Which states allow shipping container homes to be built?

• <div><p>It is a good idea to check in with your local city and state regulations before committing to building a shipping container home no matter where you live. This concept is pretty new across the country, and many places won’t let you build one.</p><p>The International Code Council (ICC) offers <a href="https://codes.iccsafe.org/content/ICCG52019">guidelines for home builders</a> on the safe use of ISO intermodal shipping containers repurposed as building components, which can be helpful to review when planning or designing a shipping container home.</p><p> </p><p></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>

Q: Will a 20x20 garage fit 2 cars?

• <div><p>The smallest size a standard 2-car garage can be is 20 feet by 20 feet, so at these dimensions, you could reasonably expect to fit two cars inside. However, it&rsquo;s going to be a tight fit, especially if you have larger SUVs or pickup trucks. For smaller cars, 20 x 20 should be plenty for parking and some space to maneuver around the cars. A larger garage size would be better to ensure you have room to open the doors and transport groceries or other items around the cars.</p></div>

Q: What time of year is best to build a garage?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s usually best to build a garage in the summer or fall, with most homeowners preferring the fall. Winter might bring frozen ground that can make excavating and pouring a foundation a challenge, and spring tends to bring more rainfall, which can delay the building process. Most homeowners who DIY portions of their garage build prefer fall over summer, as the temperature is usually cooler and more conducive to the strenuous work required to build the structure. </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>
