As you drive through today’s newer housing estates, you’ll often see double garages being used for more than just parking — with one side housing a car and the other filled with kids’ bikes, bins, kayaks, or even serving as a home office or creative studio. With smaller lot sizes becoming more common over the years, many homeowners have had to extend their storage — and sometimes even living space — into the garage. When thoughtfully designed, a garage can be a practical and adaptable area, but without a clear plan, it can easily turn into a cluttered mess.

Renovating Garages and Carports

Larger properties may have space for a backyard shed to hold tools, bikes, or sports gear, but in many modern developments, the garage often becomes the catch-all for household overflow. For families with two vehicles, this often means one car ends up parked outside. Renovating a garage or carport is frequently paired with updating the front of the home, as garages are typically a key visual feature. Sometimes, a basic improvement like a new roller door can make a big impact, while in other cases, a full renovation might include extending the garage to create better storage. A smartly organized garage improves accessibility, enhances safety, and keeps things stress-free.

Constructing a New Garage or Carport

Many older homes were built without a garage or carport, and that’s where we step in. In some cases, an existing garage has been repurposed into a living space, creating the need for a new structure. In others, the original design simply didn’t include any covered parking. Whether building a brand-new garage or replacing an outdated one, we ensure the design fits the style of the home and blends in seamlessly. If needed, we can extend the roofline to connect the new garage or carport to the main house — either matching the existing roof or adding a modern architectural touch.
