In this blog entry, the Chicago garage repair and Chicago garage installation experts here at Garage Door Repair Chicago will detail the best ways to add value to your home with garage updates and upgrades.
Insulation and Ventilation
A fantastic home upgrade is the addition of insulation and ventilation to your garage. With new air circulation and insulation you can make your garage far more energy efficient and comfortable, which can even increase its curb appeal. Garage technicians can easily add insulation to your garage door to help keep the cold out and the heat inside during the winter. Vents can be installed to allow specific fresh air into your home which keeps temperature consistent. Weather stripping can be installed around the door to seal gaps and stop drafts, and invisible vents in ceilings and walls can be installed to let hot air escape.
Organization Shelves
You can add shelves, drawers, and storage containers in your garage, making a very organized space that’s attractive and functional at the same time. Organized garages increase curb appeal and allow you to have more living space by giving you a space to store seasonal items and holiday decorations, or any other objects that you don’t use on a daily basis.
Garage Lighting
Lighting is essential for the interior and exterior of your garage, which increases safety, security, and curb appeal. Interior garage lighting is essential for safety as it lowers the risks of trips and falls and makes it easier to find things in your garage. Exterior lighting deters criminals and makes it easier for families to get to the front door.
Epoxy Flooring
Epoxy finished flooring is stain and damage resistant, easy to maintain, and easy to clean. Garage floors with epoxy finishes are a good selling point for a hoe. They also create a professional look for your garage.
Outlet Installation
Add more electrical outlets to your garage to increase home value. Many garages are used for storage and workshops, and increasing outlet numbers for the use of equipment like power tools is fantastic. Outlets are great for battery charging which can assist in backup in the event of power outages.
Side Door Installation
Side doors make it easier to come into and outside of your home when you’re holding lots of things in your hands. Side doors add a great deal of value to your home, making your life much more convenient. If you have young children, side doors will allow them to move straight from the car to the house with no need to open the sliding garage door. Again, this is a fantastic selling point.
