Q: How much does a detached garage add to home value?

• <div><p>Adding a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-garage-add-to-home-value.htm">detached garage can increase the home's value</a> by a healthy amount, provided it's well-constructed, permitted, and inspected. The return on investment for a detached garage depends on the structure's size and function, as well as its quality. On average, consumers who add a detached garage can expect their home's value to increase by between $12,000 and $36,000. </p></div>

Q: What are the pros and cons of adding a room above my garage?

• <div><p>A new space over the garage offers several upsides, including added living space, more storage space, and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-additions-add-value.htm">boosted home value from the addition</a>. If you create an attached ADU with the space, you could secure more privacy for you and any guests you have, or even some rental income if you rent the area. However, there are some drawbacks to consider, too, including the high up-front cost, the potential need to increase structural integrity, and size restrictions since garages are smaller than an entire floor of your home.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to build a detached garage?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/detached-garage-cost.htm">cost to build a detached garage</a> for two cars costs about <b>$26,400</b> on average. Prices range from <b>$19,200 to $33,600</b>, depending on your location, the garage size, height, materials, and site prep required. Additional cost factors include any plumbing, electrical wiring, and insulation. If you need to build a concrete foundation for a new detached garage, you can expect to pay <b>$1,000 to $8,600 </b>for this essential addition.</p></div>

Q: What is the best type of wood for overhead garage storage?

• <div><p>We recommend plywood and solid wood. Particleboard and MDF (medium-density fiberboard) are often too weak to hold significant loads, and could sag or deform under pressure. Plywood or solid wood are meant to last, and can handle the weight of several large items. If you want to spend a little more for a moisture-resistant material, you can consider using steel.</p></div>

Peffer Const. Co did A LOT of work at our house - a 2-BR 1-BA addition (660 sq. ft.) and two bathroom renovations. We are very pleased with the work and the results! Mr. Peffer has a wealth of experience in building trades so can readily translate ideas into reality since he knows how it's...

We asked for the fence to be close to our chain-link fence. It had a 2-foot and larger space between the fence and the chain link. It was not quite straight either. We had to tear down quite a bit of it and redo it ourselves. They may be great at power washing but not at fence building.
