When it comes to increasing your property’s value, you don’t always have to think big. In fact, one of the smartest investments you can make is right in your backyard—or your driveway. A well-designed garage or shed not only adds usable space but also boosts your home’s resale appeal in a competitive market. At Evolution Supply, we’ve helped countless homeowners turn a simple addition into a long-term asset. Here’s how you can do the same.
More Than Just Storage
Garages and sheds often get labeled as “extra storage,” but they’re so much more. Whether you need a place to keep tools, create a workshop, or store vehicles and recreational equipment, these structures provide practical, flexible space that can adapt to your lifestyle.
Buyers love usable square footage, and while garages and sheds don’t typically count toward a home’s official square footage, they absolutely contribute to overall function and livability. A shed might become a garden center, home office, or even a small guest space. A garage might house not just cars, but a gym, studio, or small business workspace. The potential is huge—and that means more perceived value to buyers.
Boosting Curb Appeal and Resale Value
First impressions matter, and a high-quality outbuilding can improve the look and feel of your entire property. Prefab or custom-built garages and sheds from Evolution Supply are designed to complement your home’s style and layout, enhancing curb appeal and creating a cohesive look.
According to several real estate industry surveys, a well-maintained garage can increase a home’s resale value by as much as 5–10%. That’s no small number, especially when you consider the relatively modest investment required to build a new garage or shed.
If you’re planning to sell your home in the next few years, buyers will take note of that extra space. Especially in areas where outdoor storage is limited, the presence of a sturdy, well-designed garage or shed can set your property apart from others in the same price range.
Designed to Fit Your Needs
No two properties are the same, and your outbuilding shouldn’t be either. That’s why we offer a range of materials, sizes, and configurations—so you can build exactly what you need. Here are a few ideas to consider:
- Single-car garages: Great for city or suburban lots where space is limited.
- Detached two-car garages: Ideal for homeowners who need additional parking or want to create a multipurpose space.
- Utility sheds: Perfect for lawn equipment, tools, or garden supplies.
- Workshop sheds: Designed for hobbyists, makers, and small business owners who need a space to work from home.
Customization not only makes your space more useful—it also increases value. Buyers will see thoughtful design and versatility, which translates to strong resale appeal.

Quality Matters
Not all garages and sheds are created equal. Cheaper models made with lower-quality materials might seem like a bargain upfront, but they can become a liability over time. They may suffer from leaks, pests, rot, or structural issues, which can actually hurt your property value.
At Evolution Supply, we use durable, weather-resistant materials and proven building methods to ensure your investment stands the test of time. We also make it easy to choose finishes, roofing, doors, and layouts that suit your style and your budget.
High-quality doesn’t have to mean high-cost. Our team works with you to create smart, cost-effective solutions without sacrificing strength or appearance.
ROI That Pays Off
Let’s talk numbers. According to recent data from HomeAdvisor and Remodeling Magazine, adding a detached garage can return as much as 65–80% of your investment at resale. Sheds also deliver excellent returns, especially when they’re insulated, electrified, or tailored for specific uses.
Even if you’re not planning to sell soon, the immediate benefits are clear: more space, better organization, and a cleaner home. By removing clutter from your basement, closets, or yard, you create a more open and functional environment inside your home—which can improve both your daily life and future listing photos.
And when it’s time to sell? You’ll have an eye-catching, move-in ready space that shows buyers your home has been cared for and upgraded with intention.
