Here a few of the common questions we get. Please call with additional questions, or add them to our Project Inquiry Form.
Do I need a PERMIT to build my garage?
In most cases, the construction of your new garage will legally require obtaining a building permit.
We will help you determine what will be needed for your project. We will also direct you to the proper township to pursue your building permit.
Do I need to have a blueprint or can you help with that?
While we have blueprints available from past projects, the best approach is to determine your space needs first. We can plan specifically for your needs.
We expect our customers to have financing in place before entering in to any project relationship.
We always do a site-visit – once your space needs have been established.
We will check on local set-back requirements, permit applications, overall space needs, removal of existing obstacles and more.
Once all these factors are examined we will work with you to ensure you get what you need – based on the existing space available.
