What's the difference between an attached and detached garage?

An attached garage connects directly to your home — convenient but limited by your home's footprint and foundation. A detached garage is a standalone structure, giving you more flexibility on size, placement, and use. Detached garages are popular for larger builds, workshops, or when you want extra space away from the living area. We build both, but most of our garage projects are detached.

Whether you're starting new construction on a custom home or adding a detached garage to your property, we bring the same standard to every build — quality materials, honest pricing, and a crew that treats your project like it's their own.

We handle the full build — framing through final finish. No handing you off mid-project. One crew, one point of contact, start to done.

"Great group of guys who are very detail-oriented. They completed the work quickly, stayed on schedule, and offered great pricing. It was pure luck that my job fit right in between his other projects, and he even helped by recommending a tree service for the work involving the downed tree on my pole shed. I will definitely hire Jared again, as his knowledge of construction and attention to detail are excellent."
