This 24x40 4 car Garage is located in Richfield, Minnesota where your allowed 1,000 square feet of Detached Garage. Driving by this home you'd never guess it was a 4 car Garage so it blends into the neighborhood perfectly. If we would;d have made the garage 40 wide by 24 deep it would have overpowered the the home and looks out of place. You don't notice depth as much as width so we build a lot of tandem garages in Richfield Minnesota.

Single Car Garages Hopkins MN

Single Car Garages

Sometimes single car Garages with a little extra storage is what you need. This Single car Garage was built in Hopkins Minnesota. Its a 14' wide by 36' deep Garage. While most Garages are 22' deep this customer wanted a small workshop in the rear of the garage. We separated the two garage areas with a partition wall. We built a cement ramp into the the storage area of the Garage so larger items can be wheeled into the Garage instead of having to fight a step. Garages that are deeper than they are wide are very popular where space is very limited. 

This Is What Our Customers Are Saying About Western Garage Builders

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 By marge - Mar 5, 2010

I compared about a total of 5 garage builders, before choosing Western Garage Builders. What sold me was his commitment and prep work. Bradley Chazin himself came to do the quote. He brought his folder of information showing me his license, a better business report of A+ (which I also found on the internet) and certificates of him being a master of cement. He was very clear about how cement in MN can be tricky and it needs to be done just right. His literature helped on showing detailed pictures of every step of the Garage building process! I liked this very much. Bradley also provided a referral in my own neighborhood. I knew the Garage already and loved it! It couldn't have gone better. The weather was beautiful. The work started a week after signing the agreement. Demo was done in 6 hours! After waiting a week for the cement to cure, work got started on the building and didn't stop until it was done one week later. I was careful to let the cement continue to cure another 28 days, then sealed it with a sealer as per Brad's advice! It's been a thing of BEAUTY ever since!

Thank you Western Garage Builders!
