How long does it take to build a garage?

Building a garage requires a timeline of six to eight weeks from the permit approval stage until final finishes are installed. This period covers obtaining permits, procuring materials, and the actual construction. Delays in material shipments, contractor scheduling, or permit processing can extend the build time. The overall project timeline is also influenced by the garage’s size and design complexity, such as whether you’re adding a living space.

How much does it cost to build a garage with a living space?

Building a garage with a living space, like a suite or apartment, costs $125 to $250 per square foot in addition to the cost of the garage. This adds another $60,000 to $270,000 to the total project cost and includes the design, enhanced finishes, specialized plumbing, and electrical work needed for a functional apartment or suite.

Are prefab garage kits worth it?

Prefab garage kits can be a cost-effective solution for basic storage needs, with prices ranging from $4,000 to $11,000 (excluding labor and permits). However, they may not add significant value to your home and might not last as long as a custom-built garage. For long-term value and durability, investing in a custom garage is the better choice.

What's the difference between a garage and a carport?

A garage is a fully enclosed structure with walls, a roof, and a locking door. It often includes electricity, insulation, plumbing, and HVAC. A garage offers secure, sheltered parking and can increase your home's value. A carport is a semi-open structure with a roof (and sometimes walls) that provides basic protection from the elements. However, it is less secure and has less impact on the value of the home.

What is the most popular flooring option for a garage?

Concrete flooring is the most popular option for a garage. It offers an extremely durable and low-maintenance surface that withstands the weight of vehicles and heavy items. Concrete provides a solid base for additional treatments and serves as an excellent foundation if homeowners choose to upgrade the appearance or convert the space for alternative uses.

"I got several proposals from different companies to address my basement flooding and foundation issues. Caleb, with Classic Home Advisors, was the best from the very beginning. He understood the issue and explained to me a few options available to me to address the issues with my basement flooding. The proposal was clear and indicated exactly what and how the work was going to be performed. It took 1 week from start to finish and throughout the execution of the project, I was kept informed of their progress. More important than everything, I already can tell that the repairs to my basement were successful. We have had 2 main rain events since they finished the work and the basement is dry. The foundation repairs looks solid. Iâ m extremely happy with the final outcome of my basement project. Classic Home Advisors did an outstanding job. I have no reservations in recommending them for any of your water proofing projects, or for that matter, any home improvement projects."
