Q: Is it less expensive to build a garage or buy a kit?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s typically less expensive to buy a garage-building kit than to build a garage from scratch if you&rsquo;re supplying all the labor. However, unless you are an experienced builder, you will still need to hire pros to install the foundation, concrete floor, and add electrical and plumbing to your garage kit. In that case, it&rsquo;s worth the investment to build a garage through a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/garage-builders/">local garage builder</a> who can coordinate the hiring of other necessary pros.</p></div>

Q: What is the percentage of contractor profit?

• <div><p>Most contractors aim for about a 20% profit on a job, leaving themselves room for unexpected expenses or delays. After accounting for materials, labor, and insurance, the profit margin for most contractors is between 10% and 20%. Fluctuating costs of materials and labor affect the ultimate percentage.</p></div>

• <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.

Q: Will converting a carport into a garage add value to your home?

• <div><p>An addition like a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-garage-add-to-home-value.htm">garage can increase your home value</a> significantly, but it&rsquo;s also quite expensive to convert a carport into a garage. In some cases, you may see just a small boost to home value. With that being said, a carport conversion can add value to your experience as a homeowner long before you sell. Garages are useful for security reasons and storing vehicles, plus they can serve as a convenient place for storage and as workspaces or even living spaces. </p></div>

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".
