Are prefabricated garages worth it?

• <div><p>A prefab, or prefabricated garage, requires far less construction work than one with a foundation and frame, but it’s not nearly as desirable and may not be a worthwhile option. A prefabricated garage won’t be as durable or long-lasting, and it doesn’t provide the same protection for your belongings and vehicles. Plus, you can use a standard garage for more uses—like living space—whereas a prefab garage only serves as a space for storage. Lastly, building a traditional garage will add to your home value, while a prefab garage usually won’t.</p></div>

Q: How long does building a garage take?

• <div><p>The time it takes to build a garage depends on the type and size of the garage you choose. On average, most garage builds take between six and 10 weeks to complete, though an attached multi-car garage can take between 12 and 24 weeks.</p></div>

Q: Is it possible to finance new construction?

• <div><p>Yes, there are a few different ways you can finance new construction. Some lenders offer new construction loans that cover the building costs and then convert to a standard mortgage once construction is complete. Some custom homebuilders also offer financing options that only require a down payment before you begin the building process. Construction loans are possible, as well, although they typically only cover the building process, and you&rsquo;ll need to pay in full once the house is completed.</p></div>

Q: What adds more value, a garage or extra room?

• <div><p>It depends on a lot of factors, but generally speaking, added living space is more desirable to most buyers, which means an extra room will be more valuable than a traditional garage. The utility of the new space will determine how much ROI you&rsquo;ll see. An additional bedroom will generally be more valuable than a living room or family room, and converting your garage to a bedroom with a bathroom will likely add the most value.</p></div>

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

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-build-garage.htm">Building a garage costs</a> around <b>$29,500</b>, but prices can range from<b> $16,800 to $42,200</b>, depending on factors like size, materials, and whether it&rsquo;s attached or detached. Additional tasks like electrical work, plumbing, or custom features can increase the total. Keep in mind that labor makes up 50% to 70% of the total cost, so picking the right contractor is crucial. While the price can vary, investing in a skilled professional&mdash;with the right certifications, licenses, and experience&mdash;is money well spent to ensure a safe, high-quality build.</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".
