I have a 3 car carport that already has a poured floor and a closed in roof. The size is 24 by 28 and the contractor just has to frame up the sides and 2 8 by 9 openings for the garage doors and then put 4 plain vynal standard windows and 2 entrance doors in and finish out with vynal siding. It will not be finished out inside. Is this price too high? |

I built for my client a 2 car 2 story garage totaling 1080 sq. feet during the summer of 2009.This is with a high end exterior finish of cedar 2x, cedar clapboards, cedar shingles on the gables and timber frame details. No interior finish. |

Cost me $5800 to pour the 4' deep frost wall and 5-in. thick reinforced concrete slab. Cost me ~$1,700 to excavate the foundation myself, saving approximately $1,300 from what the contractor wanted to charge me to dig the hole, just rented an excavator from United Rentals. Contractor is local and priced extremely fair with my garage (non-foundation/slab) costing me $22,000 for the whole thing. I added a 4-ft. high knee wall on the second floor to make the floor to ceiling height in the "bonus" room upstairs in the middle of the room about 11'6" for a real bonus space. |

In May '08 I started building a 34'x25' 3-car garage with finished floor above and an attached breezeway. There are some fancy customizations and "bump-outs" to make it look interesting. The only thing I have contracted out is the work for the foundation (17K) and the design (2K) and it will end up costing about 60K when I complete probably sometime next year. I would expect to have paid at least double if the entire thing were to be contracted out. |

Costs are down due to the slow down in building, great time to build a gargage though. A totally finished out 2 car garage, side workshop, insulated door and over 300 yards so earth moved, 30 yards of gravel and 4 foot sidewalk in the front. We also have a permit requirement of stuco siding or fire resistant siding which may add to the cost, but we are in a fire prone area in N.Cal. Less than 30 days from start to finish for construction, 1 week of rain delay. |

My garage was built in 1916 (at least half of it was-the other half was built later) and is falling deeper and deeper into the ground and is even starting to separate in one corner (we can see light). What should I do? Jack the house up and re-pour concrete? Brace the garage together somehow? |

I got a few quotes for my garage but I'm trying to not goto an architect... So I went to a place in brookfield, CT He quoted me 45,000 +/- for a 32x28 2 car garage, includes plans, 2 garage doors, and something like 4 windows...Unfinshed up stairs, (its a 1 story with loft, no dormers, barn style roof) so I now get a few est. for a foundation 14,000 (my friend is doing the escavation for a 400.00) is this anywhere near ball park? |

I am in the process of getting quotes for a 26 x 28 Garage (finished upstairs), a 8 x 10 breezeway, and a 10 x 16 deck. The quotes have been all over the place. From $90K to $156K. Any thoughts on what I should expect to pay? Thanks! |

Do your quotes include the concrete pad? |

I am obtaining quotes in NH to build a garage with a concrete floor. A two car garage 24x24 with no finish work on the inside. I have three quotes $20,000, $32,000 and $51,000. I'm not sure which contractor is actually "in the ballpark" since the numbers are so far apart. Any suggestions |
