Installing a brand new two-car garage on a property can cost the consumer several thousand dollars. A professional garage installation can cost between $35 and $45 per square foot as of 2010. Having professionals install a two-car garage can run upward of $20,000. A deluxe, top-of-the-line two-car garage with storage, workspace and cabinetry can cost more than $50,000.
Installing premium siding like brick can greatly increase the price tag of a garage installation project. Fitting the garage with durable, high-quality doors and an automatic garage door opener will also increase costs. Extensive shelving, cabinetry and storage contribute to high installation costs.
Handy homeowners may choose to build their own two-car garage. Pre-made garage designs are available at most home improvement stores. The project may require an extra set of hands to complete in a timely manner. However, homeowners that build the garage themselves can save thousands of dollars in labor costs. Employing low-cost vinyl siding and garage doors is another way to lower the cost of a two-car garage installation project.
