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: How much does it cost to convert a carport into a garage?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-convert-carport-garage.htm">cost to convert a carport into a garage</a> averages about<b> $22,000</b>, ranging from about <b>$15,000 and $55,000</b>. Additional cost factors to consider include size, time of year, and how much of the carport you can reuse. Other cost factors include the kinds and amounts of materials used, such as:</p><ul><li><p>Add insulation: $1 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Add drywall: $1&ndash;$3 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Add window: $450&ndash;$2,000 per window</p></li><li><p>Add outlets: $75&ndash;$500</p></li><li><p>Add garage door: $250&ndash;$11,200</p></li><li><p>Enclose framing: $5&ndash;$13 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Replace roofing: $1,000&ndash;$2,000</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Will converting a carport into a garage add value to your home?

• <div><p>An addition like a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-garage-add-to-home-value.htm">garage can increase your home value</a> significantly, but it&rsquo;s also quite expensive to convert a carport into a garage. In some cases, you may see just a small boost to home value. With that being said, a carport conversion can add value to your experience as a homeowner long before you sell. Garages are useful for security reasons and storing vehicles, plus they can serve as a convenient place for storage and as workspaces or even living spaces. </p></div>

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>

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.
