I have a 26x26 garage with 9 foot ceilings. Is it possible to add a partial second level to an existing garage? What do I need to be concerned about?

Most standard construction should support a second floor. I'd be concerned if it was a very old garage built on just a slab, though. You're going to have to either run a beam down the center or use engineered lumber/joists to span the 26' with floor joists for the second floor.
