For many people, their garage serves as a place to store belongings or place their car when it’s not in use. However, if you don’t need the space for that, you could transform it into anything you want. A few updates to the area and your garage door can help you create a home office or gym. To help you make the most of this square footage, here are some projects you should include in your garage remodeling.

What to Include in Your Garage Remodeling Project

1. Climate Control

From hot summer days to cold winter nights, a garage that hasn’t been regulated for temperature is going to be uncomfortable for regular usage. To control your indoor climate, have insulation placed on the walls and ceiling of the garage. You could also install an HVAC unit to keep you cool or warm as you work. This will make the space more functional in all weather conditions.

2. New Flooring

Most garages feature simple concrete floors. However, this won’t be as comfortable once the space serves a purpose other than holding vehicles. Talk to a remodeling contractor about flooring options available to finish this room to suit your needs. For example, if you’re creating a home gym, place mats or carpet tiles on the floor to keep you comfortable as you stretch.

3. Windowed Garage Doors

Once your garage is converted to a living area, you’ll want to bring in as much natural light as possible to illuminate it. Update your old garage door with one that has windows or cut-outs to let in some light. This will make the space appear larger, more inviting, and help you reduce energy costs.
