5 Things That Make Your Garage Ugly

As homeowners, our goal is to make our garage look good. Whenever we feel that it is beginning to look ugly, we think of having a garage makeover. To some, makeovers are not that special, instead, they are part of maintenance.

When you say maintenance, it is cleaning and mending if there is anything broken regularly. If your garage is not maintained properly, the following will happen to your garage:

1.    Stains on the wall and flooring

Stains on the wall and flooring can go unnoticed at first. However, if it sits there longer, dusts will stick to them and they will be hardened. Thus, you see ugly marks. This can be avoided if stains will be wiped off as soon as they are discovered.

You may also choose stain-resistant materials for your flooring next time if you do not have enough time for regular cleaning.

2.    Flickering lights
It is very common among us to wait for our lights to flicker before we buy replacement. Sometimes, when we are too busy with many appointments, we do not get time to buy one. The result is leaving our lights flickering longer until we forget doing something about it.

Having an extra bulb in our garage can help a lot when we see that our lights are starting to malfunction.

3.    Fading and chipping paint

Fading and chipping paint is usual especially in hot weather. But this is not an excuse to have this in your garage. This will make your garage look old and unpleasant.

You may want to switch to another brand of paint, or settle for wallpapers to avoid having chipped and fading walls.

4.    Insects
Cockroaches, spiders, and the likes should not be welcome in your garage. Their presence is a sign that you are not cleaning your garage well. This leads to bad impression to whoever sees it.

Using insect repellents can help you as well as making sure there are no food-bits that attract them to stay there.

5.    Falling gutter
During rainy season your gutter is very helpful. When you gutter starts to fall, you may have problems draining rainfall. The sight of falling gutter is associated with depreciation. If somebody sees it, he might think that your garage is non-functional already.

If you are planning to sell your house, the falling gutter of your garage will make potential buyers feel that you should sell it at a lower price.
