Ready to Add a Garage to Your Home?
Garages are an essential addition to any home. They allow you a safe space to keep your car during storms or the cold winter months. They also offer storage space for things you don’t want to keep inside, such as lawn equipment and tools.
The garage also offers a shady spot to store extra appliances or items you want to keep sheltered but away from the inside of the house. No matter why you need a garage, we are ready to build the perfect one.
Using Your Garage
If you are looking to customize your garage, we are here to help. Making plans for customization on your own is hard work. That’s why we want to bring in one of our experienced partners to help you.
We will first ask you what you plan on using the garage for, whether it be lawn equipment, tools, or boxes. You might also want a garage for parking the car without plans to use it for storage.
We know that garages are a significant investment, so we want to make sure your money is used correctly which is why we always go over the budget with you before we begin any work. Working with our team is an investment as well.
During your free consultation, we will see if there are any special requirements for your garage, such as specific building permits that are needed. We might also need to build a new foundation to ensure your garage’s structure is perfect.
Once we know your needs and the home’s structure, we can design a garage or carport for you and then go over the plans. You can let us know if there is anything you want to be done differently.
We also want to make sure you know that you don’t have to compromise when it comes to storage or parking. If you wish to space for both, we can ensure you’ve built the perfect garage to hold both.
Garages and Carports
While garages might be the most popular option in your neighborhood or city, we also offer carports. Carports are better in some cases. We can view your property and home and see if a carport might be a better option for you.
A carport might also be a better option if you are more interested in protecting your car than in storing items. Since carports are more open, they are not ideal for storage, but they protect your home from rain and sunlight. They also allow you to get in and out of the car without needing to stand in the shower.
Adding a carport can also add value to your home when it’s time for you to resale. Adding a carport might be a cheaper option than building an entire garage if your home doesn’t already have a garage. Adding a carport is also better for those with more than one vehicle.
We can install a carport efficiently and quickly. This makes us one of Virginia’s premier garage and carport builders.

Timeline and Schedules for Garages in Northern Virginia
Many people wonder how long it will take for their garage or carport to be done once we start building. This entirely depends on your property and how large you want to make your garage. The larger the addition, the more time it will take. Garage additions often take longer than remodels, while garage work takes longer than carports.
Before we can get started, we will need to see your property in person. We will then draw blueprints and meet with the architects and contractors to ensure everything has a plan before we begin building.
While the exact timeline varies, we will be able to give you a clear timeline once we see your space and make a plan. If at any time we think the process is going to take longer than expected, we will let you know right away.
We aim to ensure you are constantly updated and know what’s going on. We know it’s your home and will never leave you wondering what’s happening.
