Q: How much is an extension above the garage?

• <div><p>Due to space restrictions, some homeowners choose to build an above-garage extension. This second-floor area can be used for storage or living space, but it&rsquo;s more involved than your standard garage extension project. For example, you might need to pay for foundational or structural reinforcement if your current garage can&rsquo;t handle the extra load. Expect to pay $25,000 to $100,000 to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/adding-room-above-garage.htm">add a room above the garage</a>. </p></div>

Q: What projects require a building permit?

• <div><p>The requirement for building permits varies by location, but most building departments will require permits for any changes to the structural components of a home. They&rsquo;ll also require them for changes to the plumbing, electrical, and HVAC components, as well as any permanent improvements to the land, including concrete patios or foundations for additions or outbuildings. You also might need <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-you-need-a-permit-to-replace-a-roof.htm">permits for things like roof replacement</a> and window replacement, depending on your local government.</p></div>

Q: Is it less expensive to build your own garage?

• <div><p>Building your own garage can save up to 70% of the project cost, or <b>$10,500</b> on average. However, we don&rsquo;t advise a total DIY because it can be incredibly dangerous. You can save money by helping out with some aspects, like installing siding or building interior shelving, but you should at least leave planning, foundation work, framing, roofing, and any electrical or plumbing work to professionals.</p></div>

Q: Can you extend a garage forward?

• <div><p>You can extend a garage forward. However, the existing layout and the amount of depth you wish to add will determine how much effort and money the task will require. Considerations include moving the garage door and support structures, rebuilding or adding onto the roof, and extending the garage floor and sometimes the foundation underneath.</p></div>
