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: Is building a new home worth it?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/homebuilding-101-learn-what-expect-when-building-home.htm">Building a new home</a> can be more expensive than buying an existing one, depending on the housing market in your area. Many homeowners still find that building a new house is worth the investment as they can choose the exact layout they want, as well as to choose their own floors, wall coverings, appliances, and finishes. If you live close enough to the build site, you can also stop by to check on the builder&rsquo;s progress, which can provide some peace of mind that the project is worth it.</p></div>

Q: What are the pros and cons of adding a room above my garage?

• <div><p>A new space over the garage offers several upsides, including added living space, more storage space, and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-additions-add-value.htm">boosted home value from the addition</a>. If you create an attached ADU with the space, you could secure more privacy for you and any guests you have, or even some rental income if you rent the area. However, there are some drawbacks to consider, too, including the high up-front cost, the potential need to increase structural integrity, and size restrictions since garages are smaller than an entire floor of your home.</p></div>

Q: How long will it take to complete the project?

• <div><p>Painting countertops can take a few days to complete yourself. However, keep in mind that it can take up to 14 days for the sealer to cure. So, you want to make sure you wait the manufacturer's recommended amount of time before using your countertops after painting them.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to convert a carport into a garage?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-convert-carport-garage.htm">cost to convert a carport into a garage</a> averages about<b> $22,000</b>, ranging from about <b>$15,000 and $55,000</b>. Additional cost factors to consider include size, time of year, and how much of the carport you can reuse. Other cost factors include the kinds and amounts of materials used, such as:</p><ul><li><p>Add insulation: $1 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Add drywall: $1&ndash;$3 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Add window: $450&ndash;$2,000 per window</p></li><li><p>Add outlets: $75&ndash;$500</p></li><li><p>Add garage door: $250&ndash;$11,200</p></li><li><p>Enclose framing: $5&ndash;$13 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Replace roofing: $1,000&ndash;$2,000</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

"Wow, wow, wow. Excellent customer service. Chris & Cody were so polite and honest. Gave us a good quote to remove and put new shingles on our camp and garage. They were there when they said they would be, all the workers were nice and did a great job. The roof looks fantastic, neighbors are already commenting on it. Thank you so much.
