When you have a lot of empty space on your property, you may think about all the ways that you can fill in the space. While you may have a decent-sized driveway where you can park your vehicles, you may be interested in adding a detached garage in the empty space. Since this is a large project, you will feel better about hiring professionals when you know all the benefits.

Store Your Belongings

Protecting your belongings is something that you may want to do whether you live in a rental or a home that you own. But, as a homeowner, you have a lot more flexibility in deciding how you protect everything. Without a garage, you must put all your belongings in the house, in the attic, or in a storage unit. Getting a large garage will allow you to take everything out of storage.

This is beneficial because it will keep your possessions close by and reduce your monthly costs.

Protect Vehicles

If you decide to build a two-car garage, you will have enough space to fit in two vehicles. This will help you protect these vehicles by avoiding harm from the sun, falling branches, and vandalism. These cars will have improved value when trying to trade them in or sell them in the future.

Living in a climate that gets winter snow means having a garage to park your vehicles in will keep you from having to remove snow from your car when you want to leave the house.

Beautify the Space

While you can beautify the property in many ways, you can achieve this by paying attention to the design of the detached garage. An easy way to make the garage look great is to have the exterior mesh well with your home's exterior and to choose a beautiful garage door. Adding windows is another way that you can improve the appearance of the detached garage.

Increase Home Value

If you intend on living in the home for a long time, you will get to enjoy all the benefits that a garage will provide for many years. But, if you decide to sell your home, you can also benefit from an increase in home value with around an 81% return on your investment for the garage.

When you are thinking about adding a detached garage to your property, knowing the reasons why the project is a great idea will give you enough confidence to follow through. Reach out to a contractor at a place like J. Forrest Development when you're ready to start your build.
