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>

Can you finance new construction?

• <div><p>Yes, you can finance new construction using a construction loan or a construction-to-permanent loan, or you can use a home equity line of credit or a cash-out refinance if you’re building a second home. Some mortgagors may have restrictions on DIY house builds, so be sure to check that you can get financing before starting your project. </p></div>

Is it cheaper to build or buy overhead garage shelving?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-do-garage-storage-systems-cost.htm">cost of garage storage systems</a> is, on average, between <b>$615 and $2,635</b>. A <a href="https://www.angi.com/companylist/home-and-garage-organization.htm">garage organizing specialist</a> usually charges between <b>$55 and $75 per hour</b>, so completing this project on your own can save you a significant chunk of change. That said, hiring a professional can save you time, and they can help create a perfect system for your items.</p></div>

Q: Do I tip builders and general contractors?

• <div><p>No, builders and general contractors don&rsquo;t expect tips. In fact, some companies may prohibit their employees from accepting client tips. If you want to show gratitude for a job well done, consider writing a review of your builder or contractor or agreeing to be a reference for potential new customers.</p></div>

Q: Should a new garage with an apartment be attached or detached from the home?

• <div><p>This is a matter of personal preference. However, building a detached structure is generally considered better if you intend to rent out the new space. The advantage to going with an attached garage addition is that you may pay less for plumbing, HVAC, and other features because you can use the existing systems from your home to carry over piping and wires.</p></div>
