Frequently-Asked Questions
(about garage construction)

FAQs: Costs to build a garage

"What is the price range per square foot?"
Typically, many garages cost between $45 and $60 per square foot. As noted below, many details influence pricing (from geological factors - like soil & water run-off issues - to the choice of materials to be used, plus whether the interior will be unfinished or sheet-rocked).

On the low end, open carports as well as structures with sheet metal siding will be much less expensive. On the high end, when adding a second story apartment over a garage, the price per square foot can be two or three times what it would be for a basic garage.

"What is the average cost nationwide to have a garage built?"
According to Home Advisor, the nationwide average for paying a contractor to build a garage for you is just under $25,000, although a lot depends on the garage itself. For more details, scroll down and keep reading. To see a quick chart of the local price data for garage construction near San Antonio, click HERE.

One one extreme, detached 3-car garages with second-level lofts (barn-style) can cost at least as much as it would to build a guest house addition.To see a chart of several renovations along with the average cost (and average increase of future resale value), including garage additions with building expenses ranging up to $50,000 or even $80,000, click this link: garage additions.

"Why is there such a big range in the costs of garage construction?"
After considering the size of the garage (like 1-car, 2-car, RV, etc), the two basic factors in the construction cost will be cost of the materials and the cost of the labor. Of course, the labor costs can be different with different construction companies, unlike the cost of materials.

You may be interested in skimming an article on the minimum costs of materials for construction of a garage. For a detached one-car garage, material expenses generally start at $8500 (at least). For a detached two-car garage, it will be a few thousand dollars more than that.

Also, conversions of an existing carport in to a newly enclosed garage can cost less than half of that. To request a quote or estimate, click HERE.

If price is a major concern for you, let your estimator know. For some people, the biggest priority is matching the garage to the exact appearance of their home (from the roofing materials down to the lighting accessories). Other people tell us, "I just need it to be legal and functional."

FAQs: How long will it take?

"How fast can my garage be built?"
Briefly, the construction time can range from a several days to a few months. That does not count the time for design and permitting.

Naturally, small garage construction projects will take the least time. If there is already a concrete slab and you would like a common floor plan design, then documents can be prepared and approved for permits quickly. The entire construction process will be simple and fast, typically passing inspection by city officials with absolutely no complications or delays.

In some cases, it is possible for our garage builders in San Antonio to construct an entire small garage from the ground up in one weekend, although larger jobs will take a few weeks at a minimum. At one extreme, for large custom garage construction projects involving unusual building plans, just getting a building permit approved could take longer than it would take for the builders to complete a typical new garage. On the other extreme, building a metal garage can take less than an entire day.

Next is another simple issue that can affect how long the construction of the garage takes. If you select a popular model for your new garage doors and opener, then the garage builders can quickly obtain them and install them for you. In contrast, if you are selecting one of the least common models of garage door to be installed, then that may need to be special-ordered.

Many people value the assistance of an experienced garage builder to help them sort out the major options that are best for them, then quickly fill in the secondary details. If you have never considered details like whether you should get a garage door opener with a belt-drive or with a chain-drive, that is totally normal. We can help you prioritize the issues to quickly and easily select the options that you will continue to appreciate year after year.
