WHY YOU SHOULDN’T RENOVATE YOUR HOME GARAGE

If you need some extra square footage for your hobbies or your business, you might first look to renovate your existing space. But new shelving and a coat of paint can only take you so far. When you invest in a custom heavy timber building, you can design a floor plan around your individual needs and make the most of your unique workspace. You can also choose the high-end features you wish to see in your space, including windows, doors, and more, so you feel motivated to work or hang out in your garage whenever you have free time. With DC Builders as your design partner, you can trust your high-quality building will be a worthwhile investment that grows in value and beauty overtime.

WHAT TO CONSIDER BEFORE BUILDING A NEW GARAGE

Before adding a garage to your property, there are a few things you’ll want to consider. Firstly, be sure to check the zoning laws in your area for square footage and setback limits that could affect the design of your structure. Does your area have unusually strict wind or snow load requirements? Wildfire or wetland restrictions? If so, it’s important to know these restrictions in advance so you can plan accordingly. You’ll also want to determine the function of your workshop, as the type of work you plan to do in it will guide the design of the space. Prioritizing your needs for vehicles, equipment, and storage will help you craft an organized workspace tailored to your passions.
