White paint on walls and ceiling while it’s empty, more lights than you think you need, then HVAC

I’m building an airplane in there along with parking normal daily drivers. Personally I hate “normal” size garage doors. 12’ per car is ideal for me as it’s the standard road width and extremely easy to whip in and out without being careful not to clip mirrors. As for what I decided on the...

I wouldn’t do less than an R9/10 even if your in a warm climate with no plans to heat or cool. Up north it’s probably still hard to justify the extra cost of a R18/19 unless you plan to heat/cool year round. Even then the better build quality of the door probably has to mean something to you...

What do you plan to use the garage for? Mainly parking cars, a personal workshop, run a repair business out of? Like most said you can never have to big, and for $1200 I’d go bigger. While planning mine I wanted the space to park 4 cars with room for a workbench and the usual garage tools...

Thanks all, I’m waiting to hear back quotes for some 45K and a 60K units. Since I have been convinced to just keep the garage at a consistent 50 degrees all winter long. I’d guess the 45k will be quieter? Any reason I should still consider a 60K model? Maybe since the door is 20x9 which...

So I got some quotes back for several different door brands with a few different R values. And want some input for if the more expensive higher R value door is worth it. It’s a new construction house with an attached 27’x42’ garage. With one 20’x9’ door. I’m in the twin city area of...

Thanks ripperd. After doing more research into full time heating that just sounds like a lot better all around without really costing to much more. -25 outside going from 50-70 in an hour don’t sound to bad either. Do you have a standard 80% ceiling hung model? If so that is sounding like...

Maybe I need to rethink the heat only when needed vs all winter long. Anyone want to chime in on their garage heating cost to keep it as a consistent 50 degrees?

I am thinking a 200K btu so I can blast it up to temp in a few minutes when I want to work out there. And just leave it off most of the time. The occasional time I want to keep the garage at a consistent temp it will most likely be only set at 50 degrees. I understand wanting a small heater...

I haven’t seen them but was told the Haas has the best weather sealing with actual gaskets between the panels. So it’s definitely in the running

We are building a new construction house with a 27’x42’ 4 car attached garage. Being in Minnesota it will have a heater. But what size is recommended? I will be building some kit airplanes in there which are multi year projects. So comfort is important. It will probably be a mix of leaving...

Hi all, we are having a custom house built with a 27’x42’ 4 car garage. The contractor quoted me what I think is high for the 20’x9’ door. They will let me shop around and provide/install it myself, or hire another company to install. What brands should I be looking at? This is an attached...
