Dogwood Drive Project by Athens Building Group

The design build team selected Clopay Canyon Ridge Collection Limited Edition Series insulated faux wood carriage house garage doors with built-in WindCode reinforcement for the home’s two-car attached garage. The cladding looks like real wood, but it won’t rot, warp or crack, which is an important benefit for exterior products installed in a damp, four-season coastal environment. The boards are molded from real wood pieces to replicate the grain pattern and natural texture, and they can be painted or stained. Photo credit: Nat Rea.

Who says a garage has to house only cars and tools? We specialize in transforming your garage into a craft room, home gym, playroom, or the ultimate man cave. Our designers will work with you to determine the best built-in shelves and cabinets for your gym equipment, pool cues and home bar for socializing. We also offer overhead storage, organizers for the walls and racks for sports equipment, not to mention a full line of flooring options that give your garage floor a sleek appearance while being slip resistant and easy to clean.

Embarking on a garage remodeling project is a transformative endeavor that can significantly enhance both the functionality and aesthetics of the space. By investing in tailored storage solutions such as cabinets, wall-mounted organizers, and overhead racks, one can efficiently declutter the area and create a more organized storage system. Flooring upgrades, such as epoxy coatings or durable tiles, not only improve the garage's appearance but also provide a resilient surface. Adding custom workbenches or tool storage solutions contributes to a more efficient and user-friendly workspace. Additionally, incorporating proper lighting and ventilation ensures a well-lit and comfortable environment. A remodeled garage not only increases property value but also opens up possibilities for alternative uses, such as a home gym, workshop, or hobby space, making it a worthwhile investment for both practicality and lifestyle improvement.

Garage Remodel including “Ultimate” Man-Cave upstairs: Bonterra designed and remodeled a three-car garage, including heat, water, floor finishing and custom-designed organizational systems. The upstairs was converted into the ultimate man-cave with custom, hand-made bar, finishes, and built-ins — all with hand-milled, reclaimed wood from a felled barn. The space also includes a bath/shower, custom sound system and unique touches such as a custom retro-fitted ceiling light.

Garage organization, stroller storage, tool storage and entry way landing zone. Garage mudroom adds so much functional storage and looks beautiful!
