CUSTOM BUILDING

Garage Building

Space for vehicles, storage, and projects.

Attached garages, detached garages, and garages with living or storage space above — we plan and build garages that fit the site, match your home, and handle mountain weather.

Attached or detached

An attached garage offers convenience in snow and rain, but must tie into the home's structure and meet fire-separation requirements. A detached garage gives more flexibility in placement and design. We'll help you weigh which suits your lot and daily routine.

Site and access

On mountain lots, garage placement depends on driveway grade, turning space, drainage, and how snow and water will move around the building. A level slab often means grading or retaining work, which we plan before construction starts.

More than parking

Many owners want a workshop, extra storage, or a bonus room above. Planning for these early — ceiling height, electrical capacity, insulation, stairs, and windows — avoids costly changes later.

Designed to match

Rooflines, siding, trim, and garage doors are chosen to complement your home so the garage looks like it belongs on the property.

Things to plan for

Driveway grade

Steep approaches affect where a garage can sit and how it's used in winter.

Future use

Plan power, insulation, and height now if you may finish the space later.

Setbacks

Local rules may limit where a detached building can be placed.

Common questions

Can you build a garage with an apartment above?
Possibly. Living space adds requirements for permits, utilities, and — on septic — capacity. We'll review it for your property.
Can my garage match my house?
Yes. We plan roofing, siding, and trim to complement your home.
Do I need a permit?
Most garages require a permit. We'll help you understand what applies to your property.
