Q: Is it cheaper to buy or build garage shelves?

Q: Do I tip builders and general contractors?

• <div><p>No, builders and general contractors don&rsquo;t expect tips. In fact, some companies may prohibit their employees from accepting client tips. If you want to show gratitude for a job well done, consider writing a review of your builder or contractor or agreeing to be a reference for potential new customers.</p></div>

Q: What part of the house takes the longest to build?

• <div><p>Framing tends to be the longest step in the construction process, especially for larger homes. It takes anywhere from one week to a couple of months, depending on the house size, the number of people on the construction crew, and the time of year. The design stage often takes a long time, too. Some people spend months or even years contemplating their house&rsquo;s size, layout, and materials before construction begins.</p></div>

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

• <div><p>Building a garage costs between <b>$16,500</b> <b>and</b> <b>$41,000</b>, but most homeowners pay between <b>$5,000</b> <b>and</b> <b>$70,000</b>. The enormous range in costs is due to a wide variety of sizes and materials, as well as certain projects requiring specialized labor. Some good news is that if you ever sell or refinance your home, you can often recoup the cost of a garage install. </p></div>

Q: How long does a garage conversion take?

• <div><p>A garage conversion typically takes between four and eight weeks, depending on the garage&rsquo;s size and the project&rsquo;s complexity. For a detached garage conversion, you may not experience much impact on daily life while it&rsquo;s under construction, whereas an attached garage conversion can disrupt daily life quite significantly, given its proximity to the rest of your living space. </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".
