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: Can I convert my garage into an ADU?

• <div><p>You can convert your garage into an ADU. You&rsquo;ll need to follow local building codes to ensure your new unit is up to code. For the most part, building an ADU in an existing building is more affordable than building a new one. Even so, consider the condition of your garage before making a decision. Not all garages are in shape for a smooth conversion to an ADU, and renovations can add up in cost.</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 home projects do construction managers do?

• <div><p>In addition to overseeing new home builds, construction managers work on <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/renovate-vs-remodel.htm">large renovations and major remodels</a>. For example, they may work with designers and oversee the construction of a finished basement, kitchen renovation, or a home addition. They may also oversee large-scale remodels, such as the update of a historic home. Construction managers step into small projects for more specific assistance, such as building budgets and compiling the team.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to hire a hardscape contractor?

• <div><p>In most cases, the cost of hiring a hardscape contractor is a worthwhile investment. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-can-hardscaping-benefit-my-lawn-and-landscape.htm">Hardscaping projects</a> can get quite expensive, but they improve the utility of your yard, boost your curb appeal, and usually improve the value of your home. Patios, decks, retaining walls, and other components are challenging to install, and mistakes can be costly. Hiring a hardscape professional is usually the best course of action when it comes to these types of projects.</p></div>
