A converted garage is a perfect way to add extra square footage your home that will also provide space that is functional. If you want that extra space without spending too much, you need to focus on a few things instead of going overboard. The first is to determine what functions you need.
For functionality your converted garage should provide some storage space and some work surface as well. If you are like most people you always need more storage and the garage is the ideal place. Use up the walls by building shelves against them to store tools and equipment. You can make use of the height of the garage for items that are rarely used. Place a small table or build a counter to the back of the garage that gives you space from which to work. The space under the table can also be used as storage by building shelves or stacking storage bins or boxes.
If you want, it may even be possible to convert a part of the garage addition into a mini-home gym. The gym could also be designed to serve as a games room depending on the size garage. That is extra footage that you can use for a family related activity. Since you will be using your garage for more than just parking cars, you should ensure that there is at least one window to allow in natural light. Good electrical lighting is also a requirement.
While you could do the conversion yourself, you’ll want to ensure a professional job and hire a company who knows a thing or two about garage conversions. contractor. Together, we can plan, design and build the garage addition that serves all the purposes you want
