Your detached garage will be custom built to your exact order; everything from the size of the slab, to the height of the walls to the actual materials themselves. We don’t force you to choose from a pre-selected product line. However we can incorporate a few upgraded materials and proprietary construction techniques learned over the years to make your garage significantly better- without any additional costs!
Re-Invent The Way You Live!
Building a detached garage is a smart, low-cost way to change the way you live. Consider the benefits:
- Your home will feel bigger because you won’t have to look at the clutter.
- You’ll have room to work on your projects without feeling cramped.
- You’ll have a secure structure that is built stronger than your home if a hurricane hits.
- You could build a detached garage first and then convert your home garage for more living space.
What Are My Choices?
Most new garages start off by falling into one of the following categories:
