Each Home should follow a system and be adjusted with an annual maintenance check list conducted. Door adjustments are part of the process and common. Always have a professional look at the issue although it could simply be a small adjustment.

Sealing the floor with an epoxy or sealer is a great feature like Bob said. Also make it a hang out with cool furniture and theme it to match what you love...
A finished room over the garage is a great place for guests to stay on your property and not feel like they are "in the way" from Inlaws to old friends the Guest suite can be an amazing place to get away
If the ultimate work shop is your flavor look into conditioned space or controling the moisture
- Note check building codes and NEVER use existing HVAC for garage area space to be applied to cool/ heat. mixing living space and garage space on the same system is very dangerous due to gases and fumes.
SPOUSE TIP: Always look to an expert and Let your loved one do what they do best and Outsorce the rest
Alex, the region you are in is crucial and consider the cost vs time of recapitization

BLEACH IT!
BOMB SQUAD ANSWER// HTH or better known as house hold bleach. As an Explosive Ordnance Disposal Operator House hold bleach can be your greatest weapon for biological items such as mold. Add a little dawn soap to stick to the surface. Spray, allow to treat, and then scrub and rinse!

Plyfast is a leading system for proper windborne debree protection. There is a less cost intensive way. Your options are functional shutters, OSB pre drilled and ready to set or a hybrid. Http://gaviganhomes.com either way ensure your plan is ready Andy easy to install. I'd suggest a waterproof membrane over OSB And pre lagged easy to apply system. Test before you need it.
Security mods may be done for man made situations also. Be prepared and leave early in a potential Natural disaster

A great feature to have. If you don’t have a shut off valve ask the plumber to install one. If you leave on vacation or have a leak you can easily shut off the water to your condo. Check with the association first for the insurance Compamy also. Billy Gavigan
