Are prefabricated garages worth it?

• <div><p>A prefab, or prefabricated garage, requires far less construction work than one with a foundation and frame, but it’s not nearly as desirable and may not be a worthwhile option. A prefabricated garage won’t be as durable or long-lasting, and it doesn’t provide the same protection for your belongings and vehicles. Plus, you can use a standard garage for more uses—like living space—whereas a prefab garage only serves as a space for storage. Lastly, building a traditional garage will add to your home value, while a prefab garage usually won’t.</p></div>

Does a garage count toward square footage?

• <div><p>A garage only counts toward the official square footage of a house if it’s livable. The exact legal requirements for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/is-garage-considered-living-space.htm">what’s considered living space</a> can vary by location, but heating and ventilation are often required for it to be counted. If the garage is converted into an extra room, it may count toward the total square footage. </p></div>

Q: Can you put regular cabinets in the garage?

• <div><p>Most cabinetry made for a garage will have special coatings and finishes built to withstand extreme heat and cold, moisture, pest damage, rusting, and dry rot. However, many homeowners have put their old kitchen cabinets in the garage, added a couple of fresh coats of paint, and use them for a while without too much wear and tear. </p></div>

Q: Do garage heaters need their own breaker?

• <div><p>If you have a garage heater that is 1,500 watts or more, it will need its own breaker. As a good rule of thumb, no appliance should exceed 1,500 watts per outlet for best outcomes. Consult a local garage heating service to determine the power needs for your outdoor or indoor space.</p></div>

Q: Is a garage door screen worth the investment?

• <div><p>If you plan to only use it occasionally, a DIY fabric screen offers a low-cost option that is simple to put up and take down as needed. It also provides a way to test out how you could continue using the extra space in the future. But if you plan to frequently spend time in the space, investing in a customized, professionally installed garage door screen offers the potential for this unlikely space to become a brand new hub for your household.</p></div>

Overall experience is VERY UNSATISFACORY. The owner/operator "lady" was very unprofessional. When we initially contacted them for our garage door repair, she was very prompt. We paid advance for parts and very told 2 weeks. 4 weeks and 3 phone calls later, there was no promptness or...
