Q: Can you put an addition on top of a garage?

• <div><p>Putting an addition on top of a garage is similar to installing a second story on a single-story home. You'll likely need the assistance of a structural engineer, however, to determine if the garage's existing foundation, walls, and ceiling can handle the extra loads. Typically, your garage will require adding strength to one or more of those things to support the addition.</p></div>

Q: Does a garage add value to your property?

• <div><p>Having a garage installed certainly adds to the value of your home. The consideration is not whether it adds value, but for many, they want to know if adding a garage yields a return on their investment or ROI. While garages can add anywhere from 5% to 20% of the total value of your property, that doesn&rsquo;t mean that they return 5% to 20% of the money invested in building them. Most homeowners build garages for a purpose but know that you can recover your investment when you sell or refinance. </p></div>

Q: Do remodels require permits?

• <div><p>Yes, major renovations such as widening doors or installing lifts typically require permits and inspections.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth putting a mini-split in a garage?

• <div><p>Installing new <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/improve-home-value-new-air-conditioner.htm">HVAC can increase a home&rsquo;s value</a> by 5% to 7%. While installing a mini-split unit in the garage may not offer that much of a boost to the home value, it is a lower-cost option than installing a more traditional cooling system in the garage. Plus, if a cooler garage allows you to spend more time in the space doing tasks you enjoy, it makes the investment worthwhile.</p></div>
