- Are you thinking of building a garage but don't know how much it will cost? In this video, I'll show you my costs of building a garage along with each step.
By the end of this video, you should have a better understanding of what is involved in the entire process. I go over some of the options I chose so you'll know how that impacts the cost. Hopefully this will help you to be able to make an educated decision about the best way to build your garage and the costs involved!
I built a 24’x40’x12’ carport/shop in 2018. 24’x20’ enclosed, 24’x20’ open on three sides. 10’x8’ door & a 3’ walk through door. I paid someone to do the chert pad, and someone to pour & finish the concrete floor. I did everything else myself, including the building layout, setting the 6x6 posts, and the forming for the concrete, and all the electrical work. It has the bubble wrap insulation under the roof metal, house wrap under the exterior wall metal, and the exterior walls aren’t insulated. It took me three months from start to finish. My father in law helped up to the point the roof was covered. I did the rest on my own. I spent $15,500 in total. I’d hate to know what the same project would cost today.
Awesome you were able to do all that work yourself. With my work schedule it would have taken 3 years instead of 3 months! Great price too you saved a ton of money doing it before 2020 which I’m sure would be double the cost at least now. Thanks for checking out the video!
I had a 30x40x14 w/ 10x30 porch closed in on 2 sides building built. They just got done Nov. 5th. For the site prep, building, concrete, 2 -10x10 insulated doors, 1 man door, spouting, & snowbirds. 3' aprin and porch poured as well. My price was $55,477. I'm taking care of the electrical myself and finishing the inside.
Nice size garage you just had built. Congrats! Lots of work ahead but the best part is now done it sounds. These buildings aren’t cheap and I appreciate you sharing and checking out my video!
What states are you guys in?
PA
Where at in PA ? I’m in Western Pennsylvania

Nice job in itemizing the costs. I think this video will be very helpful to a person considering building an out building. I see “what does it cost” type questions asked all the time on the forums and other social media pages.
Appreciate the positive comment. Everyone always wants to know numbers but some folks like to keep it a secret it seems. I’d rather be as informed as possible so no surprises. Thanks for checking out the video!
👍👍👍👍👍👌Very detailed and in depth explanations thank you so much for sharing, very organized and well planned, and executed!!!
Glad I could relay my experience. I learned so much through the process myself. Appreciate the comment and thanks for watching!
Looks awesome! Thank you for providing the details!
Appreciate it! Thanks for checking out the video!!
Thanks for the honesty on detail prices. most videos don't want to mention prices. but me like most average person has no idea on constructions / concrete & like to just get rough idea how to price each / individual parts of constructions. of course, prices are due to demands of work / locations / states / etc. AAA+++
Appreciate your positive comment! I know it was an eye opening experience for me and hopefully it helps others who are trying to come up with a budget.
I thoroughly enjoyed your cost breakdown of your new garage!
Well done!
I greatly appreciate the positive comment. Glad I could share my experience. Thanks for watching!
Thank you Joe for the detailed share I think your final cost is very reasonable. I hope your future garage investments are what my experience was when I had my garage built "a satisfying journey"
Appreciate the comment! A journey indeed and yes now that I’m getting some use out of it I’m very happy with the results.
thats crazy. i just built a 30x70x16 with concrete for 35000. i paid a local builder.
You got a great deal. Hopefully builders are slowing down and more start dropping there price too. Thanks for checking out the video!
Yeah I got mine around the Same I can’t believe what he paid
You did things right we learn as we go in life in time you will look back and see and glad you did it . Material is very expensive now but in the end you have a nice building . 😊
Thanks so much for the positive comment! I’ll definitely the space for many years to come.
Interesting, thanks for sharing!
Appreciate the comment and thanks for watching!
Good info. Thanks for the share.
Thanks for checking out the video!
Enjoyed that. Thanks
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for checking out the video.
Also depends on how you source materials. ive done some Earthen walls and if you have decient overhang and be mindful of drainage it really is a sweet way to cut down on lumber and siding by using bricks and just raw dirt and drywall. Also i have in my garage a drainage channel for power washing so IF the walls within the next 30 years started leaking it would go directly into the channels running out to a retention pond i got a filter setup to protect well water from oil and soup i wash out. But ive taken out the drywalls to check and its totally dry after 3 years. Had some bugs trying to work in so i tried torching some clay soil between the sandy dirt and the drywall. That may be pointless i dunno yet, but dirt walls are under rated.
We had 30x40x12 pole building built this past summer original cost of shell was 24,000. Without concrete,no doors,no windows,no,lean to porch only ceiling vapor barrier.after all extras added we settled at 48,000. I installed 100 amp service maby it cost me 1500. Amish built phenomenal job very pleased they also poured 6 " in main with picture frame insulation and tyvek wrap around walls.also in iur county they required a lines and grads plan by survey company that was 1,800.
Thanks for sharing! Sounds like a great building and similar cost per sq ft. You’ll get plenty of use out of it I’m sure. Thanks for checking out the video!
My garage build is in progress(SE Ohio) it's a 24x36x15, 8x24 loft, all metal with wainscoting a 20x24 pad out front and a 120' long driveway. They're doing everything dirt work included plus no access for a concrete truck $49k didn't seem too bad to me.
Sounds like you’ll have a nice garage when it’s done! Enjoy it as you’ve worked hard for it. Thanks for checking out the video!
Hiring all this stuff out really adds up!
It sure can! I did save a lot doing what I can and especially the inside I’m in the process of finishing myself.
I built just before everything went up luckily. 30x72x14 with 6inch concrete. So to build , concrete and wire 200amp service. Total was 31,000. But I did everything except the concrete pour though I did put it on grade for them.
I wish I could have built sooner but didn’t have the land to do it until more recently. Great price on yours! Wish I had the time and help to do more myself to save some $. Appreciate the comment!
Excellent video my friend, thank you for the details. Considering doing the same thing when we move to Kentucky. Quick question though is how long is your travel trailer? I have a 30 foot and I’m trying to gauge the length of the garage that I should have so it’s comfortable and roomy. We plan on living in the garage temporarily in the trailer until the rest of the house is built.
Appreciate you checking out the video. Our travel trailer is 34’ 5” from tongue to rear bumper. I now have a small storage loft in the rear and still have room to park a car in the rear and fit the camper fully inside.
@@journeys-with-joeWould the camper have fit inside a 12' tall building with 10' garage doors?
Our camper is 10’ 3” to top of it the AC so a 12’ door is needed. Almost every travel trailer I’ve looked at is less then 12’ but when you get to 5th wheels then you have to have a 14’ door.
My 36 x 42 x 14 Miracle Truss garage back in 2002 cost 60K with metal roof, Hardi Plank sides, 5" reinforced concrete floor and metal roof with two 10 x 10 roll up metal doors.
Cost has definitely increased over the years. I appreciate you sharing and hope you’ve had many years of enjoyment with your garage with many more to come. That is really what makes it all worthwhile.
Awsome building. Way more than I will be spending on my shop.... maybe
Thanks appreciate the comment. It all adds up to a lot more than you think. Good luck on yours!
In May of 23, i got a price for 40x40 6in slab at 30 to 35k without site prep. Or drainage. Im looking at 100k plus, for a 40x40x14. I lve in nothern vermont. Biggest issue i have, is no one wants to work. One popular builder up here, never returned my phone or email inquiry. Most seem to be all backed up, cant keep employees,ect. I was told there is a waiting list for concrete to. Kinda frustrating. Its Dec 2023. See what happens next year. Nice building you have there. Looks great.
Wow prices do vary by location. Keep at it and you’ll find the right contractor. It took me 6 months of searching before I found someone that would respond to my questions and not just give me a general quote. Appreciate the comment!
That’s only like 6k in material. Might wanna just pay some buddies well and do it yourself
same situation here in Oregon no one wants to do hard work these days. I will end up doing my pole barn myself with some help with family.
Good breakdown. Thanks for sharing. Any reason you went so far away form the house? Seems like it wouldve saved a bunch if it were closer.
The layout of our house lot is much deeper than wider which is probably the main reason. Also gives me much more room to maneuver our 35’ camper or any other trailer really. Your right though would have saved some being closer but overall cost wasn’t much more. Thanks for checking out the video!
Your right at $50/sqft. Not bad at all! I'm building a 32 x 40 and hoping to finish under $100/sqft, but its also in California and will be stick built.
Yeah prices are much different in other parts of the country for sure! Wishing you the best as you begin yours. That’s a great size and a stick built is definitely a great choice especially if you plan on insulating later. Appreciate your comment!
The county I live in you don't need permits and can build what ever you want. My neighbor that lives around 100 yards away build a two-story barndominium with a four story tower with a observation deck they use for a telescope. Of course the power and septic companies had to hook him up.
They are in the process of building a detached detached garage.
Yeah I can see both sides. Great to not have to deal with all the permits but then you have crazy neighbors that do whatever they want unfortunately. Appreciate the comment!
Great breakdown. I’m building mine right now, 48 x 60. Doing it all myself except the grading and concrete so I’m hoping to finish it for under $30k. The dirt work cost me $8k, $13k for the concrete work, and I’m guessing about $5k for the roofing metal. I own a sawmill so the lumber is free!
That’s a good size garage you’re working on. Always a hard decision when it comes to time vs $$. I never seem to have enough of either I guess. Best of luck in your build! You’ll love all the space when you’re done.
Ok younsaid 13k for a 48x60 concrete pad? Or you just mean footings?
No way you poured 48x60 concrete for 13k.
@@mrpush2532 why not? $7,700 for the concrete and $5,760 to pour and finish.
Of course he can. I can pour 1,500 sq ft for 5K or under total (do dirt work/forms myself) and hire a couple guys to help me spread/finish it. Rock costs nothing. Really, it's just boards/rebar.
@@TheGuruStud get a couple of guys to help,hope they know what there doing,concrete is a permanent eye sore if you "f" it up and then your stuck with it,i will hire a concrete pro if it was mine.
IMO the dripstop is worth every penny way better than having it "rain" when your inside your shop.
100% agree. Should be standard on metal roofs unless you know your going to spray foam. Appreciate you checking out it the video!
I'm just looking into all this myself. I'm looking to put up a 30WX24 long garage(just how it fits on my property).
I've gotten quotes from different people, but I'm in over my head. I see all these pre-fabricated metal garages that seem to be really good prices, but I don't know which to go with. A traditional wood garage or a company like Big Buildings or Morton...or whoever.
I'd like to get the project done for ~35K with the concrete, electric, insulation, etc...I also would like a little drainage.
It can definitely be overwhelming with all the decisions to make. Take it a step at a time and be sure to get estimates up front on excavation as that can be a big surprise before you really even get started.
I’m not a fan of the metal tube building myself they can be harder to finish out the interior later. Post frame was perfect for me as it wasn’t the most expensive and being all wood framing very easy to work with inside.
Best of luck on your journey building out yours! It’s all worth it when it’s done. Thanks for checking out the video!
35k all in is not going to happen for a built building. Sure you can get pre fabbed kit but you get what you pay for
@@justanbaker8937 No, it'll be about 40K before the bathroom.
But I got the site ready, the trees cut and then had people I know do the excavation and concrete, then helped build it with a friend with a GC overseeing it.
@@journeys-with-joe I'm lucky to have family next door that owns a large excavating company. So I cut the trees down, burned the stumps enough that they weren't a big deal(drilled some holes and poured Kerosene in there and let them burn for a few days).
Then had a friend do the cement.
It's been going pretty well. Ended up going 34x26. Wood is ~18K. Lots of other small costs, but I'm lucky to have help from people I trust each step of the way(and I'm not in a hurry).
Got the cement poured, the walls up, got a drain and plumbing in...as well as electrical.
The only decision left is if I put solar on the roof. I think I'm going to. That'll take me well over, but should be worth it.
@@scourge8097 sounds like you’re making great progress. Definitely good to have friends and family that can help out. Solar is a good choice if it’s too cost prohibitive to run power from a nearby source. I considered it in the beginning on mine but with our winter cloudy days and spring even I’m glad I was talked out of it. Never have to worry about what or when I use power. Everyone has a different situation though. Thanks for the update!
Have you figured out the materials costs vs the labor costs (Maybe I missed this)? Labor is usually 3 times the material costs or more depending on the job. So if your building costs 70K the material costs may have been around 23k-30k. Just as an example, I built a very similar sized building in 1992 but based on the photos of your building mine was built heavier, i.e. 2x6 over 2x8 trusses, 2x6 girts etc. My total costs in 1992 was $10,500 (all material cost). Today the material cots would be around $22,500 due to inflation, maybe more.
I did price a few pole barn packages for materials only figuring I could attempt to build myself or find a builder to do it knowing I’m purchasing all supplies. What I found was labor cost for the builder I went with was only around 25% of the material cost. No where near 2 or 3x fortunately. If you figure these guys are putting up a building my size every 4 days or so even at 25% they make some good money. Since you mentioned trusses they are engineered and stamped and I confirmed the bottom chord dead load would easily support a ceiling with blown insulation as well as the rated snow load rating for my area so no need to pay for anything beyond that in my opinion. Spacing of girts with steel also have the specifications required for wind ratings in my area too. All great questions when you’re building a new pole building.
Haas door is local for you? Where you located? Nw Ohio here. Cool channel nice video
We have a few Haas dealers in my area. NE Ohio so not too far from you. Appreciate you checking out the video!
nice place and breakdown.i just can never wrap my head around how people think that they need 6 -12" of concrete to put up a hoist...no need and is a complete waste.I really dont care,and its everyone's own business.Im a mechanic,and my work hoist is installed into 60 plus year old 4" concrete and have never even come close to a problem.i built a new shop and 4" is used throughout..unless you putting a dump truck in or an excavator,no need for anything more but thats just me
Appreciate the compliment on the building. I do agree I have some overkill in the concrete. I guess some of my worry is when they pour do you always get a full 4”. No way they can get it that exact everywhere. By doing the extra I know I have enough. In the end the additional cost was minimal for me.
@@journeys-with-joe yep,to each his own.I built my 44x36x12 shop 4 years ago.mine is all done to the tune of $90-100k in it!that is a stick built unit with steel on the inside,bathroom,trench drain,heated floor,etc...that is with NO equipment included like my hoist etc,just the shop put up and closed in was $70k so i added another $20-30k in completing the inside.everything is expensive but glad i have it and its done..
Keep an eye out for leaks in the roof if the screws are in the ribs, Because I helped build a warehouse that they did that and it leaked like crazy.
Definitely a good tip. What I’ve found is some contractors don’t use long enough screws in the ribs that causes most of the issues. Mine are in the flats but I’m still leery that not every screw was put in perfect. Thanks for watching!
Do you have one piece screws or two piece. Did the sealing part fail on screws. Just asking because we have building that's about 35yrs. and still no problem.
That 100 amp service was definitely a little expensive. The rest sounded reasonable.
Yeah it was about 50% labor when I totaled all the materials but well worth it since that included the trenching as well. Thanks for checking out the video!
Beautiful garage tho!
Where did you get the crushed concrete?
My local excavation company hauls material so he got it all for me. If you have a way to haul it it’s much cheaper to buy from the places that crush it but it was very convenient to have it dumped and then I just spread it when I got off work in the evenings which saved a ton of time.
Holy crap 83k for a pole barn? That's ridiculous. Could've built it yourself for alot less
The labor cost for the shell of the building were only around 25%. Material costs are not what they used to be unfortunately. Thanks for checking out the video!
Just built a 60x80 the doors are not on yet the shell was 79,450
Where? Self build or contractor? Thanks in advance!
Wow that’s a big garage!! That doesn’t sound bad at all based on the size of your building. Thanks for checking out the video!
City and county nickel and dime you ....of course
Yes they do and now an increase in my property taxes because of the garage value. It never ends.
The government has to get their 2 cents in
Yes they do unfortunately. Not to mention the property tax you pay on something you own in full. Crazy society we live in.
That's a big price for a garage even one that big.. Like I always say you want a bigger garage then buy a house with a bigger garage.
Everything is expensive these days including houses with big garages. Thanks for checking out the video!
What is the size of the garage?
34x50 not including the porch.
Where are you located and what contractor did you use
NE Ohio. The contractor for the shell of the building was out of Dundee, OH.
What state is that in
I’m in the NE Ohio area.
So it would be close to the same price by me then in new York
@@mikemuniak4711 Not really. Material and labor costs can fluctuate a lot even in the same local area. For instance, my inlaw bought 20 tons of crushed concrete for $750, I later found a local company that recycles their own concrete for $400 per 20-ton crushed concrete delivered. You really have to shop around on both materials and labor and then be prepared to act fast because those prices can change next week and odds are it won't be cheaper.
For labor, my advice is to go to the job they're currently working on and look around at the construction site, If it's littered with trash like old drink bottles and fast food wrappers, that is a reflection of the quality of work they do, it's trash. A professional contractor will keep their work area clean at the end of the day. I know it sounds petty but trust me, in all seriousness, a dirty contractor does low-quality construction work.
that garage its bigger than my dojo :S
Thanks for checking out the video!
It will only go up…
Yes, you’re absolutely correct. Thanks for watching!
$7,500 of that concrete cost was labor.
I agree good labor isn’t cheap. Well worth the cost to have it done right! Thanks for checking out the video!
@@journeys-with-joe Well, to be honest, concrete finishing does require skill and a lot of people working at the same time but only because it dries so fast. If it was something like plumbing or electrical it could be DIY even If it took a year to do.
Where do you live? It sounds like you are living in a police state. With those permits and costs. A HEALTH DEPARTMENT PERMIT?
NE Ohio. Pretty common for most areas around here to have a permit process. The health department was due to having a well and septic they make sure the building won’t cause issues with either. Thanks for checking out the video!
I was thinking the same thing! All those permits to build on your own property is nuts!
Damn you got absolutely hosed thanks Biden
Lots of money to have anything nice these days for sure. Thanks for checking out the video.
Oh no.we got a Trumper in the audience
So the building isn't sitting on concrete? What are you thinking? Should of done an Alaskan slab with a 12" footer.
Embedded column foundation is the most common build practice in my area. It has the highest wind strength and will outlast me so that’s all I need. Appreciate the comment and thanks for watching.
