Wall In Garage For More Square Footage |
|
|
Some friends of ours recently bought a new home. Since neither of them drive, they don't own a car. They had their garage boxed in. They had a contractor put up a wall over the garage door and finish off the rest of the room and ceiling so that it doesn't look like a typical garage. It keeps the desert heat out. Looks nice on the inside and on the outside, you can't tell it's not a drive in garage. If they were to want to sell the home, the garage door covering wall can be removed easily for future buyers. (on a lighter side: another pal of theirs said, "what would you give to be watching if a burglar ever tried to break into their garage, only to find a wall up, instead of easy entry?)

RE: Wall In Garage For More Square Footage
This is what I'd do if I needed the room. Why put the money into construction that is already done? I'd also leave the front so many feet for a storage shed to save some money and backyard space too. There is nothing uglier than individuals who convert the garage, remove the door, and it looks like a converted garage (and ruins the integrity of the house's style). I say let people think it's a garage, only to find it a beautiful room in disguise.

I have seen this in FL too. The couple left a 3 ft space at the garage door opening so they could store garden tools etc.
