What do you use your garage for? Tinkering with cars, tooling around in your workspace, storing off-season sports equipment? Whatever the purpose, eventually your garage is going to need freshening up.
While remodeling a garage can seem like a huge task, it doesn’t have to be. With some garage renovation tips in your back pocket, you can move forward with confidence.
This post will arm you with garage remodel ideas to spark your creativity. The garage of your dreams is possible. Put down your toolbelt and read on!
1. Organize Your Stuff
The deep, dark recesses of your garage probably hold items you haven’t seen in years. The garage tends to be a catch-all for random items. Now is the time to pull everything out and sort through your stuff.
Follow these tips to tackle your garage decluttering extravaganza:
- Set up boxes for throw away, give away, sell, and recycle
- Sort through old boxes and toolboxes to get rid of things you don’t use anymore
- Toss old paint and chemicals that are no longer useful
- If something’s broken and you haven’t fixed it yet, you probably won’t
It can feel hard to get rid of things you’ve held onto for so long. But, the feeling you’ll get when you see your remodeled garage will wipe away any decluttering woes.
2. Think About Storage
Now that you’ve sorted through your stuff and know just how much you’ll be keeping, you’re going to need a way to organize it all. What type of garage storage arrangement will work best for you?
Clear stackable bins make it easier to locate things later. As much as you can, try to keep things off of the garage floor. You’ll make more room for your car and make it easier to clean your garage later.
Often overhead space is ignored when thinking about garage storage. Long flat things like ladders, sports gear, and extra lumber can be easily tucked up and away for later use.
3. Consider a Floor Upgrade
There’s no easier way to add sophistication and a polished look to your garage than a garage floor coating. Epoxy is a go-to for DIYers. While it’s cheaper upfront than hiring a professional, it’s not as durable and needs to be redone more often.
While epoxy used to be the gold standard for garage floors, the new top dog is polyurea coatings. Applied by professionals, polyurea coatings:
- Won’t fade in the sunlight
- Resist water damage
- Cure faster than epoxy
- Resist stains, scrapes, and corrosion better than epoxy
