2 car garage in Brookhaven? (Patchogue, Nassau: home, contractors, roofing)

[scottzilla]

Hello all!
I have a large property in Bellport/E Patchogue and would like to have a 2 car detached garage built. My options are to find a steel structure and handle the foundation and permits myself or get one stick built.
I just returned from the home show at Nassau and was dissapointed (That's another thread!). It seems contractors think $40,000 is an acceptable price for a simple, 2 car garage?

Anyone have a garage built recently?
Care to discuss the details? Who you used, what you paid, etc?

40K sounds a bit steep for a basic 2 car.
My father paid less than 6K to have his existing 1.5 car garage demolished and rebuilt.The only thing they saved was the slab. It was only a few years ago.
That included roof, siding, 2 double hung windows, and electric.

look in the pennysaver. about 27k for a complete 2 car garage with permits and all.
