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>

How Much Do Building Permits Cost?

• <div><p>The national average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-building-permit-cost.htm">cost of a building permit</a> is about <b>$1,600</b>, but this number includes extensive renovations. Homeowners typically spend between <b>$150</b> and <b>$2,000 </b>in general on one or multiple permits for their project. Conversely, permits for simple projects, such as minor electrical renovations, could cost as little as <b>$10</b>.</p></div>

Q: Should I pay a contractor 50% up front?

• <div><p>Contractors may require a down payment before they begin a project&mdash;especially for those that require a lot of materials. Check with your contractor to see how much they require up front before signing a contract, but they should not ask for more than 50%. Never pay in full before work begins.</p></div>

Q: How long does it typically take to build a garage?

• <div><p>Typically 2-4 weeks, depending on size and custom features included.</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>
