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: Does a garage add value to your property?

• <div><p>Having a garage installed certainly adds to the value of your home. The consideration is not whether it adds value, but for many, they want to know if adding a garage yields a return on their investment or ROI. While garages can add anywhere from 5% to 20% of the total value of your property, that doesn&rsquo;t mean that they return 5% to 20% of the money invested in building them. Most homeowners build garages for a purpose but know that you can recover your investment when you sell or refinance. </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: 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: What is the percentage of contractor profit?

• <div><p>Most contractors aim for about a 20% profit on a job, leaving themselves room for unexpected expenses or delays. After accounting for materials, labor, and insurance, the profit margin for most contractors is between 10% and 20%. Fluctuating costs of materials and labor affect the ultimate percentage.</p></div>

They stuck to their estimate, which was good, but they did not come consistently and left the job site unprotected for months at a time so water and dirt got in everywhere. The workers used a nearby barn to shelter from the winter wind during work breaks, which I did not mind, however they left...

My facility is a 100' x 60' pole barn. The installation took them 1 1/2 days. They cleaned up all scraps each day before they left and were courteous and polite whenever I asked a question. My facility looks so much neater now with the new gutters. I couldn't be happier.
