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: How long does garage epoxy last?

• <div><p>Your epoxy garage floors will last <b>two to 10 years</b>,<b> </b>depending on foot traffic and maintenance. Clean your floor regularly with a mop or a power washer using a diluted ammonia or degreaser solution. Use five ounces of ammonia per gallon of water or a half-cup of degreaser per gallon of water.</p><p>Also, sweep regularly, clean up any spills right away, and install mats in places where you expect the most foot traffic.</p></div>

Q: Is a garage considered living space?

• <div><p>In some cases, a detached garage can be considered extra living space, but you will need to gain permission and comply with your local building code. Depending on where you live, you may need permits for a variety of installations, including electrical work, plumbing, and structural work. Many homeowners make the mistake of converting a garage into a living space without acquiring permits, which can result in hefty fines and even the removal of your hard work. Furthermore, a detached garage doesn&rsquo;t add to the livable square footage of your home when it&rsquo;s time to sell.</p></div>

Q: Are prefab garages worth it?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s better to build a garage than buy and install a prefabricated one. You can save money by purchasing a prefabricated metal garage kit for between <b>$4,000 and $11,000</b>. However, this does not include the price of labor and permits, which can account for more than half of the project cost. Building a new garage over buying a prefab garage will add more value to your home and will last longer, so it&rsquo;s more cost-effective over time to build a new garage.</p></div>

Q: Do you need permission to convert your garage into an ADU?

• <div><p>Yes, you&rsquo;ll need to get building permits from your local municipality to convert your garage to an ADU. You can get the work covered under a remodeling or general construction permit, which can include permission to run or extend utilities to the space to make it legal. If you also plan on renting the space, you&rsquo;ll need to apply for a rental permit.</p></div>

Excellent! Our house was built 50 years ago and this company built the new garage with a style and materials that made the new construction look as if it had been built when the house was. They took time to build a quality structure with no short cuts. We are VERY pleased!
