What should I consider when buying and building an RV garage?

• <div><p>Make sure you’re getting the right size to meet your space needs, including enough space both side to side and vertically to accommodate your RV’s features and allow you to safely move it in and out of the garage. </p><p>If you’re building an attached and enclosed garage for your RV, you’ll also want to give some thought to whether you’d like to add workspace, water or electricity, or additional storage. If so, you’ll need a garage with larger dimensions.</p></div>

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>

How Much Do Building Permits Cost?

• <div><p>The national average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-building-permit-cost.htm">cost of a building permit</a> is about <b>$1,600</b>, but this number includes extensive renovations. Homeowners typically spend between <b>$150</b> and <b>$2,000 </b>in general on one or multiple permits for their project. Conversely, permits for simple projects, such as minor electrical renovations, could cost as little as <b>$10</b>.</p></div>

Does building up or building out provide more ROI?

• <div><p>Since building up tends to provide useful bedrooms and other extra spaces without the need to do a lot of foundation work and cut into your yard, second stories tend to have better ROI—up to 65%—than other kinds of additions. But ROI will depend on the type of rooms you are planning and what your current house has. It’s not a very reliable way to judge the success or failure of a project, so consider other factors as well. </p></div>

Bennie and his crew did multiple jobs. He is wonderful at fixing inside and outside doors, siding trim , and building decks. I hope to get him back in the future to install a slider and shelf’s in a closet. Reasonable and good work.

Ryan is a fraud! We trusted his professional advice about fixing a wall in a building we had purchased. But come to find out he had no idea what he was doing. $7,000 later he had built 1/2 a wall just had to tear it down so we can have it fixed correctly. Took the money and ran.

John takes an Extraordinary Long Time for discovery. A door and the hole could have been fixed quickly but wasn't. I felt that he wasn't working for my best interest, so we chose another builder. He is difficult to communicate with.
