Category: Garage-Doors - Topic: A Finished Garage Adds Value

Too often garages are treated as though they weren’t actually part of the house. The trash is kept in the garage, it is used for storage and any additional space in the garage is left to sit for nothing more than space. Garages, however, with todays fast drying insulation, ceiling storage and "very cool" garage floor coatings have the potential to be much more than a car port and storage area. “Finishing your garage” will also add value to your home. Because the housing market is so competitive standing above your competition can easily be done by presenting a good looking garage that has both form and function. Don’t underestimate how much prospective buyers will value a slick looking remodeled garage. Garage remodeling, however, can be costly. Adding insulation, flooring, and ceiling storage units , though in a garage, can cost your pocketbook. Before beginning any garage remodel talk to a local realtor and let her/him know about your ideas, ask an insulation professional about your insulation options and finally, talk to designers that are familiar with working in basements (as they have moisture too). Remodeled garages, if done correctly, can add significant value and class to your home.
