We are planning to build a 20x40 heated room with a cement floor in our already existing barn. Anybody be able to give an estimate on what we should be looking at for cost? We have calls into contractors but still waiting to hear back! Thanks!

How are you heating the room, the cost of how,you are heating and where you live will make a difference.

If the floor is already there and you use electric heat.

YOu can figure somewhere in the $12-15 sq ft range for basic finish out and go up from there if you get fancy with your finish.

If the floor is not there, consider heating the floor. It works very well. My husband is renting a shop set up like this. It's nice to lay on a floor that's not like laying on ice when working on stuff.

Flipside is, make sure it's done right. Wrong boiler or pipes set up wrong and you have issues that are hard to fix

As far as cost goes, I got nothin. I'm sure it's not cheap. And I have no idea how to put one in... I just know it's always toasty in there.

Are you looking for the cost of what building the room will be or what its going to cost to heat it?  I built a 10x10 insulated, heated room in my exsiting garage. Its a kennel room for my dogs so it has a drain in the floor, concrete, doggy doors and ac, window and man door.  Its been a few years but I think it was around $1500 for the room including the concrete.  I put a cove heater in there, never again it can not keep even that small of a room warm in the really cold temps and it is sized for that room. (dogs water will have a skif of ice on it even with it cranked up to 80) if the temp is much below 20 degrees.. I bought an electric plug in to help it out and with both of them running it stays nice and warm in there.  Id go with the heated floor if I did it again and could justify the extra money
