Building garages near you

Actually, garages are just one of the things frequently designed and built by our construction specialists. They also design, build, and renovate carports, barns, shops, ADUs, and many other structures.

PROJECT TYPES

NEW GARAGE CONSTRUCTION:

Our contractors will build your new structure for you from the ground up! We will build your new attached garage, detached garage addition, carport, RV shelter, barn, or even just a new storage shed. We can handle everything (including the initial inspection of the property, obtaining any required building permits, & preparing the ground for the foundation and the rest of the garage construction process). To reach us now about your new garage in AZ, click here: new garage construction estimates.

GARAGE RENOVATIONS:

If you already have a garage, plus you want our construction experts to make it a little different from how it is, we can help. Small garage remodeling jobs include typical home improvements projects that happened to be located inside your garage (like adding built-in shelves, overhead storage, cabinets, windows, & lofts), plus projects like resurfacing of the cement floor of the garage (like with epoxy coating or acid-staining). Other garage renovations are for repairs or restoration (like for cracking concrete foundations, leaning garages, plus rebuilding after fire damage or storm damage). To request an estimate now, click here: garage renovation estimates.

GARAGE CONVERSIONS:

A. Converting FROM a garage
Many people who now have an attached garage have determined that they need more interior space for their home. So, they would like our contractor to convert their existing garage to some other use (whether that is a standard, permanent conversion or only a partial conversion that is legally just "garage remodeling"). Further, since they may still need a secure place to park their car, when someone hires our contractor to convert their existing garage into an interior living space, then it is not unusual for them to also have a new garage built at the same time. (In fact, for many cities & HOAs, there is a legal requirement that when converting your existing garage to a room, you must also add a new covered parking shelter.) To request an estimate now, click here: garage conversion estimates.

B. Converting a carport TO a garage
If you want our garage construction contractors to build you a new garage by enclosing the existing carport, let us know by clicking here: carport to garage conversions.

OTHER:

If you are interested in a project that does not fit the other options listed here, ask us! Below is a case where a carport with a deck over it was demolished to then build an enclosed garage plus a sunroom over that. (While it may not even look like the same house at first, note in very lower right of the photos that the stonework at the corner remains unchanged.)

Meet Our Team

The newest part of our team features several structural engineers and other blueprint specialists. They will prepare your architectural plans at very competitive prices, especially considering the rapid time to approval of the building permit.


Ileana is a structural engineering specialist and one of our newest team members, joining us in early 2024. She has been an estimator of construction projects for years, plus an on-site supervisor of commercial projects for tenant improvements.

Their construction drawings and structural sheets are used by our network of over 200 estimators serving more than 30 states. They are the ones who mainly meet you (the public) in person. You will see them for site visits, then for balancing the project details with your desired budget to reach an agreement, and finally as they manage your construction service (all the way from the groundwork to passing the final inspection).

Of all of our construction specialists, the one with the most new projects in both 2022 and 2023 was Kent.

Behind the huge team of builders and the small team of structural engineers and architectural specialists, we also have a tiny team of office support staff. Most interactions with the public will begin with our office staff (often just by email). However, other than occasionally handling the initial research into what options are legal for you, our support staff will not be the key people for your project.


J.R., our senior supervisor of project planning, has been with us since early 2016.

The key people will be the engineers and your local project manager. They will plan your project, get you approved for a permit, and complete the construction project (whether for building a new garage or for altering an existing structure).


Calvin, one of the construction specialists with lots of prior experience but new to us in the year 2023.

Since 2016, our operations have expanded from greater Phoenix in Arizona to three other states (in 2017) and currently serve about a dozen states primarily. Our blueprint team has been obtained building permits in all 50 states (plus at least 4 other countries). Our builders have completed many thousands of projects. Overall, we have processed well over 20,000 requests.


Starting with us in 2017, Randy has received many awards for his construction and renovation projects.

Although our business is specialized in new construction of custom garages, we also can assist with many things that you might not expect. Realtors are often especially pleased to learn of the range of things that we can do for people who are searching for a home to buy. To see a longer list of the variety of structures that can be built or renovated, click here. Or, to see some examples of some cases where we helped people in surprising ways (or an analysis of the near future of interest rates in the US), click here.


Bruna originally graduated with a degree in civil engineering but now serves northern Utah to provide estimates and manage construction projects. She is also a licensed realtor.
