Pull inspiration from these creative garage makeovers | Katonah Real Estate

ost of us could use a little extra space — for an office, for entertaining or just for relaxing — but few of us have the budget or room to add on to our existing homes. But there may be a blank slate nearby, just waiting to be reinvented: the garage. Garage Door Repairs within the Plano area are often frustrating. They always seem to happen at the worst possible time. Like when you’re late for work, trying to urge the youngsters to high school, or close to head out for vacation. Broken or damaged garage doors are often noisy, ugly, and just downright embarrassing. The professionals at Metro Garage Door Repair are your local experts in Garage Door Installations and Repairs. If you want best garage door repair service, you can go to this website.
These six Houzzer garage conversions have gone above and beyond the average remodel. No longer in need of a parking spot, or tired of looking at the mess that had piled up, these homeowners took advantage of their empty or dilapidated garages. The resulting dream rooms gave these families the extra space they were looking for.

Houzzer: Suzanne Dingley, Suzanne Dingley Interiors Location: Salt Lake City Garage size: 180 square feet, detached DIY or professional project? Both
A new work-from-home job meant that Suzanne Dingley’s husband needed a new office. Instead of cramming one into their house, the couple turned to their detached garage, which had become a dark and dirty dumping ground for junk. They gutted the space, exposed the rafters and pitched roof, and installed new flooring and built-in storage.

The pair replaced the existing garage doors with two sets of French doors and two new windows to let in natural light. The newly insulated ceiling and floors control the internal temperature, but a window cooler and space heater help out, too. “My husband is very happy with his space, especially with his short commute across the yard,” says Dingley.

Houzzer: Rick Giudicessi Location: Des Moines, Iowa Garage size: 240 square feet, attached DIY or professional project? Professional
This 1930s garage wasn’t just worn out and beat up; its odd layout and tiny garage door made it impossible for Rick Giudicessi to park his car inside. Instead of using it for storage, he turned it into a tiki bar with an attached patio where his family can entertain year-round. “When the weather ends the use of the patio and tiki bar area, we move inside to the heated area,”
he says.
