Should You Have Your Standard Garage Customized?

Posted on by Mike Bolynn

Some people who live in homes that don’t have their own standard garage, but have enough space for one, can have a custom garage built for it. If you are one such individual, and you have a vehicle you want to protect from the elements, you will probably want to do this. The question that you may ask yourself before you have a garage made for your home is, should you customize it or buy one that is pre-made?

Customizing a garage these days is no longer a difficult matter. You can find manufacturers who can deliver a customized, pre-fabricated garage to your doorstep in a matter of days or weeks. And the good part about this is, you can do this without the need to step out of your home to do the customizing and ordering. Yes, you can design and order your custom garage online. You can even see an image of your customized garage after you design it.

Things to Consider When Designing Your Custom Garage

When you design a custom garage for your home, there are a number of things to keep in mind. You do this as you choose the color, shape, size, and overall look of your structure. Here are some of the things you need to consider:

Design of Your Home 

You need to remember that your garage will become a part of your home, whether it is attached or detached. If you have a garage that looks way too different from your home, it will look like an eyesore. Something that popped up on your property out of nowhere. In choosing to customize your garage, you have control over how it will look. The design of your new garage should complement your home’s design, or at the very least, be neutral enough to not look off.

Size of Your Property 

One should consider the amount of space that you have for a custom garage. If you have more than ample space, then you can go crazy with the size and design of your garage. If you have rather limited space, you need to consider this when putting together a design online. Make sure you measure the space that you have for your garage before you go and order your custom garage online.

Size and Number of Vehicles 

You will also need to think about how many vehicles will be occupying the space inside your garage as well as how big these are. While most garages do come with a high enough ceiling to accommodate most standard vehicles, if you have a modified ride, you will need a garage with a higher ceiling and roof.

Your Budget

This is one consideration you also need to make when designing a custom garage. Not all garages come with the same features and in the same sizes, so the bigger these are, the more features these have, and the more custom additions you add, the higher the cost. If you have a limited budget, you should probably consider a more conservative and understated look. If you have a rather large budget for this project, then by all means, go with whatever look, size, color, and design that you like.

Where to Order Your Custom Standard Garage

When you go online, you will find a lot of companies that offer customized garages and carports for you to choose from. Some of these companies offer to design what you want for you, but with the help of their in-house designers who will then email you the design. This can take days or weeks to get done. There are some sites however, like Carports US, who have an online app that allows you to create your own custom garage. This online garage design app will let you see your garage before you even click the order button.

Carport US also has a catalog of standard garage designs for you to choose from, if you are not inclined to customizing your garage. All you need to do is to choose the roof type, which include standard, boxed-eave, and vertical options. You can also opt for a barn-style structure, a carport, or combination designs for your garage needs.

How to Elevate Your Standard Garages Into Super Garages

Posted on by Mike Bolynn

If you want an economical roof over your cars to protect them from the elements, you can simply get yourself a standard garage. The question is, why would you settle for a garage that looks like a box when you can choose from a huge number of garage designs for your car and your home?

While having a functional garage is fine, it does nothing to beautify your home or to add value to it. What you need is a garage design that elevates it from being just one of the many standard garages that you see around you to one that is picture worthy. Great looking garages also help increase the overall value of your home, giving you the chance to increase your property’s price should you decide to sell.

How can you improve your standard garage in order to make it look like a garage that you can find in magazines? Here are some things you can do:

  • Redo your garage floor with floor coating or tile

    If your garage has a standard concrete floor, you can turn it into a super garage by installing new flooring. A smooth surface makes it easier for you to clean your garage and it gives your space a sleek and modern look. You can do this with floor coating or even tiles that are cheaper and easier to install.

  • Install modern cabinetry

    You can make your garage look like one of those garages that you can find in car magazines by installing modern cabinetry. Choose the kind of cabinetry that looks professional and in colors that complement your newly installed floors. Aside from making your garage look amazing, it also gives you storage space for your tools and other stuff. It helps keep clutter to a minimum, which helps make your garage look better too.

  • Install a great garage door

    This is the part of your garage that everybody sees from the outside. Installing a great looking door will help set the tone for your garage’s interior. After all, how weird would it be to have a spectacular looking garage on the inside but a crummy looking one from the outside? Choose from the many stylish and highly functional garage doors that are suited to your garage to give it that boost you want.

  • Bright lights make space look better

    Install lots of lights for your garage to help make it look better. Aesthetics is not the only reason for having brighter lights in your garage should be considered. To make your standard garage highly functional and great for when you need to make repairs or modifications to your vehicle with these brighter and better lights.

Brightly colored paint – who says a garage should be dull and boring? Painting the walls and ceiling of your garage a bright color will give it the additional oomph you need to take it over the top. Choose colors that pop and combinations that look great with your floor and your vehicle. Red with black is a great color combination and so is orange with grey. Blue and silver, black and grey, and even polished silver shades all around will look great for your garage’s interior.
