How much does a garage bump out cost?

• <div><p>A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/garage-bump-out-addition.htm">garage bump-out</a> is a small addition that extends the size of the garage, usually by just a few feet. Homeowners might install bump-outs to store lawn equipment, sporting gear, holiday decorations, and more. Because you’re not changing the existing garage structure as much, a bump-out isn’t as expensive or labor intensive as a full-blown garage extension. Expect to pay around $1,800–$6,000 for 2-by-10-foot bump-out (and more for larger additions).</p><p> </p></div>

Q: What adds more value, a garage or extra room?

• <div><p>It depends on a lot of factors, but generally speaking, added living space is more desirable to most buyers, which means an extra room will be more valuable than a traditional garage. The utility of the new space will determine how much ROI you&rsquo;ll see. An additional bedroom will generally be more valuable than a living room or family room, and converting your garage to a bedroom with a bathroom will likely add the most value.</p></div>

Q: What is the best type of wood for overhead garage storage?

• <div><p>We recommend plywood and solid wood. Particleboard and MDF (medium-density fiberboard) are often too weak to hold significant loads, and could sag or deform under pressure. Plywood or solid wood are meant to last, and can handle the weight of several large items. If you want to spend a little more for a moisture-resistant material, you can consider using steel.</p></div>

Q: Do I need an architect to build a room above my garage?

• <div><p>As with most large-scale home renovation projects, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-you-need-an-architect-for-addition.htm">you&rsquo;ll need an architect</a> to map out the exact layout and specs of your above-garage room, which is required in many municipalities. Some general contractors will serve as your architect, or they may bring on a residential architect to assist with the plans. </p></div>

Q: Should I build a garage myself?

• <div><p>If you're handy, you may want to take on building a garage as a do-it-yourself project. However, whether it's a good idea to build a garage on your own or not depends on the type of structure you want to build and local permitting laws. If you want to work with a pre-fab structure, you may be able to DIY. However, if laying a foundation is involved, you're better off working with a professional builder.</p></div>

Upon advice of the manufacturer, I talked to Mr. Goody about moving a 15 x 20 single car enclosed insulated garage at our lake house. He misunderstood and thought I had said carport. We have always called it "the garage" and never the carport, so this is not likely a mistake I would have made,...
