Designing and Planning Your Own Garage
This article will give you great ideas on costs, building regulations, building inspectors, figuring out the size of your new garage and hiring a reputable, licensed contractor. A garage not only serves as a place to protect your car(s) from the elements, but somewhere to store tools, sports equipment, and boxes of junk that you just can't seem to part with. It can also provide a space to work on various projects - anything from pottery to potting plants to repairing and restoring cars. A garage addition can cost upwards of $15,000, and you can expect to get around a 40%-50% return on your investment on average in your area and the benefits will be things like improved lifestyle, recreational benefits, protection and safety for your car, a tax write-off if you use the space for a home office, and the cost savings of not having to move to another home. So with these garage planning ideas you should be on your way to starting this project professionally.
