Think for some reason building a separate garage will always be less expensive. I've got some stupid restrictions since have a HOA & live on a golf course....so built a 30'x24' almost "L" shaped two story brick garage a few years back. It was about $35k. Seem to remember trying to extend my exisiting attached garage of about 35' long would be almost double. Also, I've found 10' ceilings work fine with lifts...anything higher seems to start to cost more. I couldn't do it here, but there are prefabed steel buildings & think you can get like a 50'x100' for under $20k.

Was in a similar situation last year. Lost two of the four garage spaces on the first level of our home after building a mother-in-law apt. Searched around and purchased a fixer upper 50x60 building one mile from the house. Erected a divider wall, rented out half the space and now have a free garage. Installed a 4-post lift and have ample room for the toys and some extra storage space. Let a few friends use the lift and they bring free beer ! It's turned out to be a fun place to hangout and a good investment.02 T
