Adding a detached garage or shop to your property that compliments your home is not only a great way to add storage or workspace, but it also increases the market value.
One of the first things to consider is how you intend to use the space.
- How many bays will you need and what size?
- Will it primarily be used as storage space for vehicles and recreational equipment?
- Are you “handy” and need a workshop to tackle your home improvement projects?
- What future purchases do you plan on making that might require safe storage? Is there an RV, boat, or fifth wheel in your future?
- All of the above?

Quick and Easy Installation
Prefabricated wood garage or shop packages are designed to be quickly and easily assembled on-site, which means you can have your new garage or shop up and running in a fraction of the time it would take to build it from scratch.
Cost Effective
Prefabricated wood garage or shop packages are often less expensive than traditional construction methods, as they are mass-produced in a factory setting and require less labour and materials to assemble on-site.
Durability and Strength
Wood is a durable and reliable building material that has been used for centuries. Prefabricated garage or shop packages are designed to be strong and sturdy, capable of withstanding harsh weather conditions and heavy use.
Low Maintenance
Prefabricated garage or shop packages are designed to require minimal maintenance over time, which means you can spend less time and money on upkeep and more time enjoying your new space.
Separation
If you’re using your space to work on projects, the noisy ones, like engines or woodwork, having a separate space not attached to the home will keep everyone happy.
Safety
When vehicles and hazardous items are stored away from the home, there is less chance of fire or other costly accidents, and let’s not forget other substances that can give off fumes that in the long run can affect the air quality of your home.
When you are thinking about your next home improvement project, be sure to give some consideration to the ways that a garage or shop can improve your life and the value of your home!
