Exploit an existing attached garage

Exploit an existing attached garage structure to add separate living space. This two-car garage is seamlessly blended with the architecture of the house, and an efficiency apartment has been added as a second story over the garage, leveraging the preexisting foundation and framed structure.

Accent detached garages

Accent detached garages to give them a strong identity and beautify the property. The wood paneled doors, door lites, and detailed lighting fixtures of this detached garage give it as much character as the home itself.

Match garage doors

Match garage doors to the home’s architectural style for big visual impact. These classic wood garage doors with raised panels and lites perfectly complement the contemporary brick home with its Craftsman-style touches. Not to mention, the doors are beautiful in their own right.

Projects For Building a New Garage

Framing & Raising Walls

Raising the garage walls is an exciting time in your project, as the structure begins to emerge rapidly with relatively little effort.

Installing Roof Framing

A system of rafters, ridgeboard, and collar ties creates the framework for this garage’s simple gable-style roof. Rafters are a traditional, sturdy, and economical option for this project, but custom-built trusses are another viable option.

Wall sheathing

Wall sheathing stiffens building wall framing and creates a uniform backing for siding and trim. A layer of building paper or housewrap seals the sheathing from moisture infiltration.
