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>

Q: Is it cheaper to buy a garage or build one?

• <div><p>In most cases, it&rsquo;s cheaper to build a garage, but it depends on how much of the labor you do yourself. If you can do most of it yourself, it tends to be cheaper than buying a prefab garage. But if you hire a contractor to build it, it&rsquo;ll likely end up more expensive than a prefab garage.</p></div>

Q: Is it more affordable to build or buy a home?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s almost always more affordable to buy an existing home, especially if the alternative is building a custom home. With that being said, new construction is worth more than a similarly-sized pre-owned home with equivalent finishes. You&rsquo;re more likely to see a healthy ROI if you have a home built and then quickly turn around and sell it.</p></div>

Q: How much does a garage bump out cost?

• <div><p>A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/garage-bump-out-addition.htm">garage bump-out</a> is a small addition that extends the size of the garage, usually by just a few feet. Homeowners might install bump-outs to store lawn equipment, sporting gear, holiday decorations, and more. Because you&rsquo;re not changing the existing garage structure as much, a bump-out isn&rsquo;t as expensive or labor intensive as a full-blown garage extension. Expect to pay around $1,800&ndash;$6,000 for 2-by-10-foot bump-out (and more for larger additions).</p><p> </p></div>

Q: 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&mdash;up to 65%&mdash;than other kinds of additions. But ROI will depend on the type of rooms you are planning and what your current house has. It&rsquo;s not a very reliable way to judge the success or failure of a project, so consider other factors as well. </p></div>

Our kitchen used to feel dark, cramped, and totally out of sync with how we live. We finally decided it was time for a change, and that’s when Zamir and his team came in. Day by day, we watched our old kitchen transform into a bright, open space that actually works for our family. The new open...

Working with America Cool Construction was a great experience. Very responsive to questions and gave the most detailed bid out of the three I got. Itâ s way different than many other contractors we dealt with. The installers were polite and worked a long date to complete the job.
