• <div><p>A garage extension makes sense if you need more room to work, store your belongings, or park another vehicle. It’s also a smart financial move. As far as the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-garage-add-to-home-value.htm">value a garage adds to a home</a>, you can often recoup 75% to 85% of your investment into a garage extension.</p></div>

Does adding a garage apartment add value to your home?

• <div><p>Yes, a garage apartment is generally considered a valuable asset as long as the new structure has been legally built.

Q: Can you extend a garage forward?

• <div><p>You can extend a garage forward. However, the existing layout and the amount of depth you wish to add will determine how much effort and money the task will require. Considerations include moving the garage door and support structures, rebuilding or adding onto the roof, and extending the garage floor and sometimes the foundation underneath.</p></div>

Q: Can I convert my garage into an ADU?

• <div><p>You can convert your garage into an ADU. You&rsquo;ll need to follow local building codes to ensure your new unit is up to code. For the most part, building an ADU in an existing building is more affordable than building a new one. Even so, consider the condition of your garage before making a decision. Not all garages are in shape for a smooth conversion to an ADU, and renovations can add up in cost.</p></div>

Q: How long does it typically take to build a garage?

• <div><p>Typically 2-4 weeks, depending on size and custom features included.</p></div>

Avoid! Cannon Pricket is not reliable or honest. After nine months of having our $10k deposit, he did not complete our barn project. We are still waiting to receive the remainder ($3000) of our deposit back after cancelling due to his lack of communication and zero reliability. It’s a shame...

We were not impressed. We decided not to use this builder. Not a custom builder. They wouldn't make changes to house plans, not even for a price. Also beware everything is a "up grade".
