Default Garage Designers

I have a large garage that currently holds 4 cars including my vette. My home was built in 1965 and originally came with a car port. We bought the house in 2000 and the previous owner had built this meka of a garage. However he only installed 2 garage doors and there is definitely room to install a third bay. Since moving in we have done nothing to the driveway which is asphault and falling apart. Depending on how our taxes come out, I may start the garage renovation project this spring including redoing the driveway.

I live in Frederick, MD and was wondering if anybody had used the services of a local garage designer that they could recommend to plan the layout, lighting, etc.

Thanks
Jim

Beware that your budget may triple after getting ideas from that site.

Most of us would kill for a four-bay garage!


Post some pictures and your criteria for usage. I'll bet you get more than a few suggestions from us at no cost.


Are you planning on using all the spaces for parking; is there a lift in the picture, are you planning on doing a restoration, does it include a beer fridge and big screen tv, etc.

Challenge us!

Did my small two car garage with ideas from garagejournal.com.
Didn't spend too much $$$ but happy with the results.

Here are a couple of pics of the garage:




...and no the ZR1 is not mine. I wanted you to see that the third door would go to the left of the ZR1
