Dave Lupberger on Garage Remodeling: The last thing many people see when they leave their homes each morning is a dirty, dusty room filled with junk and greasy tools.

Lupberger: But others have a different idea about how their garage should look? a much different idea. Let's face it? a lot of people haven't considered putting money into a room they park their cars in. But that's not always the case.

Carol Keeter/Homeowner: For us it is a part of the home, rather than something that's set apart.

Lupberger: ?Garage renovation? is a growing trend across the country. Carol Keeter and her husband have taken true ownership of their garage? installing chrome wall boards, cabinets and making sure that every little thing has its own place.

Carol Keeter/Homeowner: He and I both like things to be finished. So it has a nice finished look, so it feels good. And it's clean and neat.

Lupberger: Many parts of a garage renovation can be done by a handy homeowner. But others take it to a different level.

Dan Boyd/Homeowner: Actually I've been thinking about this since we built the house 32 years ago, but I never knew how to put it all together.

Lupberger: When homeowner Dan Boyd finally pulled the trigger on his garage renovation? he found Sean Shiers of Global Garage. Sean is a highly-rated member of the ServiceMagic prescreened network of professionals. Dan's customized dream garage includes 8-foot storage cabinets, stainless steel countertops, a retractable air compressor and even a sink.

Dan Boyd/Homeowner: I'm very proud of the way it came out. The attention to detail is something that's part of my personality. So, this is the ultimate attention to detail.

Sean Shiers/Global Garages: You can take it to the Nth degree.

Lupberger: Shiers says people are redefining the way they feel about their garages. And when they complete a project, it doesn't take long for word to spread.

Sean Shiers/Global Garages: It's amazing what happens when the doors are open and you can see neighbors doing one of these (craning neck) as they walk by. The demand is growing exponentially.

Lupberger: So even if you're not turning your garage into actual living space, you may find yourself spending more time out here, finding things to do. To find a prescreened professional to get you started, go to ServiceMagic.com ? your home improvement connection.
