Are prefabricated garages worth it?

• <div><p>A prefab, or prefabricated garage, requires far less construction work than one with a foundation and frame, but it’s not nearly as desirable and may not be a worthwhile option. A prefabricated garage won’t be as durable or long-lasting, and it doesn’t provide the same protection for your belongings and vehicles. Plus, you can use a standard garage for more uses—like living space—whereas a prefab garage only serves as a space for storage. Lastly, building a traditional garage will add to your home value, while a prefab garage usually won’t.</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: 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>

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>

Home was prebuilt in a newer neighborhood. Quality was OK, but not completely "high end". We purchased the home just prior to the downturn in the economy and liked the neighborhood. No major defects or issues and we have been in the home for 5 years. Would build again with this company.
