Whether your garage is attached to your home, separated by a breezeway, or completely detached, it is probably the most overlooked usable space on your property. Most homeowners view it as a place to park cars and store lawnmowers and other outdoor equipment and toys, and it often becomes cluttered and disorganized.
At Precision Siding, we view your garage as a place with multiple possibilities, from clean, organized storage to additional living space for your family. Even a minor remodel can make a big difference for you and add significant value to your home.
Consider the following:
- Seal and paint your garage floor or add rubber floor tiles or an epoxy coating to level and finish imperfections for a clean, finished look that immediately improves the appearance of your garage.
- Upgrade lighting in the ceiling and throughout your garage using large LEDs and immediately make your garage appear bigger.
- Install cabinets, wall organizers and a workbench to create organized storage for tools and a workspace for hobbies.
- Finish walls adjacent to the door to your home and create a mudroom complete with shoe cubbies and coat hooks.
While minor renovations provide an economical way to upgrade the aesthetics as well as how you use the space in your garage, building up or adding on can be worthwhile even for the higher cost. In fact, building a loft in your garage is the best way to maximize underused space and among the biggest returns on investment when it comes to renovations.
Akron Area Garage lofts from Precision
Look into the rafters of your garage and you just might find an abundance of unused space. Access this area with a loft and increase your storage space or create more living space. At Precision, we encourage you to envision the many ways you can enjoy a new garage loft:
- Design a home office.
- Create the perfect man cave or she-shed.
- Build a hobby room for woodworking, crafts, painting, and more.
- Add a recreation and game room for the ideal teenage hangout.
- Design your new home gym,
A loft can be your budget home addition because it maintains the garage space you need for cars and lawn equipment while adding a whole new room, no foundation or roof needed. Add insulation, run additional electric and some plumbing and you have the living space you need at a much lower cost than building an addition on your home.
Does a low roofline limit the “up space” in your garage? Ask our experts about adding a second story to your existing garage for that home office, extra bedroom, or apartment. We ensure your foundation can handle the weight of a second story before designing that custom renovation you are dreaming of.
