Opinion on Cost for Garage Extension? - themoon - 10-22-2015 Before I go out and start requesting quotes... about how much do you think this might cost me? Ballpark figure... Wanting to get an idea if this is closer to $15k or $50k. Because if it's the higher end I'm not even going to try. I want to extend the backside of my "3rd" garage to make it longer. I want to extend it about 14 feet. The width will remain the same at about 9 feet and the height is also 9 feet. •You would have to cut through the back of my current garage which is brick. There is nothing in this wall and it doesn't really support anything except a small section of the roof. • You would only have to create 2 new walls. (The 3rd wall is actually already the side of the house.) The "4th" would just be the opening you created. No doors needed. • The bottom 3 feet would have to be brick to match the house. (darn association) The rest of the height can be stucco hardi-board. • It would be typical shingles for the roof. • Foundation would be slab and I guess tied into the existing foundation. • No electrical, no insulation, no plumbing, no sheet-rock, no windows. So what do you think I'm about looking at? Re: Opinion on Cost for Garage Extension? - AUswimKC - 10-22-2015 Without finishes I can't imagine being more than $10k. That's 75$/ft2 Re: Opinion on Cost for Garage Extension? - JGrout - 10-22-2015 AUswimKC said: here it would be 90-100 IMO asking a question like this here is like requesting fresh peaches in January grown locally good luck with that Re: Opinion on Cost for Garage Extension? - fredhargis - 10-23-2015 While I agree the answers here will be probably be more reflective of some other area in the country, I can't imagine it being anywhere close to the range you've envisioned. Get the quotes, I think you will be (pleasantly) surprised, Re: Opinion on Cost for Garage Extension? - Admiral - 10-23-2015 thooks said: I can never imagine subjecting myself and my property to the whims of an HOA. I've moved a lot (7 times) for work and have always avoided them like the plague. Re: Opinion on Cost for Garage Extension? - themoon - 10-23-2015 I know I wouldn't get an accurate quote on here I just wanted to get an idea of a possible range I might be looking at. If it's under $15k I can do that. Just if you guys were telling me over $40K I wouldn't have even bothered. Thanks for the responses. Time to start calling some general contractors. Re: Opinion on Cost for Garage Extension? - GasGuzz - 10-23-2015 I’d do a design-build contractor, that way the package is all on them. Have a lawyer go over the contract, include/exclude language as required.
