For many homebuyers, a garage is a necessity. If you own a vehicle, a garage offers safety and convenience, as well as extra storage space. Even if you don't need a garage, you could decide to sell your home in the future and have a hard time if it doesn't have one. The attached garages have many benefits to homeowners, including being Convenient to use, especially in bad weather. Less expensive to build. Able to use electrical and heating systems that are part of the home.

Your garage keeps your car safe from a lot and is the obvious place to put it. ... With a garage your car is safe from hazardous weather, things like snowstorms, windstorms, and just bad rain won't be able to touch your car because of your garage which is something that just wouldn't be possible if you didn't have a garage.

BUT, not only that. You need to take note that the DETACHED GARAGE ALSO EXIST.

The detached garage allows you more freedom to build, expand and re-imagine. It allows more room for landscaping. Having your garage on the other side of the driveway means you have more usable space around the house. By not having an attached garage, you have room for all kinds of creative landscaping.

Also, a detached garage can make your home more attractive to a greater number of buyers. Appraisers will take this into account and factor your garage into your home's current market value. For the vast majority of homes, adding a detached garage will add more value to the home than what the garage costs to build.

NOTE: Cost of building a garage. In general, the bigger the project, the higher the cost. That's because “bigger" means more contractor labor, more time needed to build, and more material costs. Anything that will take more time will add to your garage cost. But one of the simplest and most cost-effective solutions for building a garage is to erect a pole-style building. These are sometimes referred to as post-frame construction or pole barns, and many consider them to be superior to traditional stick-built garages.

If you’re like most of us, your car is a five-figure investment that you can’t do without. Why leave it outdoors, where it can suffer damage from UV exposure, bird droppings, and tree sap?

Storing it in a garage will keep it a lot cleaner and could help prolong its life.

But other than that, it’s the one space in the house that we can shut the door to and just forget about, and so, oftentimes, we do. But the mess is always there, lurking in the background, haunting us. And as much as we want to pretend it doesn’t exist, a messy garage can be a huge source of stress.

How to Start Cleaning Out Your Garage

Organizing pros estimate that only 30 percent of us store our cars in the garage. The reason? Too much stuff. These garage storage ideas will help you get rid of anything you don’t need.

• Set aside at least a full day, or even a full weekend or two, to get the job done.
• Make decluttering a family project and invite over a few friends to pitch in, and it’ll go a lot faster. (items you use together, such as gardening tools and lawn chemicals, should be stored close to one another.)
• First, use a shop vacuum to rid your garage walls of dust and cobwebs. If you don't own a shop vacuum then you can also use a household broom. After you've effectively removed all of the dust, use a rag and a mixture of water and dish soap to wipe away any remaining dirt and gunk.
• Go through absolutely everything, including boxes you didn’t unpack when you moved in—you never know where that family heirloom might be lurking.
• A lockable cabinet for storing lawn chemicals and other stuff you don’t want your kids to get into.
• • Also, be extremely careful using a gas-powered pressure washer in a garage. They emit odorless and deadly carbon monoxide gas. Make sure you always place the pressure washer unit outside of the garage in a well-ventilated area where the fumes can vent away from you.
  • A set of casters turns any table into a mobile workstation; making sure they don’t create an uncomfortably tall table may help you out.

  NOTE: 

  1. Protect your car’s finish by attaching pieces of scrap carpeting to the walls in spots where the doors or bumper might hit them.
  2. If you have a minivan, back it into the garage with the sliding doors facing the center, then park your sedan next to it facing forward to allow easy access to both vehicles.
  3. Leave the center aisle between two vehicles as wide as possible so that you can roll trash bins to the curb or move bulky objects around without interference.
  4. Sort all items into three piles: keep, donate or sell, and toss. Lay them on dedicated tarps or mark off areas of your driveway with chalk and place them there. What should get the boot: outgrown toys, items that are broken beyond repair, expired household chemicals (which may need special disposal), and anything you haven’t used in two years or more. If you have a hard time letting go of things that have sentimental value, snap pictures as keepsakes.

  Sort the keepers into broad categories (for example, sports equipment, hand tools), and place them in well-marked cardboard boxes or, better yet, stackable clear-plastic bins you can use later. Put the keepers back in the garage for now.

   You may consider on rare occasions, your interior garage walls may be too dirty to clean by hand, have too much square footage, or access may be otherwise blocked and only reachable using a power washer extension. The main reason your garage is so dusty is your concrete floor. Your garage also attracts dust from bits of leaves and other debris breaking down as well as flakes of our dead skin and pet fur. No matter how many times you sweep the floor, it seems like the dust never goes away.

   So what are you waiting for? 

With a clean garage, you’ll find you may even start to enjoy doing things outdoors more often. You may revisit hobbies or feel more inspired to garden or work on projects. Deep cleaning your garage can be surprisingly inspiring and motivating! You may even be so excited that you want to make a video of parking your car in it for the first time in 20 years!

 In the end, while the task may seem daunting, the rewards are well worth the effort. Not only will you save money and keep your house cleaner, but you’ll also protect your investment in your car, bikes, and other items because they’re stored in a clean, dry environment, and finally be able to work on new projects that you never had the space for before.
