Driving through modern housing estates, you'll often notice that many double garages now serve dual purposes: one side for a vehicle, and the other as a storage space for kids' bikes, bins, kayaks, or even a home office or studio. With smaller housing blocks becoming more common over the past decade, much of our storage—and sometimes even living space—has inevitably spilled over into the garage. When organized properly, a garage can be a highly functional and versatile space, but without careful planning, it can quickly become chaotic.

Garage and Carport Renovations

On larger properties, there's often room for a shed in the backyard to store bikes, lawnmowers, and sports equipment. However, in modern estates, where storage space is limited, the garage often becomes the main area for all these items. For families with two cars, this usually means one car is left exposed to the elements. Renovating a garage or carport often goes hand-in-hand with updating the home's façade, especially since the garage is usually located at the front of the house. Sometimes, a simple upgrade like a new roller door is all that's needed, but in other cases, a more extensive renovation might involve expanding the garage to add extra storage solutions. A well-organized garage makes everything easier to access and ensures the space is both safe and stress-free.

Building a New Garage or Carport

Older homes often lack a garage or carport, which is where we come in. In some cases, an old garage or carport is converted into a living area, prompting the need for a new structure. In other instances, the original design simply didn't include any covered parking, and the new homeowners need a secure, sheltered spot for their vehicles and some extra storage. Whether building from scratch or replacing an old structure, a new garage or carport is always designed to complement the home's existing style and seamlessly blend into the overall aesthetic. If necessary, additional roofing may be added to connect the parking area to the house, either matching the original roofline or serving as a distinct architectural feature.
