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>

What is the best material for building a garage?

• <div><p>Wood, steel, fiberglass, and aluminum are among the top building materials for a garage. Wood is highly customizable, naturally insulative, and durable in mild climates but can be expensive. Steel is lightweight, low-maintenance, and cost-effective, but it’s susceptible to rust. Fiberglass is low-maintenance and doesn’t shrink or expand in changing temperatures, but it can become brittle and crack from prolonged high winds and sun exposure. </p><p>Unlike steel, aluminum isn’t susceptible to rust and is low-maintenance, but its ultra-light weight makes it less durable than some materials, and it’s susceptible to saltwater damage, making it a poor choice for coastal homes.</p></div>

Is it cheaper to buy or build garage shelves?

• <div><p>It’s much less expensive to build your own garage shelves, and you’ll still get stable, long-lasting, and sharp-looking shelves. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-do-garage-storage-systems-cost.htm">Garage storage systems cost</a> between <b>$615 and $2,635</b>, with the national average of about <b>$1,455</b>. Building DIY garage shelves typically costs less than <b>$500</b>, and the quality of a DIY garage shelving unit will almost always be higher than what you could buy premade for the equivalent price.</p></div>

Q: What makes a garage count as living space?

• <div><p>For a garage to count as living space&mdash;and towards your home&rsquo;s total square footage&mdash;it needs to be attached to the rest of your home and have permanent finishings such as proper insulation, finished walls and ceilings, and adequate ventilation. It also needs to be livable at all times of the year, so it should be heated if it gets cold in the winter and cooled for hot summers.</p></div>

Q: What time of year is best to build a garage?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s usually best to build a garage in the summer or fall, with most homeowners preferring the fall. Winter might bring frozen ground that can make excavating and pouring a foundation a challenge, and spring tends to bring more rainfall, which can delay the building process. Most homeowners who DIY portions of their garage build prefer fall over summer, as the temperature is usually cooler and more conducive to the strenuous work required to build the structure. </p></div>

Scott was a pleasure to work with. He knows just about everything. He did a full concrete pad with reinforcement for hot tub. Build a deck and gazebo for us. And generally it is a honest and super terrific guy. I couldn't recommend him more.

Did not perform work to code, refuses to make it right. It's been almost two years of reminders from our building contractor and myself and he still claims he's too busy to deal with it.

They came in, completed the work in what I thought was super fast, it took them a few partial days. They hauled all the old building materials away. Every time I came home from work I had neighbors in my yard staring at my french doors. (They love them but probably not as much as me.)
