Q: What are the pros and cons of adding a room above my garage?

• <div><p>A new space over the garage offers several upsides, including added living space, more storage space, and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-additions-add-value.htm">boosted home value from the addition</a>. If you create an attached ADU with the space, you could secure more privacy for you and any guests you have, or even some rental income if you rent the area. However, there are some drawbacks to consider, too, including the high up-front cost, the potential need to increase structural integrity, and size restrictions since garages are smaller than an entire floor of your home.</p></div>

Q: Does a garage add value to your property?

• <div><p>Having a garage installed certainly adds to the value of your home. The consideration is not whether it adds value, but for many, they want to know if adding a garage yields a return on their investment or ROI. While garages can add anywhere from 5% to 20% of the total value of your property, that doesn&rsquo;t mean that they return 5% to 20% of the money invested in building them. Most homeowners build garages for a purpose but know that you can recover your investment when you sell or refinance. </p></div>

Q: Can you put an addition on top of a garage?

• <div><p>Putting an addition on top of a garage is similar to installing a second story on a single-story home. You'll likely need the assistance of a structural engineer, however, to determine if the garage's existing foundation, walls, and ceiling can handle the extra loads. Typically, your garage will require adding strength to one or more of those things to support the addition.</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>

Q: How do different aspects of a garage influence installation expenses?

• <div><p>Costs depend on the size of the garage, material quality, and additional features like lighting or workbenches.</p></div>

Mr. Dave was great! He provided my mother and myself with great information. Mr. Dave put up our siding and did additional things around the home at no additional cost. I would definitely recommend!

Roof on house and garage looks good. We were given 30 days to pay but I wrote a check when the next sales person stopped by with the bill. We overpaid by $700 (senior discount). When we showed our receipt from Mike, with the correct cost of $700 less, Ryan said, "Final reason why, you...
