Custom Garage in Ferndale, MI

July 24, 2025

Our client in Ferndale, Michigan wanted to have a loft for storage but also wanted to have enough clearance for a car lift. For this custom 22’x 26’ reverse gable garage, we were able to use storage trusses for half of the garage and scissor trusses for the other half to achieve the necessary height.


The overhead doors are by Richards Wilcox. We special ordered a specific track system that followed the pitch of the trusses so as not to take up too much valuable car lift space. The door is operated by a jackshaft opener by Liftmaster that mounted next to the track system on the front wall and out of the way.


On the exterior we used Mastic Ventura vinyl soffit on all of the overhangs and aluminum trim on the rakes and eaves. The walls and gables and covered with James Hardie HardiePlank lap siding and HardieTrim boards. The dormers are covered with HardieShingle siding.

This project was for a past customer who wanted to build a master suite onto their home. We installed the new James Hardie siding and Andersen windows on this home a few years back so we were able to match all the siding, trim and windows to make the addition look like it was already part of the 1929 built home.
