The Garage Remodel

Cars, Storage Space and Workshops oh my!

For many of us the garage is simply an appendage to our home. A place to park our vehicles, store holiday decorations, or even the ever growing “I’ll organize that later” pile. Though the main purpose may change from person to person and family to family there is often an itch to organize or even repurpose the entire garage. Let’s take a look at some of the more common garage remodeling ideas.

The “Typical” or not so Typical Car Garage

When we use the word “typical” we are referring to the the general main purpose of what a garage is built for in the first place; an enclosed space to park your vehicles while at home. Though this may be the typical desire of most homeowners, your car garage can be transformed into anything but typical while still allowing for enough space to house your vehicles. This can include strategic storage cabinets and shelving for more efficient use of the total volume as well as the ground space. With storage up and out of the way you may be looking to have more of a high-end “showroom” type of feel to your garage. An ultra shine epoxy coating to the cement, larger windows to allow for more natural light as well as accent lighting and wall coverings or paint to truly bring about the luxury of the room to compliment your vehicles.

The Workshop

The workshop style garage remodel can often be approached in two ways. The 1st is still the most common with allowing space for a vehicle or two while making the most of the inner perimeter for “work benches”, cabinets, shelving and work space. The 2nd is typically reserved for the person that is truly looking to use the space primarily as a workshop. This may include a plethora of outlets for different tools and machinery, as well permanently affixed work tables and workbenches. Perhaps larger windows and bright lighting along with special ventilation or an air filtration system to remove any harmful or not so pleasant orders.

The Gym

We have discussed home gyms previously in our article on den transformations. Perhaps your den does not allow for the type of space that you would like for a home gym, but your garage would offer the perfect size for a collection of exercise equipment and machines. Once again in the renovation we look to increase the efficiency of the volume by overhanging storage as well as sleek cabinets. Special flooring to allow for extra padding, full length large mirrors for motivation and large mounted televisions for times needing extended distraction or entertainment. This garage to gym conversion may include other features and items to bring as much of the health club amenities to you just a few steps away in your own home.

The Infamous Man Cave

Many of you may already have a image in your heads when you hear the word “man cave”. What is interesting is that a “man cave”, or a “woman cave” garage remodel can be anything you want it to be. There may be the typical large flat screen TV with a seemingly endless sports package, along with beverage refrigerators and big comfy couches or recliners. But lets take a look at a few other things that this grotto may contain. How about a billiard hall theme, with a full size pool table, mounted racks with special lighting and furnishings to fit the atmosphere? Or perhaps a bar style garage conversion. A wraparound counter top, complete with mounted bar stools and back bar liquor shelves along with special refrigerators built into the bar. Once again the “cave” style remodel can be whatever you want it to be to. Time to turn that dream garage remodel into a reality.
