Designing & Building Your Dream Garage 

Garages can serve as workshops, storage areas for tools and equipment, hobby spaces, or even home gyms. While many homes come with pre-built garages, opting for a custom-built garage offers distinct advantages. It allows homeowners to tailor the size, style, and features to their specific needs and preferences. This means you can create a space that perfectly accommodates your vehicles, hobbies, and storage requirements.

A custom garage can also enhance your property's aesthetic appeal and increase its value by seamlessly integrating with the existing architecture or adding a unique design element. 

Ultimately, a custom-built garage provides the flexibility to create a truly personalized and functional space that complements your lifestyle. Visit our gallery to see examples of garages built by our team.

Our Garage Design & Build Process

Building a custom garage is an exciting project that brings your vision to life. At Sunrise Valley Construction, we believe in a collaborative and transparent process. Here's a general outline of the steps involved:

Initial Consultation and Design: We start by listening to your needs, preferences, and ideas for your dream garage. Our team will work closely with you to create a detailed plan that considers your budget, desired size, style, and functionality.

Engineering and Permitting: Once the design is finalized, our team will ensure the structural integrity and compliance with local building codes. We'll handle the necessary permitting and approvals to ensure a smooth and hassle-free construction process.

Site Preparation and Foundation: Our team will prepare the building site, which may include clearing, leveling, and excavating the area. We'll then construct a durable foundation, whether it's a concrete slab, piers, or another suitable option based on your soil conditions and garage design.

Framing and Structural Work: We'll expertly frame your garage using high-quality lumber and construction techniques. This stage includes constructing walls, roof trusses, and any special features like lofts or second stories.

Sheathing, Roofing, and Siding: We'll install sheathing on the walls and roof to provide a solid base for the exterior finishes. Next, we'll install your chosen roofing material, whether it's asphalt shingles, metal roofing, or another option. Finally, we'll complete the exterior with your selected siding, ensuring a weather-resistant and aesthetically pleasing finish.

Interior Finishes and Customization: This is where your garage truly comes to life! We'll install insulation, ceiling and wall panels, flooring, and any other interior finishes you've selected. 

Final Inspection and Walkthrough: Before we consider the project complete, we conduct a thorough inspection to ensure everything meets our high standards and your expectations. We'll then walk you through your new garage, addressing any questions or concerns you may have.

How Much Does It Cost to Build A Custom Garage?

It’s difficult to give a price without knowing the details of your project. Here are some factors that can influence cost:

• Size: Larger garages require more materials and labor, increasing the cost.   
• Design Complexity: Simple designs are typically less expensive than complex ones with unique features or architectural details.
• Materials: The type of siding, roofing, doors, and windows you choose significantly impacts the overall cost. For example, high-end materials like brick or cedar siding will be more expensive than vinyl.   
• Foundation: The type of foundation (slab, pier and beam, etc.) and site preparation needed affect the cost.   
• Finishes: Interior finishes like metal wall panels, insulation, flooring, and electrical work add to the expense.
• Location: Labor costs and material prices vary by region.   
• Accessibility: Difficult site access can increase labor costs.   
• Permits: Permit fees vary by location.

With those factors in mind, here are general price ranges based on your needs:

• Basic Garage: A simple, single-car detached garage with basic finishes could start around $15,000 - $30,000.
• Mid-Range Garage: A two-car garage with standard features and finishes might range from $30,000 to $60,000.
• High-End Garage: A large, custom-designed garage with premium materials, high-end finishes, and features like a workshop could cost $75,000 or more.

Keep in mind that these are just general ranges, and the actual cost of your garage will depend on your specific requirements. We are committed to providing transparent pricing and working with you to build a garage that meets your needs and budget.
