Planning on getting a garage built? As with all of our projects, we can recommend the right materials for the job and keep your project on or under budget.

Have you ever thought of building a garage as a profitable investment? It is a profitable investment. As a matter of fact, building a garage is always profitable. In addition to offering sheltered parking space for one or more vehicles, a garage will also greatly increase your storage space and can be a great workshop for any do-it-yourself projects you might find yourself in charge of.

Adding the structure to an existing home not only increases the value of the property, but also the interest level of future buyers if you should decide to sell.

Laws and Bylaws
As with any large project, we will check local building code and permit requirements before beginning work. As a general rule, the documents required for building a garage are the construction plans and a plot plan indicating the location or the planned construction project on your land. We will build your garage to code and fulfilling all requirements suggested and imposed.

Dimensions
Before we get started, you will need to choose the size of your garage according to your needs. But how do you decide what size is right for you? As a general rule of thumb a single garage should be at least 20 ft. (6.1m) long, measured from the inside of the front wall to the inside of the back wall and 14ft. (4.27m) wide. The minimum width for a double garage should be 20 ft.. (6.1m). If you're planning on having a workbench or using your garage to store bicycles, tools or firewood, you should build a longer and possibly wider garage. Always build a garage at least to the dimension you really want, if you can afford it. It will cost more to add-on later than to do it all at once.

Additional Rooms
One thing that many people forget is that when they are building a garage, it's a perfect opportunity to build an additional room for reading, sleeping, and even as an apartment.

You will be surprised how much more cost effective it is to build the additional room as an attachment to the garage rather than as an addition all by itself. The cost savings and time savings could be just what you are looking for. At Zablocki Construction, we are ready to serve your needs, and your needs are our # 1 priority.
