Times have changed. Today, garages are not just a place to park vehicles or store yard equipment, they’re an extension of the home.
Imagine being able to give those searching out new homes a garage floor that is both, decorative and stylish rather than unfinished concrete. Imagine, being able to provide new home buyers either epoxy or PVC tiles that; reduce floor damage caused by road salt and other chemicals, can be insulated providing more comfort and use of the space, and simplifies garage clean-up allowing for easy maintenance.
Home designers, architects, builders and contractors are realizing that today’s home buyers want a garage that is decorative with practical storage units rather than an unfinished garage with zero storage facilities. The trend is moving towards offering the purchaser the opportunity to organize and store their belongings the moment they move into a new home, avoiding all the clutter from day one.
A recent article printed in the King Weekly entitled "Women want a fashionable garage" speaks about how women desire garage doors to be aesthetically appealing. However, while it is important for the exterior of the garage to look good, today’s savvy owner wants the interior of the garage to be just as attractive and functional.
It makes perfect sense for builders and contractors to make garage upgrades available. After all, their clients can incorporate whatever upgrades they choose into a mortgage enabling them to obtain their dream home now rather than later.
As an upgrade or an add-on, a builder could offer a buyer decorative and stylish garage floors, customized cabinetry or secured storage that is mounted on the garage wall.
In response to the growing focus on the garage, there are a number of companies that specialize specifically in garage renovation. One such company is Garage Living, located in Vaughan, Garage Living offers a complete assortment of products and services to create functional and attractive garages.
"The garage is the biggest room of the house and, in most cases, the most neglected," says Parag Shah, President of Garage Living. "It is too often the dumping ground of the house inevitably ending up in disarray causing stress and confusion."
Garage Living’s ’state of the art’ showroom is the first of its kind in North America. It provides builders, contractors and designers a place where they can see and touch samples of what finished garages will look like. The showroom is open Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and is located at 201Chrislea Road, Vaughan.
