Tight Squeeze: Bigger Garages Trending

There’s an old saying “boys and their toys” that relates to men collecting everything from fishing gear to sporting equipment to video games. However, the newest “collection” appears to be impacting both men and women — and their garages.

With the growing size of trucks and SUVs, there’s a need for larger garages. And, since both men and women are gravitating to these bigger vehicles, there’s a chance you may be trying to squeeze two oversized transportation space hogs into your small garage!

Outgrowing Your Garage
While a typical garage features eight-foot tall doors, it may be time to remodel your garage to give you more needed space … in case you have roof racks or oversized tires that make it impossible to use your current garage.

Don’t worry. The best news here is that garage door replacements are the #1 home improvement investment you can make for your home, even over kitchen or bath renovations. If you need more space so your garage isn’t such a tight squeeze, consider renovating to create a larger garage. The dollars you invest in new garage doors and more space have a high return on investment — up to 98.3% according to the 2018 Cost Versus Value Study .

Take the Plunge
We recently saw a story in USA Today detailing how families are stressed about their garage space. The goal now is to expand garages to try and maximize room to accommodate larger vehicles.

Can you relate? If so, we can help. Haas Door has you covered with a variety of styles and sizes to turn your garage into the space of your dreams. In addition, Haas Door offers many options that allow for more light into the garage for workspace or a solid door if you want to hide storage space.

Check out haasdoor.com and you’ll see that a remodeling project (or a complete new construction for your garage) can easily include a variety of our stylish, extra-large doors that are available up to 18-feet wide in our residential series.

While our maximum height in residential garage doors is a spacious 8-feet tall, our commercial lines can handle heights well above that. This provides the opportunity to put a beautiful, residential door right next to a commercial size door for an identical, cohesive look. We have models, panels, colors, and window options across the Haas Door offering to handle your specific door needs.

So take the plunge … make the smart investment in a new garage and get the space you and your vehicles need to make home a bit more comfortable.
