Our Complete Garage Construction Services

Every garage is engineered for Maine’s heavy snow loads, frost line requirements, and extreme weather conditions while maximizing functionality and value.

Garage Sizes & Design Options
- Single-Car Garages (12×20 to 14×22 feet): Ideal for basic vehicle protection with some storage space. Single-car garages provide excellent value while protecting your vehicle from Maine’s harsh weather conditions.

- Multi-Bay & Workshop Garages (24×30 feet and larger): Maximum functionality for families with multiple vehicles, workshop needs, or equipment storage requirements. Large garages can accommodate RVs, boats, and extensive workshop areas.
- Attached vs. Detached Options: Attached garages provide convenient home access and can share heating systems. Detached garages offer more design flexibility and eliminate concerns about vehicle emissions or noise.
- Custom Configurations: Unique site conditions or specific requirements may call for custom garage designs. We specialize in creating solutions that maximize functionality while working within site constraints and budget requirements.
