Q: How much does it cost to build a garage?

• <div><p>Building a garage costs between <b>$16,500</b> <b>and</b> <b>$41,000</b>, but most homeowners pay between <b>$5,000</b> <b>and</b> <b>$70,000</b>. The enormous range in costs is due to a wide variety of sizes and materials, as well as certain projects requiring specialized labor. Some good news is that if you ever sell or refinance your home, you can often recoup the cost of a garage install. </p></div>

Q: What is the most affordable house to build per square foot?

• <div><p>Ranch and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-colonial-style-house.htm">colonial-style homes</a> are often the most affordable to build. They have a common layout with available designs that are easy to adjust in simple ways without having to spend too much on a structural engineer or architect. Both types of homes' symmetry, simple roofs, and often one or two-story plans mean they often fall in the $150 to $200 square-foot range, putting them right around average. </p></div>

Q: Is it worth putting a mini-split in a garage?

• <div><p>Installing new <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/improve-home-value-new-air-conditioner.htm">HVAC can increase a home&rsquo;s value</a> by 5% to 7%. While installing a mini-split unit in the garage may not offer that much of a boost to the home value, it is a lower-cost option than installing a more traditional cooling system in the garage. Plus, if a cooler garage allows you to spend more time in the space doing tasks you enjoy, it makes the investment worthwhile.</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: Is it cheaper to buy or build garage shelves?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s much less expensive to build your own garage shelves, and you&rsquo;ll still get stable, long-lasting, and sharp-looking shelves. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-do-garage-storage-systems-cost.htm">Garage storage systems cost</a> between <b>$615 and $2,635</b>, with the national average of about <b>$1,455</b>.
