If you're looking to sell your house, you definitely want to get top dollar for it. One of the best ways to ensure your home sells for top dollar is by completing renovation projects that increase its resale value. However, not all renovations are created equal. Some projects might not be worth it since you may invest more money than you can recoup once you sell your home. Also, there are projects that will give you the best return on investment. For instance, remodeling your kitchen and bathroom will boost your home's resale value regardless of its location.

You should only undertake smart projects with a high ROI if you want to make the most out of your house sale. And the good news is that certain garage upgrades can also increase your home's value. However, to avoid costly mistakes when upgrading your garage and ensure your project runs smoothly according to your specific requirements and budget, you should consider hiring a professional garage contractor and builder. If you want to increase your home's value, here are a few garage upgrades that you should consider:

1. Install a New Garage Door

Your garage door's color, style, and condition can significantly impact your home's overall appearance and curb appeal. Thus, replacing your old garage door with a new one can improve your home's curb appeal and resale value. As the face of your home's exterior, installing a new garage door can help create a good first impression on potential homebuyers.

Besides enhancing your home's curb appeal, a new garage door can help you recoup more than 88 percent of the cost. It also reassures potential buyers they won't incur additional costs replacing the garage door upon moving.

2. Add Storage Solutions

Another garage upgrade that can increase your home's value when you decide to sell is adding storage solutions. Adding storage to your garage is also one of the most cost-effective and easy ways to boost your garage and home's curb appeal. Some great ways to maximize your garage's storage and make your home more appealing to potential homebuyers include installing additional storage cabinets for storing gadgets and tools neatly.

You can also consider adding garage racks to your walls for additional vertical storage. Adding racks also make a great way to maximize your garage's space and spruce it up. If your garage has limited space, you may also consider installing hooks and hanging them on the walls and ceiling to take advantage of every inch of space.

3. Upgrade the Finishes

Investing in high-quality finishes and high-end materials is another great way to upgrade your garage and improve its value. Consider replacing particle boards with top-quality countertops and cabinets. Give your garage walls a fresh coat of paint and upgrade your flooring with polyaspartic flooring to give that high-end, finished look that most buyers want. You can customize the flooring to match the walls' and cabinets' color to make the space look more appealing and increase its value. You may also consider insulating your garage door to make the room feel more comfortable and usable even when it's cold outside.

Endnote

A nicely designed garage can serve as an additional room in your home, improving your garage's functionality and overall value. Use the tips discussed above to upgrade your garage and add its square footage, making your home look bigger and more spacious. These garage upgrades will also help improve your home's exterior and interior curb appeal, which can help attract many potential buyers.
