Considering a Garage Renovation? Here's Everything You Need to Know!

 

Renovated Garage

As families grow both in size and number, so too do all the activities and needs associated with them — from hobbies to sports to simply wanting a place to chill out and relax. As time passes, a once-spacious home can feel as if it has shrunk like a wool sweater accidentally thrown in the dryer.

So, how do you give yourself and your family some space — without undertaking an expensive home addition? The answer may come as a surprise, but a garage renovation could be the perfect solution.

Add Usable Square Footage With a Garage Remodel

Garage renovations add functional, beautiful space to your home. You can skip the expensive, lengthy process of adding a home addition and focus on the space you already have with a professional garage makeover.

Completing a total garage renovation allows you to reimagine the dark, dingy floors, unfinished walls, harsh lighting and overwhelming amounts of clutter. Better yet, partnering with your local Hello Garage means your average garage can be transformed into a workstation, studio, showroom or something entirely new in just a matter of days!

What makes a successful garage renovation?

A successful garage makeover means investing in high-quality, long-lasting products. Hello Garage offers some of the best garage renovation products on the market! Read on to learn more about the products that can help you get the most out of your space.

Polyaspartic Garage Floor Coatings

HG Polyaspartic Garage Floor Coating

A polyaspartic floor coating from Hello Garage creates a beautiful and strong base for your garage renovation.

This is a ground-up renovation, so why not start with the garage floor? There are plenty of options to choose from when it comes to garage floor coatings. While epoxy is a popular option, it doesn’t have the staying power most people want. Luckily, there’s an even better option! A polyaspartic floor coating is the ultimate epoxy alternative. Unlike polyurethane and epoxy coatings, polyaspartic flooring resists UV fading, peeling and cracking and can last for decades.

While it might be tempting to DIY your polyaspartic garage floor, we don't recommend it. A successful polyaspartic floor coating requires meticulous surface preparation, highly specialized industrial equipment and professional installation by an experienced crew.

But the results are totally worth it!

You get a floor with granite-like looks and durability and it only takes about a day to complete the process. Plus, once your beautiful new floor is installed, it may inspire you to tackle the rest of the space.

Configurable Garage Cabinets & Storage

Once you've refreshed your concrete with a polyaspartic floor coating, it's time to tackle the clutter.

One way to get all those tools and other loose items out of sight is to install garage cabinets. Everything will have a dedicated place — and you’ll never have to search for that pair of pliers or baseball mitt again!

Like floor coatings, there’s no shortage of garage cabinets available. We recommend choosing garage cabinets made of heavy-gauge, powder-coated steel. Other desirable garage cabinet features to look for include recessed handles and interior lighting.

Overhead Garage Storage, Wall Storage & Accessories

Free up valuable floor space with Hello Garage’s innovative, good-looking slatwall system!

Garage cabinets are just the beginning.

A track system or slatwall system for your garage walls with hooks and baskets can organize everything from garden tools and sporting equipment to bikes and kayaks. You will be amazed at the space you will recover just by getting stuff off the floor!

Speaking of freeing up floor space…

A heavy-duty, adjustable overhead garage storage system is perfect for keeping bulky items off the floor and out of the way. Whether it’s camping gear, holiday decor or whatever you can fit into totes, utilizing the ceiling is a great way to maximize the usable space down below.

Last but not least, top off your garage renovation with some overhead LED lighting to brighten up the space and make it easy to find whatever you’re looking for.

Enjoy Your New Garage

Once you've wrapped up your garage transformation, there's still one more decision to make: deciding how to use your newly remodeled garage!

Will it be a place to set up a workbench and start a woodworking hobby? A scrapbooking area or a gift-wrapping station? Maybe it can become a yoga studio on nice days when the cars can stay outside? Perhaps it's finally time to let the kids start a garage band!

No matter how you decide to use your new garage space, we’re confident it will be a space you’re proud to show off to your friends, family and neighbors!
