A modern garage can do a lot of things, like protecting your car from the elements, storing surplus items, and even working as a home office. So, how much do you believe you should spend for all of that comfort?
The good news is that, depending on your needs, prefabricated garages can be very affordable, and they are an alternative for the great majority of property owners.
This article will go over the different types of modular garages and how much they cost on average.
How much should a prefabricated garage cost?
The size of the space, as well as additions like the number of windows and doors, are the primary determinants of prefab garage costs.
The cost of constructing a garage ranges from $35 to $60 per square foot. A one-car garage costs $7,500 to $14,200.
Meanwhile, a two-car garage costs $19,600 to $28,200, and a three-car garage costs $28,200 to $42,700.
In terms of property value, homeowners can anticipate an 80% return on their investment, depending on a variety of circumstances.
Garage accessories
You may also want to add accessories to your garage, depending on how you want to use it. Here are your options.
- Heating and Cooling Your Garage
If you want to spend time working in your garage, you can invest between $700 and $1,500 in all-in-one heating and cooling equipment, depending on the size of the space and the temperature you need to control.
- Workshop area
Carpenters make $75 per hour on average. You can add counter space or a garage workbench to your garage to make it more of a workshop. If you want a modest working area with a vice and power tools, carpenters can usually install them in 5 to 8 hours for $375–$600 in labor, with something more sophisticated taking twice as long.
- Running water
A plumber should be able to tap into your water supply and connect a faucet and hand basin and a shower for $1,100 to $3,000 depending on how distant the garage is from the water supply, what kind of fixtures you want, and whether you just want a functioning sink or a sink and a shower.
- Space and storage cabinets
You can acquire lower-end kitchen cabinets for roughly $55 at a big box hardware store and install them yourself, or you could pay a contractor up to $3,400 to do it for you. On the higher end, you may obtain a complete kit that includes tall cabinets, tool drawers, a lighted work area, and worktop, and ceiling cabinets to create a 9-piece cabinet system for garages.
