Workshop
If you like to work on your car, then a remodel is a perfect opportunity to turn your garage into your own private workshop.
You have a number of options, from installing the same high-quality coated floors as you would find in commercial workshops, to installing workbenches and tool storage so that you have everything you need at hand. By remodeling, you can set up everything exactly as you want it to make your workflow simpler and more effective.
Once you’ve remodeled you’ll be able to work on your car in comfort no matter the weather.
5. Storage
We could all use more storage. That’s part of the reason why the self-storage industry generates almost $40 billion per year.
If you have a garage, the good news is that you don’t need to spend a fortune on self-storage fees. Instead, you can remodel your garage to give yourself plenty of additional storage space for whatever you need.
Clever storage solutions can allow you to make the most of the space you have available so that you can have plenty of additional storage and still have room for your car.
6. Add Value
If you’re looking for a good return on investment, then remodeling your garage is a great option.
With so many homebuyers looking for somewhere with a great garage, you can add value to your home by offering exactly that. Even if you’re not planning to sell your home any time in the near future, it’s always good to know that the work you do to your garage will increase the value of your home whenever you do come to sell.
In the meantime, you get to enjoy all the benefits of your remodeled garage all to yourself.
7. Halt Deterioration
Time waits for no man, and no garage. No matter how well constructed, eventually, wear and tear will take its toll on your garage.
Not only will your garage begin to look tired, but it may also start to lose its integrity. That means it can start to leak, or allow heat to escape meaning that your garage simply isn’t as good as it should be anymore.
By remodeling, you can fix any issues, and get your garage back to the tip-top condition that you want it to be. As we’ve mentioned earlier, by fixing your run-down garage, you’ll also be increasing the value of your home.
8. More Space
Even if you have a small garage, it’s always possible to find more space.
The chances are that you’re not making the best use of the space available. You may be able to create more space by using clever storage solutions and also utilizing all the space available. This includes the space at the top of your garage, which allows you to create even more space and make your garage more practical.
Once you’ve made the changes, you’ll wonder how you ever managed with the old set up.
