Custom Homes: Considerations for a Garage Addition

Homeowners, are you thinking of adding a garage to your home? Designing and building custom homes involves making many decisions. One of the most prevalent modifications to residential blueprints includes adding a garage. However, every home differs in structure. Some homes may have a carport instead, which is marked differently from a conventional garage. So, what considerations do you need to know for a garage addition?

Examine Where to Place the Garage Addition

The first step is figuring out where the garage addition should go. During this process phase, you must decide how oversized the garage should be. You should also consider the local zoning and coding guidelines for custom homes, especially with how significant your custom home may be. If possible, attempt to face the garage to the side and add some windows. A more expansive driveway is a valuable type of garage addition. Remember, you will need some turnaround space if your home is located on a busy street.

Determine If It Is Attached or Not

Will your garage addition be attached to your home or freestanding? Perhaps you have a garage, but do you need a detached garage that complements your home? Accessible Home Builders can build this for you, too! Call us today at 302-663-0464.  Make sure your garage gives you room to store your lawn mower or other yard work tools.

What to Do with The Garage Addition

Lastly, let’s explore some ideas for what to do once your garage addition is completed. Storage for golf carts or cars makes sense; you may also attempt to convert the garage into a laundry room or workshop. If you use it as a home office or hobby space, you will need plenty of ventilation, lighting, and accessible electrical outlets. Don’t forget the value of insulation, too.

Overall, your home can always benefit from additional storage space, and a garage addition is ideal for that! So, taking advantage of the space available in your garage is critical to maximize its storage potential. Accessible Home Builders can help you with that!
