option 1: i have been approved to build a garage but it has to be a single car due to our property lines and code. i can build and have been quoted on a 14x22 space for a cost of roughly $14500-$17k, this will allow for 1 car and some storage. to add a lift so i can store 2 cars the price will add about $3500 to above price listed

option 2: raise the ceiling in one of my garages to accommodate a lift at a cost of about $10-$12k, this will allow for a dual lift and raising the ceiling so i can store 2 more cars


option 1 will cost about $5-$8k more and may add value to my house if i decide to sell

option 2 will achieve the same thing but i will be about $4k-$5k to raise the ceiling that will add zero value but i can always take the dual lift with me

thoughts?

Which option adds more value to your home?

Whats where you would build the garage now? Would you miss it, or would it take away from the home in anyway?
