When constructing a custom home, you can select how you will design your garage. There are advantages of having a garage – protection from theft, storms, snow, and more. However, choosing between an attached or detached garage might make you wonder. That is fine because Robin Ford Building can assist you in determining the correct answer. Keep reading to learn if an attached or detached garage is ideal for you.
Pros and Cons of an Attached Garage
The primary benefit of having an attached garage in your custom home is that it is easily accessible. This means your belongings, including your vehicle, are never far away. An attached garage can save space in your backyard, making it a larger space for children and pets to play. However, it can alter your curb appeal, potentially changing your architecture. Suppose you store hazardous chemicals or tools in your garage. Children have better access to the space, making your attached garage unsafe.
Overall, you should examine what you will use your garage for, the size of your backyard, and how you want the rest of your custom home to be designed if you consider constructing an attached garage.
Pros and Cons of a Detached Garage
Consider a detached garage if you use the space for woodwork, building projects, or anything else involving loud sounds and chemical odors. This prevents disturbances to the rest of the family and allows for work to be done in a comfortable setting. A detached garage also functions similarly to an attached garage in terms of the safety and protection of your vehicles.
However, your detached garage will be less accessible and less convenient. It may also take up more space on your property, limiting yard use. Consider your intentions and requirements for the garage itself before you decide to build a detached garage.
