Read More »Adding a new room over the garage is a project that involves a number of construction features and structural changes to the property. Essentially, this addition functions in much the same way that any extension on the ground floor might, but involves added foundational requirements to support the increased weight on top of an existing portion of your home. The difference between a garage loft and a true, new room addition can change costs When building a new room over your garage, you'll have two primary options for the installation. Selecting the layout that best serves your needs will determine much of the scale that will go into the work, and as a result the price as well. Many homes are built with a good deal of added height in the garage; this allows a homeowner to take advantage of a loft-style addition. Alternatively, if your home already includes a partial second story then you might instead opt to expand the footprint of this upper section and introduce a true second floor room above the garage. A loft is a simple extension of the existing overhead space — which may or may not require lifting the ceiling. However, adding a second floor that extends over the garage will necessarily be a more intensive process. Shoring up the foundation is the first step in adding a new, raised section of living space Legal Eagle Contractors report that most single story foundations aren't strong enough to hold up the additional weight of a second floor installation. This is due to the fact that a one story home doesn't need the same kind of expensive and labor intensive structural support that other types of properties required during their initial build. A two-floor section of a property requires stronger foundational support to carry the increased weight of a second living space and the live loads that come along with this feature, as opposed to an attic that supports some boxes and the roof. As well, Legal Eagle Contractors lay out additional guidelines, primarily focusing on the need to reinforce upper-floor sections by creating both a cap of sorts on top of the existing story and building supports that reach down directly to the foundation itself. Angi estimates that foundation strengthening tasks will typically cost around $5,000.

Paint the Floor If you don't have a durable floor inside of your shed, you can improve the protection of the material you have chosen by applying floor paint. Floor paints are designed to protect your floor. With materials such as plywood flooring, they go a long way to help maintain the floor and can improve the look.
