I've also already had a garage door company here. They didn't seem to have anything to add other than getting a structural engineer to look at it.

I'm in Buffalo Ny, I've had 4-5 ft of snow on the roof in the last couple years that I've been living here, so theres definitely some weight at times. The problem I see with the beam sitting on the new header is the clearance. I only have 92 inches from the floor to the bottom of the beam...

Yes that center beam is definitely structural. The turn buckel cable was used when they added onto the back of the garage I'm assuming. It's isn't tight at all, just hanging there. I bought the house 3 years ago as is. I have the amish coming to build my pole barn this spring, I can see if they...

My detached garage has a beam running front to back holding the ceiling joists. There is a 2-2x6 posts at each end holding it up. Therefore I have 2 small 8x7 garage doors. I'd like to put in one big door so my wife can park in there during winter. Currently she would need to fold a mirror in to...

Ya i plan on feeding them, or atleast offering. I think $15k is fair. I priced out a 20x30 3 years ago and it was $12k.

3 more estimates came in. $21k, $19k, $15k all from amish builders.

3 estimates so far $21k-$24k. Thats for the building, windows and man door. I thought I'd save some money going with the amish builders but they're the same price

I think I'm going pole barn. I'm waiting on estimates for a 24x36x14. A guy I talked to mentioned doing 14 ft walls and have a partial loft. Not a bad idea. Anything else that you did or wish you would've done? My plan is to get the building up. Windows, doors, concrete and electric done this...

Damn! Ya I'm currently waiting to hear back from the amish builders. I called 6 and left messages. 2 of the numbers were no longer the same people and 1 of them called back and said he doesnt build anymore. So im down to 3 estimates I'm waiting on. I was quoted $23k no doors/windows just the...

Did you have the amish build? Also rough estimate on just the building? No concrete, insulation or add-ons. I have to apply for a variance, we're allowed 1,000 sq ft of additional building if you have over 1.5 acres. I have a detached garage that is around 600sq so I need to pay $200 and apply...

Yes I believe they come standard with 4' spacing in my area due to snow load. Also i did read about the slab issues, I'll be doing a slab the size of the building.

I'm hoping to get my garage done this year. I'm in Buffalo Ny and I'm debating between a metal garage or pole barn. By metal I mean one of the kits that you can buy and have installed. I believe they use 2.5" tubing for framing. 24'x36'x12' one 10ft door, I man door and 5 windows. This will...
