5 Tips for Planning a New Garage

Building a new garage isn’t just about creating extra parking – it’s about adding space, functionality, and even value to your home. Whether you’re tired of scraping ice off your windshield in the winter or you’ve simply run out of storage, a garage can be a game-changer. At Centennial Construction & Remodeling Services, Inc., we’ve helped countless homeowners turn this project into a smart investment, and we know the key details that make all the difference. Here are our top five tips for planning a new garage build.

1. Define the Purpose of Your Garage

Before blueprints even hit the table, decide what your garage’s primary purpose will be. Is it strictly for parking? Do you need a workshop, extra storage, or even a space for hobbies? Your intended use will determine the size, layout, and features, like workbenches, outlets, or loft storage.

2. Match the Size and Style to Your Home

A garage should complement your house, not overwhelm it. Consider how many cars you’ll store and if you’ll need extra room for bikes, lawn equipment, or tools. Then, think about design. Matching rooflines, siding, and colors to your home will ensure your new garage looks like it’s always been part of the property.

3. Check Zoning and Permits

Noblesville has specific codes and zoning regulations that impact where and how you can build. These rules cover setbacks, height restrictions, and sometimes even design elements. Working with an experienced contractor can save you headaches by navigating these requirements for you.

4. Focus on Functionality & Comfort

Little details go a long way. Adding insulation, heating, or cooling can make your garage usable year-round. Windows and good lighting will make it feel less like a storage box and more like a functional extension of your home. Don’t forget about smart storage solutions like shelving or overhead racks to keep everything organized.

5. Plan Your Garage with the Future in Mind

Finally, think beyond today. Will your garage serve your needs five or ten years down the road? Planning with future growth in mind ensures your investment pays off for years to come.
