Do you have an 84 Lumber near you. If you do, you might get a good idea from the prices of their garage kits.

You have really not given us enough information to give you a good answer. But I would guess materials would be around $3800 depending on a bunch of things. This does not include concrete or footings which alone will probably run around $4000.

Garage remodelling

on Jan 21, 2002

Hi, I'm a stay at home mom, with alot of time on my hands. I love kids and would like to remodel my garage into a home day care. State regulations require that I have two exits, and I want two windows; one in my office and one in the kids room, is that structurally possible?

Garage Roof

on Jan 25, 2002

I have an old garage with tin siding and roof on rusted metal trusses. I want to tear it down to the slab and rebuild. The slab (excellent condition) is 31x31, with concrete footers extending 1 foot above slab level. I need ideas on roof construction. Seems like a 31' span will be tough to do with rafters - will this be possible, or am I stuck with trusses? Would this be a standard width for a truss, or am I looking at custom work? Do I place rafters or trusses on 24" centers? What kind of costs am I looking at? Where do I buy trusses, if that's my only choice?
