Reasons to Expand Your Garage

If you live in a Buffalo-area subdivision where there is a governing board and rules determining how the neighborhood looks, you’re probably not able to build a bigger garage onto your home. But if you own your own property and no one else dictates what you do to it, consider having Ivy Lea Construction expand your present-day garage. There are many good reasons to make that happen…

First of all, Buffalo gets a lot of snow and ice and wind in the winter. Therefore, rather than leave vehicles or stuff outside in the bitter cold weather from December through March, a nice, big garage is a superb storage spot for not only cars, but also snowblowers, sleds, skis, small boats, garbage cans, cat litter boxes, patio furniture, etc. My goodness, there are a lot of items you can store in a big garage, aren’t there?

Next up, consider when the Buffalo weather is warmer and nicer. A big garage can be used to throw a party– it’ll hold lots of people, and you can set up tables and food and drinks in it. It can also be used as a play place/toy room for kids to run around in just by adding padded flooring. Want it to function as a workshop, complete with all sorts of tools and a workbench? Perfect. Many men escape from their wives and kids to their place of refuge in the home: their garage.

Finally, a bigger garage is a way to keep up with the neighbors who also have bigger garages as well as a way to increase the overall value of your home. After all, Americans love things to be bigger.
