Had a 24x25 done last fall, black & gray two tone. Paid extra for residential walk through & overhead door. Just under $10k all in. Did Blutex foam core reflective insulation & electrical myself, probably another $1500 in materials.
Yeah between permitting costs and the concrete being done by a family friends company and lots of other things the price would vary a lot but I didn’t mean to at least add the price of the building… I’ll be doing another video here in the next week or so on some interior stuff and I may just touch on pricing at the beginning…👍🏼
Prices are tuff states, counties and even manufactory are different but it would be nice. I'm here in NY having just had a 24x36x10 quoted thou EB Carports and metal buildings. The building was $15,441.58 the concrete quotes are coming back From $9,500.00 and up here in NY need engineered drawings for the concrete those quotes are coming back at $800.00 plus test pit quotes are coming in around $500. to $800 for the pit and building permit fees are based on the square footage.
I love that garage , I’m thinking about going metal myself, how’s it holding up, any complaints about the garage and are you still happy with it . Thanks
I suppose during the pour either the concrete by itself or the crew lifts the cantilevered drop-down forms to avoid a downward slope towards the building and subsequent ponding of water?
Do you get birds nesting up under the eave trim? Sure is nice to see those chalk lines. A big fear I have with getting one of these buildings is that I'll get the "B" team that just eyeballs everything. Looks like you got the A team!
No issues with birds… The doors are definitely decent quality and seem to be fine… And yes, one of the biggest things with all of these metal buildings is having a reliable reputable install team my guys were great
I love what you guys did, Great Set UP . We're doing the same thing here in Central Fl and I was wondering if you could tell me how many yards of concrete were used and the name of the company. Ty
Thanks… I want to say it was something like 13 yards maybe 14? The company was owned by a friend of mine and was done as a favor… They really normally only work on new home builds… If you plan on doing the drop down edge and garage door recesses I would just call around to concrete companies and make sure that they have crews that know how to do that👍🏼
How happy are you with the roll up door quality? When closed, is the seal good enough to keep stuff out? I'm getting advice from multiple folks to go with panel high rise tracks as a better option. thanks
For me personally I didn’t want to lose any of the extra ceiling height in my garage with the traditional garage door frames that hang out into the space At that 8 foot height of the door since I had 10 foot sidewalls in a 14 foot ceiling height… So the roll up works great for me when completely closed and locked the seal is good… On the sides however where the wheels roll up the track you have a little more gap/space for things to to get in if you don’t add an aftermarket barrier of some kind which they do sell but overall I’m happy with it… I just sealed everywhere I could
It was a crew I was referred to by a friend i don’t have the info anymore sorry, If you go with a local company just make sure they’re used to doing these types of notched edges on the slabs
The metal building purchased and installed not including concrete was just under $9000. This was about two years ago now… I believe nowadays, the same building would cost around 11,000.
I'm in the process of getting quotes and whatnot for a similar setup. I know you're in Florida (I'm in NC) How much was that foundation? That's my only real concern as far as budget goes.
I just grabbed a an aftermarket window and cut the old window out and replaced it and painted the door black myself… Thanks that’s not a shop sounds like it’s going to be awesome wish I had the space
With the high ceiling height I don’t really have any issues I’m in the process of insulating it and I’ll be using a radiant barrier which will get rid of that much more heat
I have a floating slab that is 24x24 exactly. How exact are the metal garages? I’m working my slab is not wide or long enough and the rails would hang over. Or can they cut to fit a little?
It’s pretty much exact I think they can do some minor adjustments just make sure the slab is square that’s the most important thing for the rails to line up
is there any chance you would send the plan to me, i would like to make it by myself and cat find anything similar. ps. im from slovenia so my englush is not that great.
Nice! I would recommend to the viewers that You hold-back at least 10% of the building cost until you are satisfied contractually with the building. Carolina Carports is terrible.
I’ve seen that in some of the reviews about that particular company… Big Buildings Direct was great to deal with it and they only required 20% down the rest after the building was up and complete
I'm in Va and I just did 24'25'x12' garage with a 12X21 lean-to. Mine was $14K for the building and the concrete was $10500 cause of my unlevel lot and had to have the back sitting on 5 rows of block. Stay away from Carolina Carports or at least hold that last check until u are happy. Im still fighting with them on several (8) fk ups after they said they were done. And if you go thru another company, make sure they not with CC. I went thru Millennium Buildings who pawned it all off on CC who had Jrs Garages & Buildings do the install. Too many hands touched this building but Im holding $6,151.37 check unil I'M happy. Whatever u do DONT PAY THAT LAST CHECK UNTIL YOU GO OVER WITH A FINE TOOTH COMB!! In fact I encourage anybody to mail the last check when u r happy, not while they there holding their hands out and saying they are done.
@@Jgirwarn They pawn the install out and the ones that did mine sucked azz. The whole left side of the roof the moron on top screwed right through the roof and didnt hit the supports. Not even close, I'm talking he hit half way between the supports. He didnt catch it till he did 2 whole rows like that. How do you go screw happy and not realize that is no resistance & why wasnt a chalk line made to help hit the supports? Then he tried to silicon it. Cause I said that wasnt acceptable they up and left to go do another job, told me another crew was on the way to fix it that day. The other crew was these same morons that showed up the next day and commenced to make 8 major screw ups that 2 weeks later hasnt been resolved. Im holding the last check of $6k+ until I get satisfaction. I suggest you do the same with no matter who u go with or you have no leverage on getting satisfaction. Good Luck.
The following comments are copy-paste from another video review of someone's Eagle Carports install that I posted. I think it's important for people to know what happens when you work with Eagle Carports. Stellar sales experience set us up with confidence... but buyer beware!!! We're currently in the in-between: our garage was erected, a shoddy job - many issues match this person's (in a different video I found) - but we also have other issues. I asked them what options we have. They said they'd send out the original crew to fix the problems. The photos and videos I sent to Eagle Carports were taken AFTER I had the original crew "fix" them, before they left the first time (in other words: don't send the same crew). So, Eagle Carports said they'll send a different crew. First date they were slated to come, I received a text saying they would be delayed til the next week. Then, it was pushed to Friday. Friday morning, they informed me they were running late. No one came Friday. HELLO SATURDAY MORNING AT 6:45AM (the ONE morning I can sleep in): Phone call, "I'm at your front gate." Um, what?! NO! There was no call yesterday preparing us for this, and it's Saturday morning at 6:45am! WTH?! To inform y'all of our issues: Again, same as this video, at least what I watched of it (admittedly didn't watch it all - I was rudely awakened by their fix-it guy so I'm up now and going to post my experience to save others from this experience). Other issues: our price point meant free matching hardware - we got silver (our garage is off-white/bone colored). All the edges (bottom and sides) had exposed insulation sticking out... really good wicking material to grow mold after 1 good rain. The crew didn't erect it per instructions: parts labeled for "back" were installed on the front, the garage doors didn't line up with the prefab brackets, so the crew made their own holes. Same dented-in overtightened screws. Really concerned about the roof construction after watching someone else's review showing it leaking- our interior is covered by the insulation, so we won't know how much it leaks until it's saturated (which will be too late: welcome, mold!) Of interest/note: our concrete slab was perfect BEFORE. Since the erection, there are cracks throughout the slab traversing end-to-end. We gave them the date of slab completion... We had asked about OPTIONS. They offered to fix it. Stung after the first crew (who also demanded us to feed them! Yes, we offered breakfast tacos as we did for our concrete contractors, but they came to our door asking for lunch, and THEN again DINNER! Thank goodness we had a frozen pizza) we hesitantly agreed. Now, this morning's rude awakening. Frankly, my husband would've been happier to accept $ off the bill, except that whatever we would do will void the warranty. Yeah, I'm starting to think that they only post the best reviews, and that they remove anything negative. Now I'm curious how many GOOD reviews are recent? Perhaps they're all pre-COVID? 🤔
Sorry to hear that… That was part of the reason I didn’t go with a company like eagle… I thought too many issues. I will say Big Buildings Direct here locally in Tampa was fantastic to work with. 👍🏼
If you go to my Instagram page there’s a folder at the top labeled garage that has all different types of interior shots The Heights Moto culture But once the interior is more complete I will upload another video
It’s going to vary in your area and construction/materials cost now as opposed to when I bought it a year ago… But the building and foundation/concrete was around 13,500$
The building with engineered drawings for my permits installed with the concrete foundation 15k But included none of the interior buildout electrical etc.
I used a friends company and unfortunately they don’t normally do small projects like this. It was a favor. If you’re going to do the ledge around the slab I would just call around and ask if they have the ability to accommodate
There’s a video breakdown with price in it that I posted… Giving some details… Unfortunately they’re pretty much worthless at this point because the prices are extremely high in comparison to two years ago I also had a friend in the concrete business so my foundation was at an extreme discount just under 13 K for my entire building
Had a 24x25 done last fall, black & gray two tone. Paid extra for residential walk through & overhead door. Just under $10k all in. Did Blutex foam core reflective insulation & electrical myself, probably another $1500 in materials.
Is there room for a loft area in yours?
Where did you purchase yours from?
Would be nice to add a cost breakdown in the future vids. I know prices vary from state to state. But would be cool to compare.

Excellent tip on the concrete lip.
FYI this video really help me out with the foresight to add that notched edge on the foundation slab
Glad to hear it
I love that garage , I’m thinking about going metal myself, how’s it holding up, any complaints about the garage and are you still happy with it . Thanks
Awesome video! Glad you are happy, and let us know when you are done with finishing it out so we can come take a look!!!!
Will do 👍🏼
Just purchased my 24x25. Looking forward to your upcoming vids
Trying build one exact size same doors may I ask how much I'm.in Georgia
Great video, love how you dropped the concrete prior. Was told that its common do drop the building then the concrete which sounds odd.
Yeah a lot of times with pole barn style buildings they’ll do that but doesn’t seem like it makes sense for the style frame up MetalBuilding
Sub'ed this is exactly the size ill be getting soon. looking forward to see the updates
I suppose during the pour either the concrete by itself or the crew lifts the cantilevered drop-down forms to avoid a downward slope towards the building and subsequent ponding of water?
Very nice
do you regret the black roof now that you've gone through a summer?
24x25 long enough to fit a Chevy silverado in it?
Yes it would only give you about 2 feet on each and to walk around but definitely would fit
Do you get birds nesting up under the eave trim? Sure is nice to see those chalk lines. A big fear I have with getting one of these buildings is that I'll get the "B" team that just eyeballs everything. Looks like you got the A team!
No issues with birds… The doors are definitely decent quality and seem to be fine… And yes, one of the biggest things with all of these metal buildings is having a reliable reputable install team my guys were great

Looks great man! Dude I'm jealous of the footersntou did... I had to to 2ft deep footers 😬 I'm in Virginia so deep frost line.

Waiting on county to approve my plans... how much was your concrete...I'm doing 24'×25'×10' with 12' lean-to
I was fortunate enough to have a friend of the family in the concrete business so I only paid around $2400

Love the concrete job these guys did. Can you provide contact info for them?
It was a crew I was referred to by a friend i don’t have the info anymore sorry, If you go with a local company just make sure they’re used to doing these types of notched edges on the slabs
@@The_Heights Thanks! I sure will.
What is the brand/manufacturer of your garage? Thanks!
Big buildings direct 👍🏼
How much was it to have it all installed for you?
The metal building purchased and installed not including concrete was just under $9000. This was about two years ago now… I believe nowadays, the same building would cost around 11,000.
Looking back do you regret not paying the $500-600 extra for the colored screws?
Not at all Majority of them are on a white building and it blends in for the most part in person hardly notice it
Where did you purchase your black pass through door?
It’s the standard door that comes with this building. I just changed the window.
I'm in the process of getting quotes and whatnot for a similar setup. I know you're in Florida (I'm in NC) How much was that foundation? That's my only real concern as far as budget goes.
I have a family friend in the concrete world so i got a deal, i paid around 2k
Great
Where did you find the replacement black door with window? Very nice garage by the way. I’m doing a 24x40.
I just grabbed a an aftermarket window and cut the old window out and replaced it and painted the door black myself… Thanks that’s not a shop sounds like it’s going to be awesome wish I had the space
@@The_Heights Awesome!!! Looks good! How’s the black roof? Does it get hot?
With the high ceiling height I don’t really have any issues I’m in the process of insulating it and I’ll be using a radiant barrier which will get rid of that much more heat
What did the metal building cost to set up and build
The building itself with engineer drawings and set up not including concrete foundation was around $8200
I'm in outside Raleigh, NC. Just ordered my Metal Garage, same measurements. Who did you use for the foundation and how much? Thanks!
Fortunately for me it was a friends company so I’m not a good reference for price mine was around 2500$ basically just paid for material
I'm in Raleigh as well. Who did you use? if you don't mind sharing.
@@S54VR6 I did it myself. Saved a ton of money.

Nice
Where did you get the metal garage?!?!?!?
The actual building itself is from
Big Buildings Direct
What company did you go through if you don't mind me asking?
Big Buildings Direct
Are you guys in Ottawa?
Me personally, I am in Florida… I think the company is also based here on the Florida as far as the building goes
What is the spacing of your doors?
How did you get the exact measurements for the notch out?
Great video! What company did you go through to purchase?
Thsnks ! I used Big Buildings Direct
How much was this with the food poured?
There’s a brief cost breakdown in my second video… I had a family friend pour the concrete at about half the price so it’s going to very
is there any chance you would send the plan to me, i would like to make it by myself and cat find anything similar. ps. im from slovenia so my englush is not that great.
I’m honestly not sure if I still have them… I’ll have to take a look…
@@The_Heights would be awesome if you find them thank you
What concrete is this
How much is this

How mach cost
for the building plus installation plus the concrete foundation, permits etc. around 12k
Hey where can I purchase this ?
Are used Big Buildings Direct. But it depends on if they are in your area

Why 25x24. Instead of 24x24
That’s what I originally was going for but the industry standard thats sort of built-in is 25 x 24’ so it’s cheaper to go with a pre-existing size
