Hello World! Welcome Friends! What is your idea of a residential car garage? Do you want something more than a cluttered shelter for your vehicles? Or just a large building full of vintage cars? A home garage should always mean a well-organized space with ample room to park your vehicles safely. While different people’s definitions might vary, one thing is for sure—residential car garages are should always be geared, adding more value to your home. Everyone wants their residential car garage to be a space that impresses even the visitors and one that can be easily accomplished by proper design.
What if you want to completely customize your home garage to rhyme with your personality? Whether you are putting up a new garage or remodeling your residential garage to your personal touch, here are the top five features that every residential garage should have.
1. Choosing Long-lasting Floor and Floor-Coating Materials
When putting up a garage, you are planning to have a space that you will use for an extended period of time. You don’t want a floor that might develop some potholes in no time. Remember, potholes can make your working area not only dirty but also dirty and disorderly. So, whether you are building a new home garage or you are renovating it, consider garage floor coating. This can handsomely transform your space.
Durable floor coating can quickly turn your dirty vintage garage into a smooth and beautiful surface that sets the foundation for the rest of your garage. For instance, you can choose to floor-coat your garage with poly-aspartic floor coating. Another good option is the interlocking PVC floor tiles. Due to their tight interlocking teeth designs, these attractive and long-lasting tiles can be installed with ease.
You can also choose to ramp up your concrete flooring with an epoxy coating. This is a small undertaking, but it goes a long way in turning your boring old garage into a work of art that you will always admire.
2. Install Slat-Wall Storage to Reclaim the Floor Space
Remember, if you are not careful with your garage, it might look cluttered and dirty. Everything should be kept in its place. There are many things and tools that you use in your residential garage. So, several tools and machines might be lying on the floor. Installing versatile slat-wall storage can go a long way in reclaiming your floor space. Slat-wall panels, as well as their accessories, will help you to effectively utilize your wall spaces to free up some working space on your floor.
Getting items like your yard tools, bikes, and extension cords on your garage wall and off the floor allows you more room for parking your cars and function effectively in your garage.
3. Upgrade Your Residential Garage Door
As you know, the door is the most noticeable feature in every room. So, upgrading your door into a presentable one can be a good step in improving the appearance of your garage in the eyes of your guests. Also, it would be counterproductive when you invest both time and money upgrading your garage’s interior and leaving the exterior looking less optimal. To complete your residential garage’s dazzling transformation, complete it with a fantastic upgrade to your garage door.
Doors are the features that your visitors see first. Thus, how it looks really matters. Create an inviting working space that also enhances your backyard’s appeal. There’s a wide array of garage door designs out there. You should always ensure that you go for a combination that both reflect your personality and also complement your home’s resident’s exterior.
4. Power Your Garage with Electricity and Install More Lighters
Remember, in any garage; there’s a lot of wielding. You will have some metals to pin together or even need some lighting when working during the night hours. If you aren’t installed electricity in your home garage, then you might be wasting lots of potentials. To expand the opportunity for future electrical demands, add your electrical outlets in convenient spaces.
Also, electricity lighting during the night times offers some security to your garage. You’ve invested a lot of money in putting up the garage. So, make sure that you protect it. In addition to this, remember to add your residential garage to your security system. Install electrical security sensors on your garage doors and windows. You can also add a keypad lock to your garage door with a personalized security code.
5. A Living Room
Turn up your garage with a nice-looking living. As we said earlier, your home garage is a place where you can take your visitors for a walk. So turning the space up with a TV and sound system also goes a long way in improving its appeal. In a nutshell, any dream garage that’s worth its salt requires a living room. This space doesn’t have to be huge. Only that can accommodate a big TV screen is enough. This can be a place to kick back either before or after a tiring repair session. Include some excellent lighting, cozy chairs, and a good view of the cars. You can take it a step further by making your DIY jobs a breeze by streaming instructional videos right in your garage.
