Turn 2 car into a 3 car

[ned911]

Has anyone added a bay to their existing garage?

The new house has a 22x26 with enough space to add another bay. Wondering what the costs on this would be? Safe to assume $50/sqft or something different with the tear down of a brick wall then adding same brick color.

I'm also curious about this, and if anyone here has done it, what issues they ran into and if there is any advise they could offer.

My house sounds similar to yours, thankfully the roof line on the garage would easily allow the addition of another bay (trusses span front to back, can easily build out to the side), but I'm curious about issues such as adding another slab, matching brick, merging in electrical, etc etc. I already know of several issues that I will face if/when I do this, most of them involving moving the electrical service and the cable lines, along with the control lines (and possible some water lines) for the irrigation system.

I did it and posted pics here 5 years ago. I took out the entire back wall and added another 2 car in the back, making it one very long garage but still 2 car by city rules/codes since only the cars in the front are counted. I had issues with codes and regs but nothing complicated during construction. The concrete guys matched the height of the 2 slabs nearly perfectly and I didn't worry about matching outside material, the front half is stucco since its seen from the street and matches the house, the back half is siding and I think looks better.
