Does upgrading a garage increase home value?

• <div><p>Yes, upgrading a garage can increase home value.

Q: Is it worth putting a mini-split in a garage?

• <div><p>Installing new <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/improve-home-value-new-air-conditioner.htm">HVAC can increase a home&rsquo;s value</a> by 5% to 7%. While installing a mini-split unit in the garage may not offer that much of a boost to the home value, it is a lower-cost option than installing a more traditional cooling system in the garage. Plus, if a cooler garage allows you to spend more time in the space doing tasks you enjoy, it makes the investment worthwhile.</p></div>

Q: What adds more value, a garage or extra room?

• <div><p>It depends on a lot of factors, but generally speaking, added living space is more desirable to most buyers, which means an extra room will be more valuable than a traditional garage. The utility of the new space will determine how much ROI you&rsquo;ll see. An additional bedroom will generally be more valuable than a living room or family room, and converting your garage to a bedroom with a bathroom will likely add the most value.</p></div>

Q: Can you put an addition on top of a garage?

• <div><p>Putting an addition on top of a garage is similar to installing a second story on a single-story home. You'll likely need the assistance of a structural engineer, however, to determine if the garage's existing foundation, walls, and ceiling can handle the extra loads. Typically, your garage will require adding strength to one or more of those things to support the addition.</p></div>

Q: What are the dangers of using budget garage flooring products?

• <div><p>As with anything you buy, be wary of prices that seem too good to be true. Some low-cost flooring products can contain chemicals that release harmful VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in the form of fumes that can be inhaled or dust that can cause skin conditions.</p><p>Even good-quality products can be dangerous for DIY-ers who don&rsquo;t take proper precautions. Always carefully read manufacturer instructions and wear the recommended protective gear when working with paints and other chemicals. You can also hire a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/garage-floor-coatings/">local garage flooring pro</a> with the experience and equipment needed to perform the installation safely with no lingering fumes or debris.</p></div>
