In our last post, our Raleigh garage door repair company talked about homes without garages, as well as, what it might take to add on a garage. We also included a few benefits for adding a garage onto your home. Additional value, useable space, and more are all great reasons to build a garage addition. Today, we are going to focus on a few aspects that many people don’t always consider when they think about building a garage.

Raleigh Garage Door Repair: Attached vs. Detached

Most garages are attached. This means your garage and home share a wall and roof. Adding an attached garage is most common, as it cuts down cost a bit by utilizing an existing structure’s wall and support.  An attached garage can also cut costs if there is an existing driveway in place.
Attached garages might sound like the perfect solution to your need for an addition. However, detached garages tend to offer more options; extra room, bigger work spaces. Below, you will find a few reasons to consider a detached garage for your new addition.
Raleigh Garage Door Repair: A detached garage offers more space!
The size of your garage will depend on how much space you need to store cars, tools, bikes, and other items that are usually found in the garage. Will you be using the space as a workshop? If so, the more square footage, the better! An attached garage often limits space, as there isn’t always enough room available to build a 2 or 3 car garage. Choosing to build a detached garage in your back yard or other area of your property opens the door for unlimited size and space.
In our next post, our Raleigh garage door repair experts will go over a few more benefits of adding a detached garage addition to your home. As always, additional space added to your home will add value to your home, but additional space can also offer more than that. Stay tuned to find out why!
