Garage Sizes

Garage builders are often asked, "What’s the standard or average size for a two-car garage on a typical city lot?" The answer? It depends on your lot size and, more importantly, your unique needs.

For example, a 20x22 detached two-car garage may be perfect for empty nesters or a young family without kids. However, add a couple of little ones into the mix, and suddenly a 24x24 garage might be the better fit.

What’s most important is selecting the garage dimensions that suit your site, accommodate two or more cars, and provide the storage space (or anything else) you need.

Garage Plans & Designs: Timeless Styles, Modern Solutions

Since 1949, when Western Construction, Inc. was established, garage designs and plans have come a long way. In those early days, homeowners loved features like roof cupolas, weather vanes, diamond-shaped overhead door windows, and durable fiberglass doors. These classic elements laid the foundation for the innovative garage styles we see today.

Now, modern two-car detached garage plans prioritize functionality and flair. Today’s top designs include steeper roof pitches for a bold look, gable or roof storage trusses with sturdy floors and folding ladders for convenient access, insulated steel overhead doors for energy efficiency, and low-maintenance vinyl siding paired with stylish windows. Many homeowners also opt for premium materials like James Hardie fiber cement siding or Minnesota-crafted LP SmartSide siding to elevate durability and curb appeal. Whether you’re dreaming of a custom garage or a practical storage solution, our designs blend timeless inspiration with cutting-edge trends.
