Garages

A good garage starts with the vehicles, tools and storage you need to fit. Planning door sizes, depth and future uses up front avoids a building that feels cramped on day one.

Common project decisions

  • Number of stalls and vehicle sizes, including trucks and trailers
  • Attached or detached, and how it relates to the house
  • Workbench, storage loft or bonus space
  • Heating, insulation and lighting plans

Materials & design considerations

  • Siding that matches or complements the home
  • Garage door styles, insulation and windows
  • Roof pitch and roofing material

What affects cost

  • Footprint and ceiling height
  • Foundation and concrete work
  • Door count, size and style
  • Electrical, insulation and interior finish
  • Tie-in to an existing structure for attached garages

Timeline considerations

  • Permits and site layout come first
  • Concrete and framing are weather-sensitive
  • Garage doors can have their own lead time

Questions & answers

How big should a two-car garage be?

It depends on your vehicles and what else you store. Measure your largest vehicle with doors open and add room to walk and store — then plan from there.
