Top Five Ways Custom Garages Are Worth the Money

You may see photos of custom garages and wonder if it’s worth it to spend money on improving a relatively unseen area of your home. Much of the time, home improvement dollars are spent on places that you spend more time: the bathrooms, the kitchen, the bedrooms, a back deck, the front porch. What are the benefits of paying for a professionally designed and installed custom garage? Here are the top five ways a custom garage is worth the money.

1. A custom garage gives you more space to store your stuff, opening up room in your home.

   When you spend the money on a garage organization system, it actually can impact the rest of your living space as well. Think about how much more space you could gain in your house if you were to move some of your seldom-used belongings to the garage.

2. A custom garage gives you peace of mind when you get home at the end of a busy day.

   Think about it: Pulling the car into a messy, disorganized garage doesn’t feel good after you’ve worked for eight or ten long hours, or after you’ve spent the day corralling kids, playing chauffeur, going grocery shopping and doing everything else that you need to fit into your day. Opening the garage and seeing quality, well-made garage cabinets holding your items feels great. Of course, that’s assuming you can park in the garage. If you currently can’t...

3. A custom garage gives you a place to park your car.

   If you have a garage stacked high with boxes, bins, yard tools and other assorted clutter, you may not even have a place to put your vehicle! Cross that frustration off your list, as your custom garage will make room for your cars as well as your stored items.

4. A custom garage keeps your belongings safe.

   When you have items on the floor of the garage or stacked precariously, they can get damaged. A bump from a running child or from opening the car door can bring piled items crashing down. If inclement weather causes some water buildup on the floor of your garage or if the water heater springs a leak, those items on your floor can get damaged from the moisture. Having your belongings safely stowed in drawers, cabinets and overhead storage bins eliminates those concerns.

5. A custom garage adds value to your home.

   When would-be buyers first walk into a home for sale, one of the first things they check is the home’s storage space. Having a custom garage can cause those offers to come in a bit higher than they would otherwise, and they also can encourage buyers to make a bid; they won’t want to miss out on having a custom garage of their own!
