Attached vs. Detached Garages

Two smart options. Different benefits.

Attached Garage

Detached Garage

The right choice depends on your budget, lifestyle, and long-term goals.

We’ll help you choose the option that works best for your home.

Garage With Apartment Above

Garage With Finished Space

A garage with a finished space above, sometimes called an ADU, adds usable square footage for a home office, guest suite, or rental income.

This requires additional permitting beyond a standard garage, which we handle as part of the project scope.

Materials matching siding and roofing to your existing home, or building a standalone structure with its own material palette, either way, we build to the same Michigan winter standards as the rest of our exterior work.

Questions

Building, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits are typically required, along with inspections at multiple phases of construction.
We manage permitting with the relevant city, township, or Berrien County office directly, so you're not navigating multiple departments yourself.
Inspections typically occur at foundation, framing, rough-in (electrical, plumbing, and mechanical), insulation, and final stages. We schedule and coordinate each one.
