Popular FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to build a typical garage?
Most garage construction projects take between 4-8 weeks from start to finish, depending on size, complexity, and whether it's attached or detached. Factors that affect timeline include site preparation requirements, concrete curing time, material lead times, and weather conditions. We provide detailed timelines during our planning process.
What's the average cost of building a garage in Oregon/Washington?
Garage construction costs in the Pacific Northwest typically range from $150-$250 per square foot, depending on design complexity, materials, and additional features. Attached garages are generally less expensive than detached structures which require separate utility connections. Specialty features like workshop areas, apartment spaces, or custom storage systems will affect overall costs. We provide transparent, itemized estimates so you understand your investment.
Can you build a garage that matches my home's style?
Absolutely. We take careful measurements and photographs of your existing home's architectural elements, materials, and finishes to ensure your new garage complements the main structure. We can match siding, roofing, trim details, and color schemes for a cohesive appearance. For unique or historic homes, we source matching materials or create custom elements to ensure architectural harmony.
Do I need special permits for a garage construction project?
Yes, garage construction typically requires building permits, and may also need zoning approval or other special permissions depending on your location and property restrictions. In some cases, utility connections, driveway approaches, or stormwater management plans may require additional permits. Our team handles all permitting processes, including submission of plans, coordination with inspectors, and compliance with local regulations.
