One of the most rewarding home improvements I have in my house was built in addition to a garage. For years I contemplated building a garage addition while I scraped the ice and snow from my car and waited for her to warm up in the winter months. Over 5 years, I've finally got the decision to build a garage at my home.
To make the first major decision I had to, was built after the decision in addition to the garage to determine how large to make it. I wanted alarge enough to sit garage, two cars comfortably and that would be the right proportion with the rest of the house. I wanted to include also allow room for a workbench and make room for the lawn mowers and snowblowers. I decided to go wide for a 26-foot, 24-meter-deep garage. There was my house 36 feet in width, this gave me a garage that was about 2/5ths of the entire facade home.
I also had to ensure that the pitch would be the height of the garage andbe in line with the rest of the house.
Once these matters into account, I have some drawings of the garage, among other things: the foundation size, the location of the garage door, the maintenance door and windows, and the elevation profile of the roof. From these drawings I was able to discuss with a number of general contractor, to my garage and want to go home.
After selecting my general contractor, I generated some additional drawings, provided that allto draw down the necessary information, a building permit. Due to the specific contour of my property, my garage plans, with a bonus room that would reside above the garage. So I had additional drawings of the bonus room, interior walls, for example, doors, windows, closet and entrance and stairwell to / from the main house belong.
After the excavation and installation of the foundation of the design crew had the garage frame in about a week. ThreeWeeks later, I had built a completely enclosed garage, all exterior doors and windows and install the shingles on the roof.
From that point on, I took the electrical and insulation work, after signing up for these special permits.
After the insulation has been installed and approved, I called in the drywall contractor to install the drywall, and tape and mud. I just had to paint for them also apply one coat of primer and builders. It is worthwhile toMoney they have to do this.
I then finished the electric, installed the stair railing, interior doors and baseboard trim and the garage was nearly ready to move
The finishing touch was the installation of two garage door openers and a final application of paint in the bonus room.
The total cost for my garage addition was about $ 30,000. I was as high as $ 50,000 a note, but with a little sweat equity and I was able to negotiate a GET --Many of the garage at a reasonable price.
A couple of years have passed since I stood beside my garage finished and every winter when I see people from their cars in the driveways scraping, I am one of the best decisions I ever made recalls.
