Does upgrading a garage increase home value?

• <div><p>Yes, upgrading a garage can increase home value.

Converting your garage to a living space can provide significantly higher returns.</p></div>

Is it cheaper to buy or build garage shelves?

• <div><p>It’s much less expensive to build your own garage shelves, and you’ll still get stable, long-lasting, and sharp-looking shelves. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-do-garage-storage-systems-cost.htm">Garage storage systems cost</a> between <b>$615 and $2,635</b>, with the national average of about <b>$1,455</b>.

Does building up or building out provide more ROI?

• <div><p>Since building up tends to provide useful bedrooms and other extra spaces without the need to do a lot of foundation work and cut into your yard, second stories tend to have better ROI—up to 65%—than other kinds of additions. But ROI will depend on the type of rooms you are planning and what your current house has. It’s not a very reliable way to judge the success or failure of a project, so consider other factors as well. </p></div>

Q: Why hire a professional to build a garage?

• <div><p>Ensures adherence to local building codes and customized designs to fit personal needs.</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>

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!
