Larsen-Hoffman: More than Just Car Shelters

As the American family has evolved, the standard for garages has as well.  Garages are no longer simply lodging for the family car and dad’s power tools.  They are important storage units, home gyms, and small entertainment centers. 

The garage’s primary use is probably the first question you should keep in mind when in the planning phases.  Will this be a place for home-improvement projects?  If so, will there be room for a work-bench and storage of items such as tools and paint cans?  What sort of items will be stored in the garage?  Are there any precious heirlooms that might require some attention to air temperature and humidity?  Even if a customer is unsure about the specific needs of their garage, Larsen-Hoffman is happy to offer advice and suggestions for what will best fit needs and lifestyle. 

Another issue to keep in mind is where the utilities are kept in your home.  Is the hot water heater in the garage or in a utility closet?  Do you have central heating and if so, is there also a furnace in the garage?  If there is an air conditioning unit outside is it directly connected to the garage?  Besides insulation, Larsen-Hoffman is also quite experienced in different garage doors and even specialized garage flooring.  An option that is growing in popularity is the installation of compound-rubber flooring rather than standard flat concrete.
