We sold our house and are about to close on our next home that sits on five acres with an attached 2 car. First project is to finish the basement so the kids have a hangout area, and then the next project will be a nice detached work area for me, hopefully with a 2 post at some point. I've done a bit of research and the pricing seems to fluctuate pretty wildly. Any recommendations/experiences on what company or contractor to use? What about the kits you see like Versatube, or prefab? I'm not looking for anything fancy, just an additional 2-4 car setup.

I am in the same boat. I have got a few quotes from builders. I think I am going to custom build one with menards and order during the 11% rebate. 40x60 with 12 ft high walls 2 16x10 garage doors, one man door, 2 windows, 1' overhang on all sides is around 11k. Find some amish to install for 3k.

 

Add in concrete and electric.

jesus rob can you guys make up your mind on a home lol you just moved a few years ago!

Haha, it's been 6 or 7 years man! I think we have found "home" though. It's just a bit north of where we were, but no more neighborhood BS. Woot.

Not sure where he got the Kit, but my Dad just did this, including the Amish! :lol:

 

All said and done, he has ~ $20k in it. That included the building, poured concrete floor, insulation, interior walls, wiring and lights, and the Labor to have the building constructed.

 

:thumbup:

Not really, but better quality.

No, they are cheaper... they provide materials and labor, they will haggle price with you and are MUCH cheaper... I had them build my garage for me and saved thousands compared to the closest quote... You just have to be willing to haggle. Think of them as a used car salesman with "no phone" even though they all have phones they just put it in their drivers name.
