Consider these tips to bring your garage to the next level…
In Colorado, a modern and stylish garage offers an array of benefits that enhance the comfort, safety, and livability of your home throughout every season of the year - and every season of life. Not only does it provide an extended usable space, but it also adds value in the resale market. The safety and functionality of garages remain highly sought-after features, while other upgrades can help you to enjoy the space and transform your home.
Here are four key steps to consider when undertaking a garage project or remodel:
Step 1 - Upgrade Flooring and Insulation
Consider upgrading the flooring and insulation in your garage to improve its overall appearance and energy efficiency. Our Polyaspartic flooring systems provide a durable and attractive finish that is easy to clean and resistant to stains and damage (see all the benefits of a CGS Polyaspartic Flooring System). Aside from the flooring, one of the more common requests we get is to install drywall for a more finished look to many garages. Insulating the walls and garage door can help regulate temperature and reduce energy costs, not to mention give your garage a completed and updated look. Upgrading the flooring and insulation creates a more comfortable and versatile space - no matter how you use your garage. For more creative ideas on how to best utilize your garage, read our blog “6 Creative Ways to Use Your Colorado Garage.”

Step 2 - Optimize Storage Solutions
Start by decluttering your garage and organizing items into categories and designated storage areas. This is often the toughest, most time-consuming step. For tips, checkout our article “6 Tips to Organize Your Garage Right Now.” Consider installing custom cabinet units, wall-mounted Slatwall (see all the benefits of Slatwall), and overhead storage systems to maximize space. Utilize clear storage bins and labels to easily locate items. Efficient storage solutions not only create a neat and organized space but also provide easy access to your belongings while keeping you and your belongings safe.

Step 3 - Upgrade Lighting and Ventilation
Enhance the functionality and ambiance of your garage by upgrading the lighting and ventilation systems. Install energy-efficient LED lights to brighten up the space, ensuring ample visibility for various tasks. Consider adding motion sensor lights for convenience and energy conservation. Additionally, improve ventilation by installing a ventilation fan or windows to promote air circulation. Proper lighting and ventilation contribute to a more comfortable and enjoyable workspace.

Step 4 - Integrate Smart Technology
Bring your garage into the modern age by incorporating smart technology. Install a smart garage door opener that allows you to open and close the door remotely using your smartphone. You can also integrate smart lighting systems that can be controlled through voice commands or mobile apps as well as smart sprinkler systems which run out of your garage and can detect rainfall, moisture and other conditions to conserve water. Additionally, consider adding smart security features such as cameras and motion sensors for enhanced safety and monitoring. These upgrades not only add convenience to your life but also increases the security and efficiency of your garage and entire home.

By modernizing your garage, you create an inviting space that seamlessly blends with the overall aesthetics of your home. The sleek design adds a touch of sophistication and elevates the visual appeal of your property. Investing in your Colorado garage not only enhances your family's comfort and safety but also extends your usable living space. Its value in the resale market further underscores its importance as a worthwhile home improvement project. Enjoy the benefits of an upgraded garage while reaping the rewards when it comes time to sell your home!
