Garage building services FAQs

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. 

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.

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.

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.

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.
