Does upgrading a garage increase home value?

• <div><p>Yes, upgrading a garage can increase home value. Simply having a garage on your property, whether it’s attached or detached, makes your home more valuable. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-remodel-garage.htm#faqs">A garage remodel</a> can give you around 80% ROI, though it depends on the type of remodel you do. Converting your garage to a living space can provide significantly higher returns.</p></div>

Is a garage extension worth it?

• <div><p>A garage extension makes sense if you need more room to work, store your belongings, or park another vehicle. It’s also a smart financial move. As far as the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-garage-add-to-home-value.htm">value a garage adds to a home</a>, you can often recoup 75% to 85% of your investment into a garage extension.</p></div>

Q: What projects require a building permit?

• <div><p>The requirement for building permits varies by location, but most building departments will require permits for any changes to the structural components of a home. They&rsquo;ll also require them for changes to the plumbing, electrical, and HVAC components, as well as any permanent improvements to the land, including concrete patios or foundations for additions or outbuildings. You also might need <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-you-need-a-permit-to-replace-a-roof.htm">permits for things like roof replacement</a> and window replacement, depending on your local government.</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: Do I need an architect to build a room above my garage?

• <div><p>As with most large-scale home renovation projects, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-you-need-an-architect-for-addition.htm">you&rsquo;ll need an architect</a> to map out the exact layout and specs of your above-garage room, which is required in many municipalities. Some general contractors will serve as your architect, or they may bring on a residential architect to assist with the plans. </p></div>

Jose (owner) and his helper completed the project the same week I requested a contractor. They contacted me the day as my request. They completed the job and also pointed out that my chimney had no flashing. I asked if they could accomplish the task the same day which they did. Jose also gave me...

The two guys were very fast, efficient and cleaned up all of the mess. There was damage to one window screen, one panel of the patio door and missing part for the door which they are replacing and taking care of it for us. We were very pleased.

"We recently hired Joe & 2T Construction to completely remodel our kitchen, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, the experience was smooth, professional, and stress-free. They began by handling the full demolition of our old kitchen with care and efficiency, making sure to minimize disruption to the rest of our home. Throughout the remodel, their communication was excellent—they kept us informed at every stage and were always available to answer our questions.
