In a wake-up call for many homeowners, household surveys show that the garage remains the most underutilized space of any home. Because of a disorganized garage, homeowners may buy items they already purchased but cannot find among unused junk, or they can struggle to locate tools and other items when they need them. Both scenarios and others caused by garage disorganization waste money and time, and lead to unnecessary frustration. Fortunately, with the explosive growth in the garage renovation and organization industry, the increasing availability of cutting-edge products, and custom solutions that can be easily installed, there is no excuse not to get the financial and personal satisfaction that comes from being the owner of an organized garage. First and foremost, from the economic perspective, renovating the garage and making it more usable increases the value of a home and boosts its sale potential in today's competitive real estate market. In most areas, minor garage renovations do not require permits, which makes them one of the easier ways to improve a home dramatically and for the better. Garage remodeling mainly involves tasks like flooring, painting and organizational systems, all things that are inexpensive and less time consuming compared to an intense kitchen or bathroom makeover. In addition to increasing the sale price of a home, a nicely organized and clean garage can help owners sell their home more quickly in a challenging economy where home sales remain slow. Potential buyers respond positively to the sight of an organized garage and what the appearance says about the home seller's overall care for the property. On a personal note, many people choose to organize the garage to experience the freedom that comes from a less cluttered life. All too often, the garage serves as the extra space where families allow junk to accumulate when they don't know where else to store old and unwanted items. This kind of garage misuse results in piles of unusable stuff that blocks this high-traffic area, creates safety hazards and makes the garage look unattractive. The decision to organize the garage requires that the accumulated objects be removed in the first place, and that action by itself helps to create an uncluttered feeling. The unused items that are removed can be sold online or donated, which offers two ways for owners to feel at peace with their decision to empty the garage contents. The beauty of garage organization is that anyone can renovate this valuable and underused space regardless of budget and time. Most garage renovations involve simpler steps than required for changes to other areas of the home like kitchens and bathrooms. For people without the interest or experience to oversee their own renovation, a growing field of professional garage installers can complete the job in as little as one day. No matter if homeowners hire a firm or choose the do-it-yourself route, for a relatively small investment in a garage renovation, the payoff in terms of home value and personal satisfaction is huge.
