How to get the perfect garage or shop
A great garage starts with the right plan for how you’ll use it—what you’ll park, build, and store. Use these quick guides to choose the specs that fit your life and budget.
Structure & slab
Your slab is the foundation of everything. We size thickness and thickened edges for the loads you’ll park (SUVs vs. trucks/RVs), add a vapor barrier to keep moisture down, and place control joints to manage cracking. Where allowed, we can add a gentle slope and a floor drain (or trench drain at the door) to make wash-downs easier. Cost movers: slab size, thickness, drainage, and any cut/fill or soil correction.
Doors & access
We size insulated overhead doors to your vehicles—common widths are 8′ or 9′ single and 16′ double; we can go taller/wider for boats or RVs. High-lift tracks keep doors tight to the ceiling for car lifts or tall storage. Add a side man-door for quick access and smart openers you can control from your phone. Cost movers: door size/insulation, windows in doors, opener type, and track style.
Power & lighting
Shops work better with the right power. We plan a 60–200A subpanel, run 120/240V circuits for compressors, welders, table saws, or EV charging, and lay out outlets at the right height along walls and benches. For visibility, we spec bright, low-glare LED lighting plus task lights over benches and tools. Cost movers: panel size, number of dedicated circuits, and lighting count/height.
Comfort
If you’ll actually use the space year-round, plan for comfort. We insulate walls/ceilings, air-seal penetrations, and add a quiet mini-split for heat and AC (great control, efficient). Dehumidification helps with rust and finishes, and we can add fresh-air or exhaust where needed. Cost movers: insulation values, window/door packages, and HVAC capacity.
Storage & surfaces
We can build in attic trusses or lofts, overhead racks, and slatwall or plywood-lined walls you can screw into anywhere. Work benches get rugged tops and dedicated outlets. For floors, epoxy coatings resist chemicals and clean easily; we’ll prep the slab properly so coatings last. Cost movers: loft square footage, wall systems, and floor coating type.
Match the house
A garage that looks “original” comes down to the details. We match roof pitch, shingle/metal profiles, siding or brick, and trim so the new structure blends with your home. Windows and exterior doors are sized and styled to echo your existing architecture—not fight it. Cost movers: material matching (brick/stone vs. siding), custom trim profiles, and window/door packages.

Benefits To Building A Garage On Your Property
- Securely park your vehicles somewhere warm and dry.
- Securely store toys like RVs, Motorcycles and Boats.
- Never scrape your car windows in the winter again!
- It’s a nice warm and dry place for a workshop.
- More secure and dry storage.
- Better resale value of your home.
With some municipalities allowing the construction of a rental suite above the garage it’s a great way to help finance the cost, as the rental income would eventually pay for the construction.
Pre-Built Shops and Garages vs Custom Built
While pre-built packages serve their purpose in the marketplace, they aren’t the kind of structures we build for our customers. We specialize in building custom shops and garages that are built specifically for our customers needs and requirements. Whether it’s storage for a boat, an RV or their collection of classic cars or used for an entirely different purpose such as a workshop for a home based business.
We build structures to fit in with the local surroundings, and blend in seamlessly with the primary residence. We can build your garage what ever size you want. (local codes and bylaws will apply) We are also flexible in the shape, the roof pitch and overall design.
