24 X 40 Garage Plans – This is actually a 24×44 garage with a 24×40 floor plan with an extra 2 feet between the doors.
How much would it cost to build a 24×40 (4) four car garage with two 16×7 foot overhead doors, a 36 inch pass-through door, and a 3×3 window?

Can you afford it? This is an important question to answer before you decide to start building.

This materials list and cost estimate does not include sales tax, painting costs, or other necessary items or tools that you may need but do not yet have.
Print the cost estimation worksheet and take it to your local hardware store to calculate the cost of building a 24×40 four (4) car garage using my garage plans.
The garage is large enough for two 16-foot overhead doors, making it a 4-car garage.
This list of materials assumes that the front door and window are on the same wall. Any wall you put them on is the same.

Of course, you can add more doors and windows. They are cheap compared to the total cost of the garage.
2. Sometimes the wood needs to be sorted and sealed. Consult your building department before purchasing materials.
3. Top boards may be any length as long as their joints are not closer than 48 inches.
4. If you plan to install drywall later, use double angle braces. This will give you some block for the nail.

5. I suggest using 1/2-5/8 in x 4ft x 8ft sheets as this is the easiest and most economical option. 4×8 sided composite panels that come with a factory primer allow you to build at the lowest cost and in the shortest amount of time. Composite siding holds paint better than real wood siding, and using a plywood or OSB base makes tape covering faster. It comes in different grades and thicknesses depending on your budget. The top of the line is called “Duratemp” if you can afford it. It is covered with 1/2 to 5/8 inch composite plywood. It offers the best of both worlds, strength and durability. “Smart Panel” also covers 1/2- to 5/8-inch OSB, and several composite panels are available. A regular composite coating will give you a long life if you paint it correctly. Most of them are estimated at 20 or 25 years. This is a good choice for budget reasons. The only downside is that it is not available in high humidity areas like Florida and Hawaii.
6. 16-foot-wide top door headers on non-load-bearing walls (gable end) are usually adjacent 2×10. If they are on a load-bearing wall (not gable ends) they may need to be designed. Check with your building department. If you are buying a manufactured title, engineering documentation will be part of the price.
8. You will need to line up the back of the top door jamb with a 2×6 to give the door proper clearance and something to nail the door leaf to.
9. 7-foot overhead rails require one foot of overhead space for installation. If you need a tall door, you need to build a garage with tall side walls. If you want to install an electric vent, you will need some extra frames for the engine.

10. Use 2×4 sandwich headers up to a 36-inch opening width. For openings larger than 36 inches, use adjacent 2×6 headers.
11. Fits 36″ pre-hung insulated steel doors. Make sure it is pre-drilled for double lock kit.
13. The beam should be made by a woodworking company and in most cases designed. They are usually 24 inches on center. You have 2 gables and the rest are normal internal supports. Be sure to consider the size of the vent.
14. Attach the brackets to the upper panels with hurricane ties (or H2.5). They use special nails. Install one at the end of each beam except the gable end.

16. 1/2-inch OSB is an inexpensive alternative to plywood. However, you may want to use plywood around the perimeter where the underside will be painted because plywood holds the paint better. OSB breaks and peels over time. Amount listed is based on square footage and does not include waste. There is 10-20% waste depending on how you cut yours. So buy some extra plates.
17. I suggest you make your cut by scraping it off the composite sides. If possible, buy solid boards without slots to reduce waste. Otherwise, cut around the slots on the regular sides. There are no grooved pages without regular grooves. You can use regular slotted sides, but then you can’t control where the slots go on your pieces. However, if you try to plan the cuts around the existing slots on the normal page, you will end up with a lot of waste. No slot should fit close to the main side. This should match the texture so it looks good when painted. If desired, you can buy one brand of grooved lining and another without grooved lining. Alternatively, you can buy ready-made border panels, but they are very expensive. As a last resort, you can use real wood for decoration. However, I strongly recommend this as real wood takes extra time and effort to prepare and still won’t give as good a finish as composite wood decking.
19. Depending on the pitch of the roof and the weather in your area, building codes may dictate the weight and number of layers of felt. A 30# roll covers 100 square feet. Size listed is based on square footage and does not take into account overlap and waste.
20. I suggest using the highest quality 30 year architectural shingles you can buy. The extra money spent here on quality will pay off in longer life and less maintenance. The size listed is based on square footage and does not take into account wastage. You will need a few more 3-packs of plain shingles for the starter straps and trim for the ridge caps.

22. Ask your hardware store for an estimate of the amount of fasteners you will need. Buy more when you think you need them because they are cheap and you can always use them for other projects.

Absolutely! We will only have to recommend otherwise if there is not enough space on the wall to install windows and/or doors.

We do not recommend using concrete blocks under your building. Spacing and leveling the blocks can be extremely difficult and they don’t even offer any support. Over time, an uneven pad can cause the structure to settle, which can cause doors and windows to stick.
