24x30 steel building!!! how much was it????

[@HeyKnight]

What things would you suggest to look for or to consider for the next guy. Anything you regret & wish you had done or known before when you built yours? I’m getting ready and planning for a 30x30 workshop behind my house. 😊

[@wilsongarage9888]

@@HeyKnight I would say to look for something thay says it water tight/no gaps. My doors have a large gap at the top when they are closed. Not sure if that's just a roll up door thing or not. A window would be nice for a little daylight. However if you get lights not a huge deal. Then go as big as you can!!

Congrats on getting a garage. It's a long term goal of mine that I've been working on for a very long time lol.

me too! I’m saving up for the building & slab now

[@toxicgamer2835]

Honestly I’d recommend you get. Yourself a car lift so you can used the virtual area to store the dragsters and then have a open spot next to them to work on them or for another 2 vehicles

@@wilsongarage9888 yah one whole side for storage and another too work on the cars I’m sure your gonna need or already have a engine lift so you’ll need somewhere to keep it when working on the car and of course all the tools that come with working on cars, I’ve thought of my dream garage hundreds of times and I don’t even have a project car to put in it rn 🤣

[@kllrcoyote9438]

Nice building. I love our metal building. By far one of the best upgrades we made was adding the roll up garage door openers. Once you can get your electric finished it’s a super cheap but great upgrade.

[@wilsongarage9888]

I'll have to look into it. Its getting old lifting them up after unlocking it...

[@confidentlocal8600]

Wouldn't sectional doors be better overall?

[@christophergalicia9280]

Which roll up doors you get

[@christophergalicia9280]

Door opener

[@Redfiregtag]

23 grand for a garage slab just seems insane. Any more than 10 grand and im doing that shit myself. These contractors are just pulling numbers out their ass and seeing who pays.

[@wilsongarage9888]

It was unfortunate to have to pay that much. But im thankful to have the garage with floors instead of working on the gravel.

[@Redfiregtag]

@@wilsongarage9888 that's the truth, I currently have wood floors in my shop the a previous owner put in. I would love to rip it out and replace with concrete. But finding anyone to perform work at a decent price these day is impossible, so I guess I'll keep watching and learning on KZbin for a bit lol

[@WaltWW]

Thanks for the info. For perspective, I built a similar tube frame steel building 20'x20' in 2014 and the concrete (overbuilt to park a heavy vehicle on) 24" footer with 4x 3/4" rebar around perimeter and 12" cross beams inside 5" thick floor with 5/8" rebar 6" on center with a 10'x10' concrete approach and the entire cost was less than $3,000 and the metal building was $2,500 including roll up, walk door and two windows. Looks like I should have taken out a loan and built the bigger building I was planning on back then instead of waiting.

[@wilsongarage9888]

I'm telling ya the prices are insane. My concrete guy when he was bidding the job told me straight it's going to be expensive. I quoted a building in 2019 40x60 and it was the same price as my 24x30.... just the way it is unfortunately.

[@shannoninalaska]

Unfortunately everything is more expensive in Alaska so I could probably double the costs and be safe. Thanks for your video. I am looking at buying some land and want an insulated metal garage just about the same size.

[@dorian5392]

Hi Shannon. I could get you a quote if you were serious about buying a steel building. I work for a manufacturer and they ship to Alaska

[@mikezupancic2182]

Wow, nice garage, but damn that concrete cost is crazy. Id be so upset that id have to spend that much extra for plans for the permit. The company designing it should have everything computerized and should have been able to provide all that info.

[@wilsongarage9888]

I was told that engeinered plans are extra and that's what the county required.

[@wilsongarage9888]

South Carolinas frost line is 4in. Mine is 3 feet in missouri. That alone shot the price up of my install dramatically. Guess I need to move down south. 🤣🤣

Nice shop, I’m looking at building one now who did you use? Crazy they made you put a footing for a galvanized tube building I know that jacked up the cost.

[@wilsongarage9888]

Unfortunately things like forst line in my area being 3 feet down and the county having codes that required a footer but im confident that slab isn't going anywhere. I used eagle carports for the building. And a local guy in the Kansas city area for the concrete.

[@nebraskajeff6137]

@@wilsongarage9888 Did you check into Northwest Missouri Carports at all? Your building seems a bit pricey. The concrete is ridiculous. 18" footers to frost line for this tube metal building?

Nice thanks!

[@brandonward2619]

Thanks for sharing man! I hope things are going well for you. Would love to see a shop update video. Have you got electricity and a lift yet, lessons learned? I'm looking into building a shop 30 miles west of KCMO. I can't believe they made you pour 18" footers for a 2 car garage and that it cost $23k. That's gotta be a bs county or city code, no way it's like that in the boonies of MO. Are you in Jackson CO?

[@wilsongarage9888]

Thank you so much for watching. Not much of a update. Been pretty busy with other things. I can definitely make a video on the things I'm not too happy about with the shop. Yep county code bs, I am in clay. Would have never thought being out of city limits on acres and having yo have so many rules. Really put a damper on being able to finish the shop out to what I want because of the final price. But I'm happy to have something to put my vehicles in.

[@Julie_S-F]

I didn't catch the name of the garage company. If this was Eagle Carports, keep reading! 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? 🤔

[@FoxbodyJunkie]

Nice, I'm looking at a 24x30 myself. I'm a big mustang guy and can't help but ask. Would you ever consider selling the Mystichrome as a project/builder?

[@terrychavis3080]

Question. Did your concrete guy pour a 1 foot footer on the concrete. My concrete guys says we need a 1 foot footer for the building?

[@wilsongarage9888]

I live in Missouri so my permit required me to have a footer that when down to frost line. The footer was 18in wide and 3 feet deep all the way around the outside of the slab. I also got engineered plans with my building that gave me a minimum for concrete. Im not sure what your state/county requires or even what the building you are building requires.
