Are prefabricated garages worth it?

• <div><p>A prefab, or prefabricated garage, requires far less construction work than one with a foundation and frame, but it’s not nearly as desirable and may not be a worthwhile option. A prefabricated garage won’t be as durable or long-lasting, and it doesn’t provide the same protection for your belongings and vehicles. Plus, you can use a standard garage for more uses—like living space—whereas a prefab garage only serves as a space for storage. Lastly, building a traditional garage will add to your home value, while a prefab garage usually won’t.</p></div>

Q: Does an RV garage add value to a home?

• <div><p>Yes, an RV garage can add value to a home. In most cases, homeowners can expect to see a return on investment (ROI) of 65% on a new RV garage. This isn&rsquo;t quite as high as a regular garage, but it still increases the value of your home.</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: 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: Can you extend a garage forward?

• <div><p>You can extend a garage forward. However, the existing layout and the amount of depth you wish to add will determine how much effort and money the task will require. Considerations include moving the garage door and support structures, rebuilding or adding onto the roof, and extending the garage floor and sometimes the foundation underneath.</p></div>
