5 Steps To Design Your Garage
Step #1
What are my needs as far as size? Do I want to house one, two or three cars? How much room do I want left over after my car(s) are in my garage for shelves, work benches, etc? What ceiling height do I need? (This is usually dependent on the desired height of the garage doors.) Do I need one or two stories?? If I need a two story, is it just for storage or do I want a full height ceiling.
Step #2
What Style would I need? The A-frame is our most popular style since it matches the roof line of most houses. We can match the pitch to your current house. If you are going with the two stories we can do large or small A-dormers or we can do the full length Row Dormer to increase your storage space on the second level. We also have the barn(gambrel) style. This is the most cost efficient way to get a second story with full height ceilings.
Step #3
What Layout do I need? You can place your garage doors, walk-in doors, and windows wherever they would work best for your situation.
Step #4
What options do I need? Do I need all insulated doors and windows? What style of garage doors do I need? Do I need electric garage door openers? Shutters at windows or just trim? Window Flower Boxes?
Step #5
What type of siding and roof and what colors? Many people like to match their houses, but other factors may influence your choices as well, like HOA requirements or just your personal taste. Wood, Vinyl, HardiPlank, SmartLap, Cedar, Log, and Pine Board & Batten are some of the more popular siding types. We do have our standard colors, but can get what ever color you need to match your house or taste. The Architectural shingle is the most common type of roof. We also so the tuff rib or the standing seam meat roofs in a variety of colors.
