Today’s garages are making room for electric cars
More and more consumers are choosing hybrid or electric cars over their gasoline counterparts. As a result, more homes now have home charging stations in their garage. For maximum energy efficiency, many homes are therefore adding solar panels to help keep those cars powered up.
Technology has made its way into the garage
In the middle of last year, a comprehensive survey found that about four out of every ten American homeowners had at least one device in their home that was connected to the internet, such as home appliances, lighting fixtures, thermostats, security systems, or cameras. The garage is making its way into this trend too.
One example is the wifi connected electronic garage door openers. They work with apps that allow for some truly unique capabilities. For example, you can open the garage door remotely, which is helpful if you have a guest arriving when you are not there. If you want the latest innovative features used on your new garage door or custom gate, just let us know and we can offer some suggestions.
Garages are becoming more important parts of the home
One trend that has been going on across the country for the last five years is a decrease in the square footage of new homes. We are seeing some homes built three stories high but with smaller facades. In most cases, the reduction in size is due to a need to save money and make homes as energy efficient as possible.
As a result, garages are starting to do double and triple duty. They may be places where important personal belongings are stored. They may be a place to store a second refrigerator. They may act as the laundry room. In some cases, the garage could even be a play area for the kids.
Cars are more and more often being moved outside
It seems silly to progress to a point where cars are no longer being stored in the garage but it is increasingly true. In Southern California, the need to protect cars from the elements is not as present as it is in other parts of the country, so it makes sense that homeowners may want to take over the garage as used space.
