A garage is a vital part of your property. Did you know that you could build a garage completely made of metal? Since metal is often used to frame and build a strong building structure, why not use it for an entire structure itself? Here are six benefits of a custom metal garage.

1. Durability

If you want a versatile and durable garage, you can't go wrong with one made from steel. A garage made from steel or aluminum is a great way to shield an interior from dust, rot, and any other damage that can harm your vehicles or other items in your garage. Garage manufacturers can also use a special coating of paint or galvanization to protect your garage from corrosion and UV rays. Metal is one of the hardest elements on the planet, so when you have a structure such as a garage made from it, you can expect it to last a long time, especially when you care for it.

2. Design

Metal manufacturers can manipulate metal in different ways. As a result, a metal garage can be very versatile in terms of its style and design. Your metal garage can come in various layouts, shapes, sizes, and even colors. You can have different styles of doors and windows in your garage. Do you prefer sliding garage doors or embellished ones? The choice is yours.

3. Property Value

Your home is likely your largest and most expensive asset, so you want to protect its value. When you make the right upgrades and build the right structures, you'll easily do just that. Because metal is so strong and durable, a metal garage can stay intact for many years. In other words, when you build this garage from scratch, not only can it possibly outlast your time on your property, but it can be just as strong and sturdy for the next person living in your home. It's a great consideration if you plan to age-in-place in a home you're in and eventually pass it on to your heirs.

4. Curb Appeal

Can you imagine how a new custom metal garage will look on your property? Remember, anything on your residential exterior adds or detracts from your curb review. Curb appeal refers to the aesthetic quality of your exterior, which includes how your landscape, exterior painting, roofing, and garage appear. So, if you plan on selling your home now or anytime in the future, keeping up with its curb appeal can go a long way in selling your home faster and for a better price.

5. Quick Installation

When you decide to install a metal garage on your property, you don't have to wait around forever for it to be complete. According to IBISWorld, the market size of the sheet-metal roofing manufacturing industry in the U.S. has grown by 1.8% per year on average between 2017 and 2022. As a result, your metal garage can easily be manufactured at a facility. Certain parts of the garage, like your wall panels, doors, and roofing, are prefabricated. Then they'll be brought to your home and can be assembled on-site quickly.

6. Eco-friendly

Are you worried about the carbon footprint you leave on the environment? Do you prefer to recycle as much as possible and pride yourself on living in a green home? When you invest in a custom metal garage, you can continue to live an eco-friendly lifestyle. Metal is one of the most sustainable materials to use, according to The American Iron and Steel Institute. Once your metal garage has outlived its lifespan, which will take a very long time, the used metal is still valuable. Metal can easily be melted down and turned into a range of products. Old scraps could be recycled into automotive parts. It can also go into metal roofing, and of course, jewelry items are the perfect way to utilize old metal.

As you can see, you have many reasons to consider the benefits of adding a custom metal garage to your property. This type of garage can stand out on your block due to its beauty, custom design, and durability. You can look forward to having this structure protect your vehicles for several decades.
