Are you tired of lugging laundry across the house or searching for storage space? A practical solution is adding an extra room or structure to your home. Among the various types of room additions, add-on garages with integrated laundry and storage rooms stand out as a top choice and can significantly boost your home's resale value.

Combining a garage with a laundry and storage room enhances the functionality of your home. You can keep your main living areas tidy by confining laundry activities to a dedicated space. Additionally, having extra storage helps in organizing your belongings more efficiently.

Planning Your Room Addition

Start by first assessing your needs, knowing your priorities will help in designing a space that meets all your needs efficiently.

Next, drill-down with your design and layout. Consult with a professional architect to generate blueprints that maximize space and functionality. Consider the placement of the laundry room within the garage to ensure easy access and ventilation. The storage room should be strategically placed to provide ample space without cluttering the garage area.

Hand your blueprints to an insured and licensed general contractor, like Georgia In Home Services, who will plan your project timeline. Together, you can establish a realistic budget that covers construction, permits, materials, and finishes. Explore financing options if needed, such as home equity loans or personal loans.

In Atlanta, home additions require permits and adherence to local building codes. Employ a general contractor who understands the specific requirements the city or county needs for your home improvement project.

Construction Phase: 

Once permits are in place, construction can begin. The process typically involves site preparation, foundation work, framing, roofing, ventilation points and installation of electrical and plumbing systems for the laundry and storage rooms.

After the main construction, the artisans focus on insulation, drywall, flooring, and painting. Ensure the storage room has sufficient shelving and organization systems.

An add-on garage with laundry and storage rooms is a wise investment that enhances your property's value and functionality. Georgia In Home Services has 20 years of experience in building room additions. Give us a call when you are ready for a free, no-obligations estimate.
