Are prefabricated garages worth it?

• <div><p>A prefab, or prefabricated garage, requires far less construction work than one with a foundation and frame, but it’s not nearly as desirable and may not be a worthwhile option. A prefabricated garage won’t be as durable or long-lasting, and it doesn’t provide the same protection for your belongings and vehicles. Plus, you can use a standard garage for more uses—like living space—whereas a prefab garage only serves as a space for storage. Lastly, building a traditional garage will add to your home value, while a prefab garage usually won’t.</p></div>

Q: Is it less expensive to build a garage or buy a kit?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s typically less expensive to buy a garage-building kit than to build a garage from scratch if you&rsquo;re supplying all the labor. However, unless you are an experienced builder, you will still need to hire pros to install the foundation, concrete floor, and add electrical and plumbing to your garage kit. In that case, it&rsquo;s worth the investment to build a garage through a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/garage-builders/">local garage builder</a> who can coordinate the hiring of other necessary pros.</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>

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: Is it possible to finance new construction?

• <div><p>Yes, there are a few different ways you can finance new construction. Some lenders offer new construction loans that cover the building costs and then convert to a standard mortgage once construction is complete. Some custom homebuilders also offer financing options that only require a down payment before you begin the building process. Construction loans are possible, as well, although they typically only cover the building process, and you&rsquo;ll need to pay in full once the house is completed.</p></div>
