Thinking of a detached garage?

Most people want a garage. If one wasn’t integrated into your house when it was built, or if you need more space, a detached garage is the perfect choice.

It’s a versatile structure that adds to your property value and is far less costly than an attached garage, which brings with it all of the costs, timelines, and disruption associated with a home addition.

If you’re thinking of adding a garage to your property, here are some of the benefits:

Home Security

It’s no secret that vehicle theft has skyrocketed and your vehicle is a significant expense. Having a secure, enclosed space within which to park and store items, offers piece of mind.

Shelter from Ottawa Weather

Our weather is changing. We’re getting more ice and wind storms in Ottawa than we used to, and this appears to be the new norm.

What a great feeling it is when you wake up to 15cm of snow and freezing rain, and you don’t have to go out into the cold to clear the snow off the car, chip the ice off the windows and wait for them to defrost. You can just warm up the car and drive away!

And with our more recent tornados, your vehicle is tucked away and safe from flying debris.

Organized Storage

Are you tired of storage being spread throughout the house? Are you hauling tires and patio furniture in and out of the basement every spring and fall?

A detached garage offers flexible space, so that many of your existing storage areas can be consolidated into one organized space, with room for garbage bins, the lawn mower and snow blower, gardening tools, tires, ladder, decorations, sports gear, and the list goes on.

Workspace for Home Projects

The car doesn’t have to take up the whole garage. There can be room set aside for a workbench with all of your tools. When you have a project to do, move the car out and you’ve got lots of dry space to work in.

Increased Resale Value

There’s no question that a garage increases the value of your property – everyone wants one, and many buyers won’t consider a property that doesn’t have a garage.

All-in-all, it’s a great investment!
