GARAGES AND SHOPS
Garages and Shops Contractor in Spokane, WA
Your vehicles, tools, and hobbies need a safe place to live. Scraping a thick layer of ice off your car windshield at six in the morning is no fun. Tripping over power tools in your basement is even worse. At Spokane General Contractor, we build high-quality garages and shops that solve your storage problems and give you the space you have always wanted.
Whether you need a simple two-car garage to protect your daily drivers from the Washington snow, or a massive workshop for your woodworking business, we make it happen. We design and build tough, beautiful outbuildings that match your home and boost your property value. Say goodbye to driveway clutter and hello to your brand-new, customized space.
Protection With Custom Garages
A good garage does much more than just store cars. It protects your biggest investments from harsh weather, falling pine branches, and curious wildlife. We build custom garages that blend perfectly with the style of your current house. Our team handles everything from the concrete foundation to the final shingle on the roof.
Attached Garage Additions
If you want the convenience of walking right from your kitchen into your vehicle, an attached garage is the perfect choice. This is the ultimate comfort upgrade for cold Spokane winters. We carefully tie the new structure into your existing home, matching the siding, roofing, and paint so it looks like it was always there.
Detached Garages
Sometimes, you just want your vehicles and noise a little further away from the living room. Detached garages offer incredible flexibility. You can place them anywhere on your property, depending on your driveway layout and property lines. These are fantastic for storing classic cars, setting up a loud home gym, or simply adding a beautiful new building to your yard.
Multi-Vehicle Layouts
Families grow, and so does the number of cars. We build two-car, three-car, and even four-car garages. We can design the layout with extra deep bays so you have plenty of room to open your doors without dinging the car parked next to you. We can even add a bump-out space in the back for your lawnmower and snowblower.
Dedicated Space in Workshops and Hobby Shops
Every creator, mechanic, and tinkerer needs a sanctuary. If sawdust is slowly taking over your house or your tools are rusting in a damp shed, it is time for a real upgrade. Our custom shops are built for hard work and serious hobbies.
Auto Mechanic Shops
For the weekend grease monkey or the serious restorer, we build auto shops that can handle the heavy lifting. We can pour reinforced concrete floors that support heavy car lifts. We can also design the building with extra-tall ceilings and heavy-duty electrical panels so you can run air compressors, welders, and power tools without blowing a fuse.
Woodworking and Craft Studios
A good woodshop needs space for large tools, tables, and lumber storage. It also needs great lighting and ventilation. We build shops with bright, energy-efficient LED lighting and plenty of windows to let in natural sunshine. We can also frame out special areas for dust collection systems, keeping your lungs clean and your shop tidy.
Man Caves and She Sheds
Sometimes, a shop is not about work at all. It is about relaxing. We build insulated, comfortable spaces that you can finish into the ultimate hangout spot. Add a big-screen TV, a comfortable couch, and a mini-fridge, and you have a backyard getaway that you never have to leave.
Oversized Storage for RVs, Boats, and Toys
Living in the Pacific Northwest means we love our outdoor toys. From weekend camping trips in the RV to summer days out on the lakes, having the right gear is part of the lifestyle. But parking a massive boat or motorhome in your driveway is a hassle, and paying monthly fees for a storage lot gets expensive very fast.
Tall RV Garages
Motorhomes and fifth-wheel trailers are incredibly tall. Standard garage doors simply will not work. We build specialized RV garages with massive, 14-foot overhead doors and extended lengths. We can also install specialized power outlets so you can keep your RV plugged in and the battery charged all winter long.
Boat and ATV Storage
Boats need protection from the sun and snow to keep their covers and seats in perfect condition. ATVs, dirt bikes, and snowmobiles need a secure spot where they are safe from theft. We build wide, deep storage shops that fit your truck and your trailer perfectly, so you never have to back a trailer into a tight, impossible corner again.
Features and Custom Upgrades
A bare-bones wooden box is not what we do. We believe your new garage or shop should be comfortable, functional, and built to last for decades. We offer a huge menu of custom upgrades to make your new building perfect for your specific needs.
Heavy-Duty Insulation and Climate Control
Spokane weather swings from cold in January to blazing hot in August. If you plan to spend time in your shop, insulation is a must-have. We fully insulate the walls, ceiling, and even the garage doors. We can also install mini-split heating and air conditioning units, keeping your space the perfect temperature 365 days a year.
Professional Electrical and Plumbing
Extension cords stretching across the yard are dangerous and annoying. We bring full electrical service directly to your new building. You get plenty of wall outlets, bright lighting, and power for heavy equipment. Want to wash your hands or clean off muddy boots? We can run plumbing lines for shop sinks, utility tubs, or even a small half-bathroom.
Upgraded Flooring
Plain concrete is fine, but it can stain easily from oil drips and paint spills. We offer professional epoxy floor coatings. Epoxy seals the concrete, makes it look like a glossy showroom, and allows you to wipe up oil spills with a simple paper towel.
Our Simple Construction Process
Building a new structure on your property might sound stressful, but we make it incredibly easy. We handle all the heavy lifting, paperwork, and planning so you can just enjoy the final result.
Design and Planning
We start by listening to your ideas. We look at your yard, measure the space, and talk about what you want to store. We then draw up a plan that fits your needs and your budget.
Permits and Approvals
Dealing with the city or county permit office can give anyone a headache. Do not worry; we handle all of it. We submit the blueprints, get the building permits, and ensure everything perfectly follows the local building codes.
Fast and Clean Construction
Once the permit is in our hands, our crews get to work. We dig the footings, pour the concrete, and frame the walls. We work quickly but carefully. We also respect your property. We clean up our job site every single day so you do not have to look at a messy yard while we build.
Do I need a building permit to construct a garage or shop?
Yes, almost all permanent structures require a building permit from the city or county. We handle the entire permitting process for you, including submitting the blueprints and scheduling all the required local inspections.
How long does it take to build a detached garage?
Most standard detached garages take about four to eight weeks to complete from the day we pour the concrete foundation. The exact timeline depends on the size of the building, the weather, and any special custom features like plumbing or heating.
Can you match the siding and roof to my current house?
Absolutely. We take great pride in making your new building look like it belongs on your property. We can source siding, paint colors, and roofing shingles that are an exact or incredibly close match to your existing home.
Do you offer insulated and heated shops?
Yes we do. If you plan to work in your shop during the winter, we highly recommend full insulation and climate control. We can insulate the walls, roof, and doors, and install heating and cooling systems so you are comfortable all year round.
How big of a shop can I build on my property?
The maximum size depends on your specific property lines, your lot size, and the local zoning laws in your neighborhood. During our first visit, we will check the local rules to tell you exactly how large you are allowed to build.
Can I add a bathroom or sink to my new shop?
Yes. If your property layout allows it, we can trench and run water and sewer lines from your main house out to your new building. Adding a utility sink or a small bathroom is a very popular upgrade for workshops.
