Garage Remodels

Have you outgrown your garage? You might want to enlarge it. Or perhaps you want to add storage space above the rafters. Maybe you want some built-in storage space. Do you scrape your rakes and garden shovel on your car because there is simply not enough room to get around? Perhaps you want to enlarge your garage to add a play room or provide office space?

McCarthy Contractors has been helping families with remodels of homes, rooms and garages for more than 50 years. The business was established in 1960 by our father, the late Robert L. McCarthy.

We, his sons, Frank McCarthy and Robert J. McCarthy, worked with him until he passed away in 2000. Now we own and run the business and are proud of the fine reputation our family has built. We are known throughout the Lowell, MA area and the rest of New England for providing top quality professional services at fair prices.

As a family business that has been in the community for so long, we have built a reputation for excellence in our work product.

Garage Remodel Ideas

If you are thinking of remodeling your garage, here are some tips you might appreciate. First of all, consider how you want to use your space in addition to parking the car.

Will you want to use it for:

  • Storage of out-of-season clothes, Christmas ornaments, camping supplies, lawn mower, gardening tools, skis or bicycles
  • A workshop with machines and tools
  • A place to work on your plants
  • A rec room
  • An office
  • A space to work on hobbies
  • Room for a freezer

Here are a few more things to consider when planning your garage remodel:

  • Will you want usable space above the rafters for storage?
  • Will you want an apartment above your garage?
  • Do you want the garage to have windows? (this will give you natural light, but will also allow others to see inside)
  • Instead of windows, perhaps you would like skylights?

Normally, when we remodel a garage we start from the beginning. We tear down the existing structure, excavate a new foundation, and pour a new floor. This will give you a chance to begin with fresh plans and incorporate all your ideas with a space built specifically to hold them.
