Garage Remodeling Tips

Flooring

• Most home garages have a concrete foundation. When building a house, few homeowners give much consideration to the flooring in their garage. The floor is left as a concrete slab. However, as time passes, the concrete becomes stained, unevenly colored, and unsightly. If you feel the need to remodel your garage to improve its looks, then simply working with the floor may do more for your space than you think.

  Epoxy, garage floor paint, and garage floor covering can all do wonders in turning a mess into a neat but durable floor. Before tearing up your entire garage, contact contractors about possible garage floor options.

Storage

• Garages gather things over time. Many homeowners are dissatisfied with their garages due to the clutter. When remodeling your garage, consider adding space for more shelves, storage bins and cabinets. Garages look much more appealing when everything has a place where it belongs.

  Use open high levels and unused areas of your garage to create more efficient space. Shelves and storage areas can come in all styles and sizes. You can easily add space to your garage without the cost of adding square footage.

Extra Space

• When thinking about your garage, think about more than a home for your vehicle. Remodeling your garage may include adding additional square footage or adding walls to the building. While a garage is a great space to store cars, lawn mowers and tools, it can also be a wonderful area for added entertainment or even added living space. Using dividers, create a section of your garage for entertaining or working. Add a pool table, exercise equipment, or a work bench. These areas can even be great as laundry rooms, sewing rooms, bathrooms or craft shops.
