One of the most common questions we get from our clients is “How much does it cost to build an attached garage?” This is a great question because it will help you determine if you can afford to build one and what size of an attached garage you need.
The best way to answer this question is to look at some examples of attached garages with rooms above them so that you can see what they cost in your area.
Here are some examples:
A 2 car attached garage with room above (1st photo) costs about $85 per square foot. This project was built in southern California and was 3,500 square feet. It included a workshop, storage area, bathroom and kitchenette (see 2nd photo).
A 3 car attached garage with room above (3rd photo) costs about $110 per square foot. This project was built in central California and was 4,000 square feet. It included a large workshop area and two bathrooms (see 4th photo).
A 4 car attached garage with room above (5th photo) costs about $125 per square foot. This project was built in southern California and was 5,300 square feet. It included two large workshops areas (one shown), two bathrooms, kitchenette and living space

Cost to Build a Garage
The cost to build a garage varies depending on the size, location and type of garage that you want to build. However, the average cost of building a two-car garage is about $35,000 for materials and labor.
The size of your garage will affect how much money it will cost. A two-car garage has about 1,500 square feet of floor space, while a three-car garage has about 2,500 square feet. If you want more than three-car garage, you can expect to pay more than $50,000 for materials and labor.
The location where you’re building your new garage also affects the price tag. For example, if you’re building in an urban area or rural area where land is scarce and expensive, then expect to pay more than if you were building in suburbia or rural America where land is plentiful and cheap.
Finally, if you have any special requirements for your new garage such as custom cabinets or flooring material then expect those costs to be added on top of what was already discussed above.
The average cost to build a garage is about $75 per square foot. This includes the cost of materials, labor and the building permit. The cost of the structure will vary depending on your geographic location and the size of the garage you want to build.
If you are planning on building an attached garage with a room above it, then you should expect to pay around $40 per square foot. This includes all costs associated with building an attached garage including materials, labor and any permits required by your local jurisdiction.
Materials:
The average cost to build a garage ranges from $24-$35 per square yard depending on what type of material you use (i.e., wood or steel). You should expect to pay more for wood because it is more expensive than steel or aluminum. However, if you go with steel or aluminum, then there is no need for insulation which will cut down on costs. The thickness of the material also affects price as well as other factors including whether or not it is treated for weather resistance and/or fireproofing (if needed).
Labor Cost:
The cost of labor varies depending on where you live and how much experience your crew has working with
How much does it cost to build a garage? The cost of building a garage can vary greatly depending on the size and amenities. Here’s how much you should expect to pay for a new garage.
Average cost of a garage
The average cost to build a garage is $35 per square foot, or $13,500 for a 1,000-square-foot garage, according to Remodeling magazine. If you’re looking for something more upscale, expect to pay closer to $100 per square foot (or $32,000 for that same 1,000-square-foot structure).
Cost breakdown
If you’re planning on adding on a second story and living space above your existing structure, expect construction costs to jump significantly. Adding a bedroom or bathroom typically adds about $30 per square foot to your project — so if you have an existing 1,000-square-foot detached garage that you want to convert into an apartment, expect it to cost around $30 per square foot just for construction alone (not including any additional furniture and fixtures).
The cost to build an attached garage and room above ranges from $5,000 to $50,000. The size of your project will depend on how many cars you want to park in it and how much space you want for storage. The average cost is about $15 per square foot or $19,500 for a 3-car garage with a loft and two bedrooms.
If you are looking for a professional to do the work, expect to pay between $20 and $60 per hour depending on the area where you live. In some cases, that cost can be higher if there is difficulty finding someone who has experience working with steel framing or structural engineering.
Building a garage can be expensive, but the cost depends on several factors. The size and style of your garage, whether it’s attached or detached, and your location all impact the price.
The average cost to build a two-car detached garage is between $20,000 and $45,000, while an attached two-car garage costs between $15,000 and $30,000. However, if you’re building a larger structure or renovating an existing structure, costs will be higher.
