In addition a garage addition provides a high return on investment.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Garage Plans and Design Size<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">When developing your garage design plans first and foremost make sure to make it large enough. Garages inevitably wind up storing much more than simply the families automobiles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">They also end up storing lawn and garden equipment and tools, bicycles and work benches. In addition, you\u2019ll need sufficient room to walk around comfortably in it and be able to open automobile doors without dinging them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">For the best garage design, I suggest a footprint of at least 24\u2019x24\u2019. Any smaller dimensions and the garage is simply too tight and shallow.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Garage Utility Doors<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Another important garage design idea is to include a standard utility door to enter and exit the garage. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Including a utility door is particularly helpful in winter to keep from having to open the garage doors when needing to simply step outside. By not having to open garage doors during the winter months for merely walking out of the garage, any warmth that is in the garage can be maintained.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Garage Insulation and Drywall<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Also make sure your garage plans and design include insulating and drywalling the garage.\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<td width=\"3%\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"47%\"><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/garage-addition-bid-sheet\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1586 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Garage-Addition-Bid-Sheet-249x300.jpg\" alt=\"Garage Addition Bid Sheet\" width=\"249\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Garage-Addition-Bid-Sheet-249x300.jpg 249w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Garage-Addition-Bid-Sheet-768x927.jpg 768w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Garage-Addition-Bid-Sheet-848x1024.jpg 848w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Garage-Addition-Bid-Sheet.jpg 956w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 249px) 100vw, 249px\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">If it is an attached garage addition you are required by code to apply fire proof drywall on the side of the garage that is adjacent to the main portion of the home anyways.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In addition, if there is to be finished living space above the garage you\u2019ll need to install fire proof drywall on the garage ceiling as well. The cost of installing insulation and drywall is relatively inexpensive compared to the entire cost of the project, and the improved comfort and energy savings that can be realized are well worth the money.\u00a0In addition, a finished garage helps increase the return on investment when you eventually sell the home.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Garage Heat<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In addition, if you have plans of working in the garage on a regular basis you may want to consider adding heat to the garage, particularly if you live in a colder climate. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Again, this is another reason for wanting to insulate and sheetrock the garage interior.

From personal experience, trying to work on a car on a winter evening with limited overhead lighting is a real pain. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Likewise, during the summer it\u2019s nice to keep the garage cooler without having to keep the garage doors open and letting in all of the critters.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"50%\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<div style=\"background: url('http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/images\/Home_Addition_form_Ad_Small_rev1.jpg') no-repeat top; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; height: 190px; width: 275px;\">\n<form action=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/UHI-info\/Additions.htm#form\" method=\"get\"><input style=\"float: left; width: 80px; margin: 110px -255px 50px 165px;\" name=\"PC\" size=\"20\" type=\"text\" \/><br \/>\n<input style=\"float: right; background: url('http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/images\/homeadditionplus-btn-next.gif'); height: 34px; width: 91px; border: 0px solid #000000; ; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 25px; margin-top: 130px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" type=\"submit\" value=\"\" \/><\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Other Garage Plan and Design Ideas<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Other smaller garage design considerations to include in your garage plans include the installation of garage storage and shelving systems, garage floor mats, and of course garage door openers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">All of these items will help to make your garage addition more functional, clean and organized.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">So when designing your garage plans make sure to give careful consideration to all of these items.
