What
would your dream garage look like? Some people want to have it fitted for the
car, others dream for a really nice workshop, a laundry room, a gym or a
rehearsal studio for their own musical band. Some other people only want it to
expand their living space and improve their lifestyle.
How
much money do you have to work with? Even if you want only to remodel, rebuild
or only reorganize a small area of your garage you must have a budget. It is imperative
to have in mind a specific target and a realistic and finite budget for it.
The
first step is to carefully evaluate your needs regarding the space and your
needs. Even if it is a small garage, you can find plenty of space to use for
your work area.
Making
the decision regarding whether to do the project yourself or to hire a
contractor depends on several factors, including
your skills and the magnitude of the project. Having only basic skills you can
produce a great reorganization project.
You can buy the needed furniture yourself
according to your needs and your available space. Cabinets, shelves, pegs and
hooks are a must have in order to turn your garage into usable space over a
weekend. If you have a greater project in mind, maybe you should consult a
plumber or an electrician.
If
you are planning to convert your garage into a living area you’d better be a
professional or you’ll be risking decreasing the safety and value of your own
home.
If
you opt for a contractor, and this is the choice that we recommend regardless
of the project’s magnitude or your skills, get one whose work you’ve seen and
if you have the chance, get some recommendations. It is better to see with your
own eyes the skills and some relevant work of the contractor so you can decide
whether you could be satisfied with his work or not.
Costs
and construction times vary with the scope and the magnitude of the project. If
there are no structural issues, finishing and enclosing a garage and turning it
into useable room would take less than two weeks. The costs depend on the
materials that you decide to use, but keep in mind that expensive does not
necessary mean quality and that cheap does not grant you reliability every
time.
Your garage can be a place to spend many happy hours for a long time to come if you plan it right according to your needs and dreams.
