We’ve also thought about adding insulation above the garage to help. I’ve seen the thermal roof barrier too. Does that “cook” the roof shingles by redirecting the heat back into the shingles?
I bought a portable AC for our garage. I connect the end of the vent hose to the rectangular garage door vent when using the AC unit. I can easily remove the vent hose when I'm done using the AC in the garage. Within 15 minutes of running the portable AC the garage is pleasant. I supplement the cooling with a garage ceiling fan and oscillating floor fan. This is the unit I bought: Amazon.com
