Adding a Garage to Your Home or Property

As we continue to struggle through a tough economy, adding a garage — either attached or detached—can add to the value of your home in more ways than one. Before jumping in headfirst, however, it is important to seek the guidance of a reputable builder who can help you walk through your ultimate goals and the steps you may need to take prior to construction. Surveying the lot for deed restrictions, drawing up plans, and adding electric or plumbing are all considerations that should be discussed first in relation to your budget.

Of the three garage plans R.W. Anderson & Sons is working on at the moment, two involve adding extra space over and above the vehicle space. In the first, detached garage, a second floor will be dormered out with the electric and plumbing added now for future use. Our second project involves attaching a 12x16 shed that already exits on the property. We have worked closely with the owners to incorporate the shed into the new building plan so that it aesthetically blends together.

Some of the garages we've built, as well as other examples of our work can be viewed here and in the portfolio section of our website. We encourage you to have a look!
