I plan on starting my garage redo in the spring, and has anyone come across a way to estimate how much a redo will cost? Years ago I came across a restoration "checklist" in Super Chevy magazine that covers just about all ascpects of restoring a car. I was wondering if someone has done this for garages. I know what I want to do, but I'm sure that there are a few things that I will have forgotten. Thanks for your help.

Well I guess the best thing to do here is to take a picture of your garage, layout your plans, and seek some good advice here in garage retreat. Cost of remodelling a garage will always depend on so many things such as the space of your garage, materials to be used, etc.
So take a quick shot of your garage and the details of the garage and I'm sure if you post it here, you will definitely get some good advice.
Good luck!

Garage remodel is a tedious one and also the cost of it depends on the materials you will use.

I think it would be difficult to come up with a check list considering the many differences in garages.
What I was looking for was just a bare bones list of materials that a person might use to redo a garage. Granted the final list and cost for a project would depend on what that particular person wants to do, but I was just thinking of general things like sheet rock, electrical wiring, insulation, etc. It's a good idea to take a picture of my garage and then post it and then get advice from there. Either way I don't plan on starting anything until Spring, so I have time to think about it.
I got three bids to have my shop built. It is just a 24' x 40' rectangle, with a bathroom, two roll-up doors, five windows and a man door.
The estimates ranged from $25k to $35k for a fully finished outside and framed inside building, with the contractor handling all subs, etc. That's $10/sq ft in variation.
When I used online estimators, they all came in at about $35/sq ft.
I now have closer to $50k in it with all of the electrical, plumbing, insulation, sheet rock, concrete stain, etc. etc., and I am not done yet.
