Hello World! Welcome Friends! While you may not immediately think of your garage as a room in your home to upgrade, the truth is a garage is a very important, functional and frequently used part of your home. Here are a few ideas for keeping your garage looking great and functioning optimally for your storage of vehicles, tools, toys, and outdoor recreational equipment.
Functional and Attractive Flooring
Garage floors are typically concrete, unattractive and plain. They also experience a lot of daily wear and tear. One of the best things you can do for your garage floor preventively at any time is installing garage floor epoxy. An epoxy will leave your garage floor with a thick moisture-barrier that is attractive, easy to clean, and will resist fading from sunlight. You can customize the color of your flooring and the style of it with options like metallic, platinum or crushed granite finishes.
Organized Storage
Garages inevitably become cluttered quickly with all of the tools and equipment you need to store in it. Before you start deciding how much storage you need for your garage, make sure you do a thorough organization of all of its contents. Consider installing ceiling shelving to allow you maximum garage floor space for living or other larger equipment. There are also many attractive and functional shelving and storage systems available so your garage looks uncluttered and you can easily find things. If you own bicycles, look at vertical storage options that maximize wall space and keep your bicycles safe from the vehicles moving in and out of your garage.
Smart and Efficient Garage Door
Another way to improve your garage’s look on the outside and its feel on the inside is to install a new garage door. One of the most popular and durable options is a steel door which resists warping, denting, and damage from moisture. Another helpful benefit of a steel door is its foam core, which helps insulate your garage from hot or cold temperatures outside. When you look for a new garage door, also consider installing a smart garage door. By installing a smart door, you can monitor your home from anywhere in the world and always know that your home is locked up and secure even in those hurried moments when you rush out of the house. You can even monitor who is going into your garage and at what time with a smart garage door system. Your home will instantly be more secure with a smart garage door system.

Toodles,
If the outside of the garage looks dilapidated, it can discourage prospective buyers, just like a crumbly or cracked driveway might. Buyers form an impression of the house before they walk in the door and sometimes the garage is the first thing they see.
