The Garage Your Home Deserves

Many homes in the Hickory and Newton area were built without a garage, or with a single-car garage that barely fits a compact car — let alone tools, lawn equipment, and storage. If you're parking in the driveway and using your garage as overflow storage, you're not alone. But there's a better solution than just dealing with it.

A new garage protects your vehicles from hail, falling tree limbs, UV damage, and the ice storms that hit Catawba County every few winters. It also adds significant value to your property — homes with enclosed garages consistently sell faster and for more money than those without.

Building a garage involves concrete foundation work, structural framing, roofing, siding, and an overhead door system. It needs to meet local building codes for wind resistance, fire separation (if attached), and setback requirements. This is general contracting work that requires permits, inspections, and a licensed builder who knows the local codes. That's exactly what we do.

How It Works

Our Process

1

Consultation & Site Evaluation

We visit your property to discuss what you need — attached or detached, number of bays, ceiling height, storage requirements, and workshop space. We check setback requirements, utility locations, and grading to confirm where and how the garage can be built.

2

Design & Permits

We prepare construction plans with specifications for the foundation, framing, roofing, siding, and door systems. Plans are submitted for permitting, and we coordinate any required surveys or engineering. You receive a fixed-price contract before any work begins.

3

Foundation & Construction

Starting with the concrete slab or foundation, we build the garage from the ground up — framing, sheathing, roofing, siding, and trim. If the garage is attached, we integrate it structurally with your home and match the exterior finishes. Overhead doors, service doors, and windows are installed to complete the shell.

4

Finishing & Handoff

We complete interior finishing to your specifications — whether that's exposed studs for a working garage, drywalled and painted walls, or a fully finished workshop with electrical and insulation. After the final inspection, we walk through the completed garage and hand over the keys.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

A basic detached single-car garage typically starts around $25,000–$35,000. A two-car attached garage with finished interior runs $40,000–$70,000 depending on finishes and site conditions. Factors like foundation complexity, electrical service, insulation, and interior finishing all affect the final cost. We provide detailed estimates after evaluating your property.
Each has advantages. Attached garages offer convenient covered access from your home and typically cost less since they share a wall with the existing structure. Detached garages offer more flexibility in sizing and placement, reduce noise transfer to the home, and can be easier to permit if setbacks are tight. We'll help you weigh the pros and cons for your specific property.
Absolutely. We source matching siding, roofing, and trim materials so your garage looks like it was built with the original home. This is especially important for attached garages, but even a detached garage should complement your home's style. We pay close attention to roofline pitch, material profiles, and color matching.
Most garage projects take 3 to 6 weeks of construction time, depending on size and complexity. Add 2 to 4 weeks for permitting before construction begins. Attached garages with interior finishing may take slightly longer. We'll provide a timeline in your proposal.
In many cases, yes. Catawba County and local municipalities require that new structures meet setback distances from property lines. If there's any question about where your property lines fall, we'll recommend a survey before construction. This protects you from potential issues down the road and is often required as part of the permitting process.

What Our Clients Say

Garages Reviews

We needed a garage built before winter and Jeff had it done in under five weeks. He matched the siding and roof to our house perfectly — our neighbors thought it had always been there. Permits, inspections, everything was handled. I didn't have to chase down a single thing.
