How Much Does a Single-Level Garage Cost in Massachusetts? (2026 Prices by Size)

A single-level garage from Hometown Structures costs about $44,605 for a 24x24 and about $71,790 for a 28x48, installed and before the foundation. A two-car garage typically falls between $44,600 and $61,000. Larger layouts with a workshop bay or a third bay run from about $61,000 to $72,000. Those are 2026 prices from our price book. They include labor and materials, so the garage is built and finished on your foundation. They don't include the foundation, excavation, sales tax, or mileage if your site is a good drive from our Westfield, Massachusetts base. This guide walks through the sizes people ask about most, what each one costs, and what moves the number up or down. We wrote it in plain sentences on purpose.

How Much Does a Custom Shed Cost in Massachusetts? (2026 Pricing Guide)

A custom shed in Massachusetts typically costs between $3,500 and $20,000 or more, depending on size, material, foundation type, and the level of customization. For a mid-range wood shed in the 10x14 to 12x16 size range, most homeowners across Massachusetts budget $6,000–$11,000 installed. Vinyl sheds of the same size run $500–$2,000 more upfront but cost less to maintain over time. These figures reflect a locally built, fully customized structure — not a flat-pack kit from a big-box retailer.

How Much Does a Custom Garage Cost in Massachusetts? (2026 Pricing Guide)

Here are the real numbers. A single-level garage in Massachusetts starts at $38,095. A story-and-a-half starts at $47,770. A two-story starts at $61,670, and that includes the required dormers. Those are 2026 prices from our current price book — T1-11 siding, standard configuration, smallest available footprint for each type. One important note before you go further: these prices do not include excavation or a concrete foundation. Every garage needs a foundation — it is an additional cost that belongs in your project budget. Hometown Structures provides excavation and foundation work, or you can hire your own concrete contractor. Either way, plan for it as a separate line item. The final number for your project depends on how big it is, how it's configured, and what goes into it. This guide walks through all three garage types with size-specific pricing, what affects cost at each level, and how to get a price that's actually specific to your property.

How Much Does Excavation and Foundation Cost for a Garage in Massachusetts?

If you've been pricing out a new garage in Massachusetts, you've probably noticed that most cost guides — including our own <a href='/blog/how-much-does-a-custom-garage-cost-in-massachusetts' class='text-green-700 font-semibold hover:text-green-900'>garage construction cost breakdown</a> — focus on the structure itself. The framing, the roofing, the siding, the doors. What they often leave out is everything that has to happen before the first stud goes up: excavation and foundation. Those aren't small numbers. And if you're planning a budget without them, you're missing a significant piece of the picture. This post covers what goes into excavation and foundation for a garage in Massachusetts, what makes costs go up, and where to get actual numbers for your specific project.
