Maximize Your Property With a Custom Detached Garage Design

A detached garage offers a unique set of advantages for Twin Cities homeowners. By building away from your main living area, you keep noise, dust, and vehicle exhaust completely separated from your home.

Wherever there are alleys, especially in older neighborhoods with homes ranging from 30 to 100 years old, a detached garage is often the most practical, traditional, and compliant choice for property access. Our garage design experts will help you select the exact footprint and architectural style to match your home, ensuring your new detached garage looks beautiful and functions perfectly for decades to come.

We can design your detached garage with insulation, drywall, and climate control to finish it off as a comfortable home office or private workout area.

Hobby Sanctuaries

Historic Replacements

For homes that are up to a century old, we expertly replace dilapidated structures with modern detached garages that provide modern durability and safety.
