Give a garage an upgrade

In the Southwest, a garage is a popular home feature that becomes a must-have for residents that don’t want to shovel snow from their vehicle in the winter season. Garages protect vehicles from theft, vandalism and, of course, the weather.

Not only does a garage offer storage for your wheels, it can house seasonal decorations, outdoor equipment and so much more. Some people transform their garage into a multipurpose space, such as an art studio, home gym or workshop. However, these types of major changes to the functionality can squash the appeal for potential buyers.

When it comes to the garage and a property’s resale value, try upgrading a few amenities to attract buyers and increase the value of your property.

Install a modern garage door.

Replacing an old garage door with a more modern one is a way to increase your home’s resale value without a

major renovation. Homeowners that replace garage doors see 93% of their investment returned.

Build a new entrance. Avoid

opening the large bay door for typical foot traffic by creating an entrance for people. Whether connected to a utility room at the front of the home or a deck in the backyard, additional access points in the garage can make the space more useful.

Add finish to the flooring.

Most homeowners choose concrete for flooring in the garage. Though concrete is hard and resilient to damage, the porous can be more difficult to clean. Epoxy is a tough, long-lasting coating that makes flooring resistant to moisture and easier to clean.

Insulate and ventilate the

space. Insulation is important for providing limited climate control. Whether attached or detached, every garage needs proper ventilation to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.

Create space for items in

storage. A little bit of organization can go a long way in a garage. Invest in smart storage systems for items that live in the garage, such as outdoor equipment and lawn and garden supplies.
