What types of projects will a general contractor manage?

• <div><p>General contractors typically manage home renovation or build projects that last more than a week and involve various skilled tradespeople. Some examples include <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/homebuilding-101-learn-what-expect-when-building-home.htm">building a new home</a> or barn, adding an extension or garage, or carrying out major room remodels involving extensive plumbing, electrical, and structural changes.</p></div>

Q: Are prefab garages worth it?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s better to build a garage than buy and install a prefabricated one. You can save money by purchasing a prefabricated metal garage kit for between <b>$4,000 and $11,000</b>. However, this does not include the price of labor and permits, which can account for more than half of the project cost. Building a new garage over buying a prefab garage will add more value to your home and will last longer, so it&rsquo;s more cost-effective over time to build a new garage.</p></div>

Q: Can I convert my garage into an ADU?

• <div><p>You can convert your garage into an ADU. You&rsquo;ll need to follow local building codes to ensure your new unit is up to code. For the most part, building an ADU in an existing building is more affordable than building a new one. Even so, consider the condition of your garage before making a decision. Not all garages are in shape for a smooth conversion to an ADU, and renovations can add up in cost.</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: How much is an extension above the garage?

• <div><p>Due to space restrictions, some homeowners choose to build an above-garage extension. This second-floor area can be used for storage or living space, but it&rsquo;s more involved than your standard garage extension project. For example, you might need to pay for foundational or structural reinforcement if your current garage can&rsquo;t handle the extra load. Expect to pay $25,000 to $100,000 to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/adding-room-above-garage.htm">add a room above the garage</a>. </p></div>
