Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a detached garage cost to build?
Detached garages in Oakland County typically run $30,000 to $80,000+ depending on size, finishes, and whether you need electrical, plumbing, or climate control. A basic two-car detached garage with electrical is on the lower end. A fully finished workshop with insulation, HVAC, and custom storage costs more.
Do I need a permit for a detached garage or workshop?
Yes. Any new structure requires a building permit. There are also setback requirements that vary by township. We check your local zoning, handle all permit applications, and schedule inspections.
Can you match the detached structure to my home?
Absolutely. We match the siding, roofing, trim, and overall style so the new structure looks like it was built with your home. Nobody should be able to tell it was added later.
How long does it take to build a detached garage?
A standard detached garage takes 6-12 weeks from permit to completion. Larger or more complex structures with finished interiors take longer. Weather plays a role in Michigan, so we plan accordingly.
