Detached and attached garages built from the footings up — framed, sided, and roofed to match your home and last for decades.

Licensed Hands-On General Contractor · CSL #CS-114214 · HIC #206818

A garage is one of the most useful additions you can make to a property — covered parking, dry storage, a workshop, or a foundation for future living space above. Done well, it looks like it was always part of the house. Done poorly, it looks like a shed bolted to the wall. We build to the International Residential Code with proper frost-depth footings, engineered headers over the overhead door, code framing and sheathing, ice-and-water shield at the eaves, and siding and trim that match your home's existing details. The result is a garage that ages with the house, not against it.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a new garage cost in Massachusetts?

A basic 2-car detached garage typically runs $40,000–$70,000 turn-key including foundation, framing, siding, roofing, and a standard overhead door. Attached garages, larger footprints, finished interiors, second stories, and architectural matching all add to the budget. We provide a do-not-exceed estimate after a site visit.

Do I need a permit to build a garage?

Yes — every Massachusetts town requires a building permit for new garages, plus zoning sign-off for setbacks and lot coverage. We handle permit drawings, submittals, and inspections from footing to final.

How long does it take to build a garage?

Most 2-car detached garages take 4–8 weeks from groundbreaking to final inspection. Attached garages and garages with finished living space above take 8–14 weeks depending on scope.

Can you match the garage to my existing house?

Yes. We match siding, trim profiles, roof pitch, shingle color, and window styles so the garage looks like it was always part of the home, not a tacked-on addition.

Do you finish the inside — drywall, electrical, heating?

We can finish to whatever level you want — bare studs, insulated and drywalled, fully heated and wired for shop use, or a finished bonus room above. Electrical and HVAC are handled by our licensed subs.

Detached or attached — which makes more sense?

Attached garages cost less per square foot, share heating, and are convenient in winter. Detached garages give you more flexibility on placement, avoid carbon monoxide concerns, and often have fewer zoning headaches. We'll walk through the trade-offs for your lot during the estimate.
