Increased Property Value

A custom-built garage significantly increases home resale value, especially in competitive markets like Livonia and surrounding suburbs. Homebuyers often prioritize additional storage or workspace, making a garage a smart investment that delivers long-term ROI while enhancing curb appeal and overall utility of your residential property.

Tailored Functionality

Every family’s needs are different. Whether you require vehicle storage, a workshop, or a multipurpose space, our custom garages are designed around your lifestyle. We ensure the layout, features, and utilities are tailored specifically to your unique daily needs in Southeast Michigan’s residential communities.

Climate-Resilient Construction

Our garages are built with climate-adapted materials, effective insulation, and roofing systems that handle snow loads and humidity. From Livonia winters to humid Detroit summers, our garages are engineered for year-round resilience, minimizing maintenance and extending lifespan in all seasons.

Seamless Design Integration

We don’t just build garages—we craft extensions of your home. Every garage is designed to complement your house's architectural style, materials, and color palette. This seamless aesthetic integration enhances your property’s appearance and meets neighborhood standards found throughout Livonia, Farmington Hills, and nearby areas.

Enhanced Security

Custom garages offer improved safety for vehicles, tools, and personal belongings. Our structures include durable doors, heavy-duty locks, and optional smart security systems. Residents in Livonia and surrounding cities appreciate knowing their valuables are protected from theft and harsh weather conditions year-round.

Local Code Compliance

Navigating city codes and permit regulations is complex. With decades of experience in Wayne County and local municipalities, we ensure every custom garage adheres to regional requirements. Our team manages all permitting and inspections, helping Livonia-area homeowners avoid legal headaches and construction delays.


Our Custom Garage Services

Attached Garages

We design attached garages that seamlessly connect to your existing home, offering direct access and year-round convenience. Popular among Livonia homeowners, these garages enhance property functionality without sacrificing space, and are customized to meet your architectural style, budget, and local municipal code requirements.

Detached Garages

Detached garages offer flexibility in placement and function. Ideal for homes in Novi, Canton, and Northville, we build these structures as standalone units for storage, workshops, or even guest suites. They’re perfect for large lots and homeowners seeking separation between the garage and main living space.

Multi-Car Garages

Families with multiple vehicles benefit from our multi-car garage builds, accommodating two to five vehicles with ease. These structures are popular in suburban neighborhoods like Farmington Hills, offering not just space but also design versatility and added resale value for homeowners planning long-term growth.

Custom Garage Additions

Already have a garage but need more room? We offer expert garage expansions. Whether extending sideways or upward, we preserve the original design while enhancing utility. Perfect for Livonia residents looking to scale their storage or workshop space without starting from scratch.

Garage Workshops

Turn your garage into a functional workshop with dedicated workbenches, power outlets, lighting, and storage solutions. Ideal for hobbyists or small business owners in Metro Detroit, our garage workshops are crafted to meet your tools’ space and electrical needs while staying within local regulations.

Garage Conversions

Convert existing garages into fully functional living or office spaces. We retrofit the structure with insulation, HVAC, electrical, and flooring systems for comfortable use. This is a great option for Livonia-area residents needing more livable space without expanding the home’s actual footprint.

Excellent people with excellent craftsmen. We are thrilled with our home renovation and expansion. One of the city inspectors said that he wished he could bring people to my job site to show them how a job should be done. I can't say enough nice things about these folks.
