This year is a good year to improve the look and feel of your garage space. This is especially important for those of you who are selling your home. When you are considering resale, a cluttered garage can be an eye sore for potential buyers. A garage re-design, will not only free up the garage floor space, but it will increase the value of your home. Who doesn’t want that?
An open garage space to store vehicles allows for more space to park off the street. Your Realtor will be happy that you have included garage renovation and improvement. This could increase the overall value of the home by as much as six percent.
No room in the garage to park vehicles:
A common complaint of many homeowners is that they have no space to park their vehicles due to garage floor clutter. For potential buyers, the garage space is just as important as other areas of the home. We suggest that potential sellers give the garage a makeover before putting the home on the market.
Cleaning the garage is the first step, but you can increase the value of your home by having your garage customized and brought up to date with a full re-design.
Meeting with a cabinet designer:
A custom cabinetmaker will first suggest that you might consider wall panels to tackle a part of this problem. Accessories normally used in yard maintenance and/or home building projects can be neatly hung on these wall panels. This improvement will give the garage a finished look and make it easier to find important tools as they are needed, and make room for vehicles.
Wall cabinets for additional storage:
Modular and custom-made cabinet systems are a great choice to add additional space to store garage items. There are a wide range of functional choices in all wood finishes and various colors to suit your budget and your unique taste. Aesthetically, wall cabinets hide items not needed and give the garage a beautiful custom look. Other items available are overhead storage racks, industrial shelving and other solutions for gaining needed space.
Don’t forget new garage flooring:
Choosing a flooring type for the garage means you will need to choose a floor that is durable and will wear well over time. This is because your garage floor takes a lot of abuse from oil dripping, chemical spills and other stains. The new floor will need to withstand cracking and crumbling. It should also be resistant to the many fluids present in the garage space, such as gas and oil from vehicles.
Our professionals will suggest a floor which will work for you as we meet with you for a design consultation. We have many flooring coatings which we will discuss as a possibility.
Some of the flooring available for garage applications are:
- Epoxy paint
- Concrete stain
- Snap together tiles
- Rollout floor mats
Our professionals will help you make the right choice for a durable and beautiful garage flooring choice. We will work with your budget to offer affordable options. Having an organized garage will give you the right storage system to store your items out of sight and safe. There are many options to beautify the garage space in your home. Personalized cabinets, drawers, shelves, custom built racks and much more.
