Our Garage Design-Build Process
- Site Visit & Design Consultation — We walk your property, review setbacks and access, and design a garage sized for your vehicles, storage, and workshop needs.
- Permits, Plans & Engineering — Site plan, construction drawings, permit application, and every city inspection from footings to final — all handled for you.
- Foundation & Concrete — Frost-protected foundation — floating slab or frost footings per your city's code — engineered for Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycles.
- Framing, Roofing & Siding — Snow-load-rated framing, then the same premium shingles, siding, trim, and gutters we install on homes so your garage matches your house.
- Doors, Finishing & Final Inspection — Garage doors, openers, and finishing details installed, site cleaned, final city inspection and warranty walkthrough completed.
