Why Metal Garages Are The Perfect Solution For Homeowners?

Your car parked in an open driveway or on the streets suffers from constant weather changes, accidental scratches, and low insurance coverage. Metal garages are the perfect solution for you for numerous reasons. They offer unmatched durability and longevity and provide a secure space for vehicles. Residential metal garages also allow customization and various design features. 

Top Reasons Why Metal Garages Are The Ultimate Home Improvement Solution For Homeowners

Boost Property’s Value

Did you know a typical garage space can give you about 81% return on investment? Any new homeowner will appreciate a space with extra storage and a dedicated parking facility. To take it up a notch, you can plan for custom metal garages that will add aesthetics and functionality to your property.

Long Lasting With Low Maintenance 

One of the perks of investing in a metal building for a residential unit is that it requires little upkeep. Metal is unaffected by pests and fire and does not rot or decay with time. You don’t need to invest in monthly termite inspection or control, which saves a lot of money and time.

Not only that, a metal garage retains its structural integrity with time. You don’t need repainting or re-coating every year. It saves you from a lot of headaches. You can perform routine inspections for cracks, dirt built up, dents, and minor rusting. If you notice any, fix them promptly.

Easy To Clean

To clean a steel garage, you can use a regular garden hose or pressure washer at the lowest setting. I prefer warm water with mild soap to remove dirt and grime. A soft bristle brush can help you scrape off any stubborn stains or bird droppings.

Quick Setup

Prefab metal buildings are designed and produced in the factory on a large scale. Since most work is done off-site, assembly takes less time and labor. The entire construction is hassle-free, and your building is ready for use within a few days.

Affordable Compared To Traditional Garage Options

Metal garages cost less than traditional wooden garages. For instance, a prefab metal garage will cost between $15 and $25 per sq. ft. Wooden garages also cost more during the construction phase and in repair and maintenance over time.

Option For Size, Color, And Style

Steel garages come in various sizes and styles. You can pick a custom option to match it with your home for a cohesive look. Residential metal garages are of two types: attached and detached.

The attached garage has one side leaning to the wall of your main building, while the detached one can be installed anywhere on your lot. For the roof, you can pick regular, horizontal [boxed eave], or vertical corrugated metal panels.

Out of the three, vertical roof panels are more durable and can easily resist harsh weather conditions. Their ridges run parallel to the ground, aiding the flow of dirt, debris, and water quickly off the surface, making them long-lasting.

The typical size of a residential steel garage is as follows:

• 1 car garage: 12’ x 20’ | 18’ x 20’
• 2 car garage: 24’ x 21’ | 30’ x 25’
• 3 car garage: 36’ x 24’ | 48’ x 30’

You can choose extra space for storage, a workshop, or to create space for a home office. The height of these garages ranges between 9’ to 14’ tall. When choosing the size, ensure your car can easily maneuver in & out without bumping sideways or over the roof’s eave.

We offer 12+ color options so that your home garage can look like an integral part of your house. You can match the color with existing property or choose timeless classics such as black, white, or neutrals. We suggest matching the door and windows’ style with your home for a seamless appeal.

You can choose colors for roof panels, side walls, gable ends, structural trim, and wainscot. Apart from color, you can pick insulation such as single/ double bubble or woven R17 for a comfortable indoor inside your metal garage.

No matter what Mother Nature throws your way, a metal garage will stand firm, protecting your vehicles and belongings.

Security

Steel doors are sturdy and can deter unauthorized access. To increase security and ease of access, you can install new-age IoT devices such as motion sensor lights and cameras or automatic doors.
