Does building up or building out provide more ROI?

• <div><p>Since building up tends to provide useful bedrooms and other extra spaces without the need to do a lot of foundation work and cut into your yard, second stories tend to have better ROI—up to 65%—than other kinds of additions. But ROI will depend on the type of rooms you are planning and what your current house has. It’s not a very reliable way to judge the success or failure of a project, so consider other factors as well. </p></div>

• <div><p>While the primary purpose of a garage may be to create a secure, weatherproof space to park your vehicles, there are other reasons to consider building one. A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-garage-add-to-home-value.htm">garage can increase your home’s value</a>, for one thing.</p><p>Having a garage also gives you a bit of extra storage and possibly living space. You can build a two-story garage and use the upper area as a rec room or lounge space. If you finish the second floor of the garage, you may even be able to rent it out.</p></div>

How long does construction take?

• <div><p>Construction typically takes 1-3 weeks, depending on the project’s scope and customization.</p></div>

Q: How much is an extension above the garage?

• <div><p>Due to space restrictions, some homeowners choose to build an above-garage extension. This second-floor area can be used for storage or living space, but it&rsquo;s more involved than your standard garage extension project. For example, you might need to pay for foundational or structural reinforcement if your current garage can&rsquo;t handle the extra load. Expect to pay $25,000 to $100,000 to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/adding-room-above-garage.htm">add a room above the garage</a>. </p></div>

Q: Is a garage considered living space?

• <div><p>In some cases, a detached garage can be considered extra living space, but you will need to gain permission and comply with your local building code. Depending on where you live, you may need permits for a variety of installations, including electrical work, plumbing, and structural work. Many homeowners make the mistake of converting a garage into a living space without acquiring permits, which can result in hefty fines and even the removal of your hard work. Furthermore, a detached garage doesn&rsquo;t add to the livable square footage of your home when it&rsquo;s time to sell.</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".
