If you're like most homeowners then you've probably got remodeling on the brain this spring - with all the possibilities for home improvement cycling around in your head. Some folks look to their neighbors for home improvement ideas while others dig around online for ways to spice up their living space. If you're ready to start a new home improvement project then add "attached garage" to your list. Already got one? Then think about ways you can beef it up so that it works harder for you.
An attached "garage" doesn't have to just house your car. You can add a dormer or functional work space, a place for hobbies and crafts, a game area or exercise room and more. If you've got limited space in your home for improvement and these are all appealing then you've got all the more reason to opt for an attached garage - depending on the size of your finished space you could have a number of these spaces incorporated into the home improvement addition.
If you don't have a garage already and you want to make sure your vehicle stays in pristine condition then obviously the first thought with an attached garage is that you can protect your vehicle. A garage offers the most protection and security -especially for more expensive cars and it gives you a warm dry place to sit with your vehicle and enjoy the weather (because the porch is the next thing on the list)
It's not uncommon for homeowners to run into storage issues. You'd think with a large house you would have plenty of storage space but it seems like the more space you have (even with sheds in the backyard) you still run out of storage space. Consider a garage with enough storage to meet your needs. Additional storage shelves, closets, rafter storage or extra rooms added on to a garage to handle all your extra stuff you can't part with - remember home improvement is all about making your life more comfortable.
Of course if you want to do more than just store your car, and you like to like to perform some of your own maintenance on your car, then the expense of adding an attached garage for your next home improvement project will pay for itself over the next few years, as you not only get to store your cherished vehicle, but you can also do the basics to keep that car running at a peak level, and of course save on the costs of that maintenance because you have the space to do the work on your own. It's a win/win!
If you own a business that you struggle to run out of the home due to confined space issues then adding some office space along with your attached garage is a smart home improvement investment. Once you have a separate office space you can start claiming a number of deductions on your taxes for working out of the home. Not only do you get all the benefits of storage and space for your car but you can attach an office and start making your home improvement pay you back over the years.
