FAQs: Costs to build a garage

"What is the price range per square foot?"
It depends on the type of garage. For typical RV garages, the cost can range between $45 and $60 per square foot. Pole buildings can be around half as expensive per square foot.

Further, 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 an RV garage, the price per square foot can be two or three times what it would be for a basic garage.

Further below, you can review some of the other details that influence pricing. Those include geological factors that are beyond your control - like soil & water run-off issues - to things that are easy for us to adjust in order to target a specific budget, like whether the interior will be unfinished or sheet-rocked.

Several options can be selected if you wish to keep the basic costs low. Besides reducing the size of the garage (or the angle of the roof), the most common option to reduce cost is an unfinished interior (exposed framing) in contrast to insulation, drywall, and even HVAC systems. Another obvious factor is the material of the exterior surface of the garage. If you have an HOA though, then you might not have as much flexibility.

What about the dimensions? We have had requests for RV garages that were not only deep but wide (like 40 feet wide up to 80 feet or more). On the other extreme, some people have a small or mid-sized motor home (rather than a 30 to 45 foot "class A" RV). If your motor home is under 20 feet in length, then you may just need a relatively normal garage, but with a ceiling that is slightly higher than usual.

When you contact our RV garage contractor through this site, it is best to let us know your top priorities, such as "curb appeal," keeping the budget modest, urgency of fast completion, or anything else. To request your consultation now, click contact your new RV garage contractor.

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 Georgia to construct an entire small pole building 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.
