Home and Garage Organization questions, answered by experts

In some cases, a detached garage can be considered extra living space, but you will need to gain permission and comply with your local building code. Depending on where you live, you may need permits for a variety of installations, including electrical work, plumbing, and structural work. Many homeowners make the mistake of converting a garage into a living space without acquiring permits, which can result in hefty fines and even the removal of your hard work. Furthermore, a detached garage doesn’t add to the livable square footage of your home when it’s time to sell.

A professional garage organizer can offer experience and a keen eye for design. They may be able to map out something you couldn’t do on your own (or at least save you hours of research). For large garages or ambitious storage system ideas, hiring a pro is recommended.

Depending on the size of the space, a professional contractor will be able to renovate a garage in a few weeks. Many people who take on a DIY garage conversion end up spending anywhere from six to nine months working on the project.

The smallest size a standard 2-car garage can be is 20 feet by 20 feet, so at these dimensions, you could reasonably expect to fit two cars inside. However, it’s going to be a tight fit, especially if you have larger SUVs or pickup trucks. For smaller cars, 20 x 20 should be plenty for parking and some space to maneuver around the cars. A larger garage size would be better to ensure you have room to open the doors and transport groceries or other items around the cars.

A garage is an excellent opportunity to create a highly organized system for short and long-term storage ideas. When organizing your garage, consider mapping out your available space by square footage, investing in a garage storage system, color coding boxes, and keeping an "everyday" space for frequently used items.
