Garage Design and Organization

• Before you start putting up things or taking things apart, it’s important to spend some time on garage design and organization. Apart from sheltering your car, the garage offers a versatile space which can be very functional.
• If you have a large space, you can possibly look into adding a functional area like a small workshop with everyday tools. For people who like working out at home, this is the perfect place to add one or two pieces of gym equipment.
• For smaller spaces, you can look into adding additional storage with shelves and hooks, that help keep the area mess-free. A professional garage design planner can help you come up with a plan depending on your needs and the average costs can be found in the chart above.

Garage Doors and Hardware

• A garage door and hardware contractor can not only help you choose the perfect garage door but also help with any garage door parts that you may require.
• From overhead doors to glass garage doors – a contractor can walk you through the pros and cons of every type of garage door and thus help you choose one that meets all your needs.
• A garage door with an entry door is ideal if you are also using the space for storage or other utilities – as you can easily access the space without opening up the full garage.
• Garage door and hardware contractors can also help you install a universal garage door opener like a remote and also program it for your needs. The average costs for garage door and hardware projects can be found in the table above.
