Garages are one of the most useful structures to have around, but not all properties are built with one on site. Fortunately, homeowners still have the opportunity to take advantage of the space by building an addition. Whether you're interested in attached or detached styles, here's what you need to know when planning new garage construction.  

A Guide to Garage Additions

What Are the Benefits?

Rain, hail, ice storms, blizzards, theft — these are just some of the threats vehicles face, especially in areas like central Missouri. Fortunately, the risk for damage is minimized substantially with a garage addition. The area provides a protected space safely tucked away from the elements, along with enhanced security against unwanted visitors.

The structure provides a useful storage space as well. Instead of dealing with a cluttered living space or paying for a storage unit, you have the opportunity to organize your belongings a few steps from your front door. The additional square footage also provides a protected workspace for whatever project comes your way.

What to Consider Before Construction

Before beginning construction, you need to determine the desired style of the addition. There are many features available that can enhance form and functionality depending upon your budget or expectations of what the final product should look like.  Additionally, the project may require permits for work to begin. If you don't know where to start, your building contractor has the skills and experience needed to guide you through the process.
