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>

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 is the percentage of contractor profit?

• <div><p>Most contractors aim for about a 20% profit on a job, leaving themselves room for unexpected expenses or delays. After accounting for materials, labor, and insurance, the profit margin for most contractors is between 10% and 20%. Fluctuating costs of materials and labor affect the ultimate percentage.</p></div>

Q: Can you extend a garage forward?

Q: Do remodels require permits?

• <div><p>Yes, major renovations such as widening doors or installing lifts typically require permits and inspections.</p></div>
