What is the best material for building a garage?

• <div><p>Wood, steel, fiberglass, and aluminum are among the top building materials for a garage. Wood is highly customizable, naturally insulative, and durable in mild climates but can be expensive. Steel is lightweight, low-maintenance, and cost-effective, but it’s susceptible to rust. Fiberglass is low-maintenance and doesn’t shrink or expand in changing temperatures, but it can become brittle and crack from prolonged high winds and sun exposure. </p><p>Unlike steel, aluminum isn’t susceptible to rust and is low-maintenance, but its ultra-light weight makes it less durable than some materials, and it’s susceptible to saltwater damage, making it a poor choice for coastal homes.</p></div>

Q: How long does building a garage take?

• <div><p>The time it takes to build a garage depends on the type and size of the garage you choose. On average, most garage builds take between six and 10 weeks to complete, though an attached multi-car garage can take between 12 and 24 weeks.</p></div>

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

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-build-garage.htm">Building a garage costs</a> around <b>$29,500</b>, but prices can range from<b> $16,800 to $42,200</b>, depending on factors like size, materials, and whether it&rsquo;s attached or detached. Additional tasks like electrical work, plumbing, or custom features can increase the total. Keep in mind that labor makes up 50% to 70% of the total cost, so picking the right contractor is crucial. While the price can vary, investing in a skilled professional&mdash;with the right certifications, licenses, and experience&mdash;is money well spent to ensure a safe, high-quality build.</p></div>

Q: Is a garage considered living space?

• <div><p>In some cases, a detached garage can be considered extra living space, but you will need to gain permission and comply with your local building code. Depending on where you live, you may need permits for a variety of installations, including electrical work, plumbing, and structural work. Many homeowners make the mistake of converting a garage into a living space without acquiring permits, which can result in hefty fines and even the removal of your hard work. Furthermore, a detached garage doesn&rsquo;t add to the livable square footage of your home when it&rsquo;s time to sell.</p></div>

Q: Should a new garage with an apartment be attached or detached from the home?

• <div><p>This is a matter of personal preference. However, building a detached structure is generally considered better if you intend to rent out the new space. The advantage to going with an attached garage addition is that you may pay less for plumbing, HVAC, and other features because you can use the existing systems from your home to carry over piping and wires.</p></div>

This is a maintenance free deck that should last my lifetime. On the higher end of the cost scale but I didn't want wood that would need stained or painted. And I especially didn't want decking material that deteriorates after 5 years. Or discolors and gets covered in mold. Very sturdy...
