Which states allow shipping container homes to be built?

• <div><p>It is a good idea to check in with your local city and state regulations before committing to building a shipping container home no matter where you live. This concept is pretty new across the country, and many places won’t let you build one.</p><p>The International Code Council (ICC) offers <a href="https://codes.iccsafe.org/content/ICCG52019">guidelines for home builders</a> on the safe use of ISO intermodal shipping containers repurposed as building components, which can be helpful to review when planning or designing a shipping container home.</p><p> </p><p></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: 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>

Q: Can you extend the length of your garage?

• <div><p>Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces. </p></div>

Q: How do I find someone to build a garage?

• <div><p>Hiring the right professional to build your garage can be easy if you know where to look. Feel free to ask neighbors or friends for recommendations. If that doesn&rsquo;t work, platforms like Angi can help you connect with trusted professionals in your area. You can read reviews, compare quotes, and view past projects. Research and interviewing multiple pros goes a long way in making sure you get the garage you want. </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.)
