Attached & Detached Garages

Solidly-constructed Garages

You don’t need to be a car buff to appreciate the benefits of a solidly-constructed garage. Whether detached on your property, or attached directly to your home, a garage can make everyday life more convenient and enjoyable for you and your family members.

Each option has its own list of benefits and considerations. Sometimes the shape of your lot or the position of your house on the lot will dictate the type of garage you should choose. On a narrow lot, a detached garage positioned towards the rear of the property might be the best (and only) choice. If you’ve got plenty of room, a garage attached to your home might be the best way to preserve yard space for children, pets and general enjoyment.
Also consider your reasons for wanting the garage. Is it to serve mainly as a place for storing, accessing and protecting your vehicle(s) from inclement weather? In this case you most likely want a garage that will be attached to, and can be accessed directly from, your home. If you are thinking of more of a workshop or “man cave” garage design, it’s likely that other factors such as available space, privacy and noise levels should all take equal precedence in your decision.
