How much to frame 14x20 garage?

[Mattilac]

I'm hot off the heels of framing my big garage (40x64) last summer, and now a friend is asking if I'd be interested in framing up a much smaller garage (14x20) for him. He already has the foundation and slab done. Apparently the contractors he's been working with have all gotten busy. We're in Boston.

What do you think a framer would charge for this? 14x20 one-bay garage, stick frame 2x6 / 16" O.C. with trusses dropped on top. Just the shell - no roofing or siding. Also, materials are already on site, so labor only.

Here's the plan:

What's your time worth? Youbshoukd be able to estimate how long it will take based on your previous work.

On Costco this morning.


Play with the buttons, and see what the price comes out to.

Here it is D-I-Y:



The difference is $3K. That's for a complete build, including sheathing and roof covering, doors/windows in.

I could put that up in one day with a competent helper and I'd bet you could too after building your shop. If you could get someone to come out for a single day, it would probably be 1-2k for two guys? Low end for cash, no insurance kind of stuff.
If it's really a friend, do you want to charge? I love doing builds like that and would be all over helping a buddy get it done

Did this friend help you build your garage or in other ways? Are they willing and able to help?
I'm all for helping friends but have a hard time converting that to $$$.
