Garage Office, Yes It Is a Thing

Mary has just dropped the kids off at school and is going to the office. She heads back home, pulls into the driveway and enters her air-conditioned garage. Her garage office. Yes, it is a thing.

Whether you are self-employed or employed by an Orange County company that allows tele-commuting, a garage office will make perfect sense for you! And OC Junk Hauling stands ready at the beginning of such a project to help clear out what you don’t want or need in your garage right now.

Boxes. Boxes. Rusting bikes. Clunky exercise gear. More boxes, these with Christmas items. Anybody see a car in here? Doubt it; according to the National Association of Home Builders, 82% of homes have a garage that is at least a two-car garage, yet only 15% of people park their cars in them!

Wasted space. Not just physically but financially as well. Adding a home office or workspace in (or even above) the garage will boost a home’s value – and without the problems involved with altering the house floor plan.

Think of it. No distractions from kids or roommates, or the TV. And if you need to meet with co-workers or customers, in the garage office they needn’t have to deal with the cat jumping on their lap nor the dog trying to decide if he should bite their leg off.

Excited by the thought? So, what exactly can OC Junk Hauling take away now or after you do some interior work?

Construction materials: stucco, drywall materials, lumber materials, roofing materials, concrete, rock, brick, block, tile, remodeling debris, wood fencing, firewood, etc. We cannot accept any hazardous materials, including paint and oil.

Of course, before you start the project, it might be a good idea to consult with an architect. But if we could give you pieces of advice:

• Wall sockets! No getting around modern day electronic devices needing to be charged up and running. Planning ahead can save you money. It is less expensive to put extra electrical lines in before the drywall is installed.
• Lights! Garages usually have either no windows or something the size of a picture frame. Not much light. To make your office seems brighter, also consider painting what areas you can a bright color.
• AC! We are in the OC and summer’s might get a bit tepid in the garage. If you can’t control the temperature from the house, then consider some type of cooling unit (air conditioners or fans).

It all begins when you book a convenient appointment on-line or call OC Junk Hauling at (949) 424-9265. We will send out our Removal Experts.
