    Who We Are

    Garage construction is the only thing we do

    We are a Chicagoland crew that builds detached garages and nothing else.
    Every plan is drawn around your lot line, your alley access, and the way you actually use the space.

    From a bare lot to the last shingle, we handle the whole build – demolition, concrete, framing, roofing, siding, gutters, and the overhead door.

    Narrow city lot? Tight alley turn? Attic trusses for storage? We design around what your property gives us and match the garage to the house in front of it.

    Permits
    & Zoning

    We draw the plans, pull the permits, and deal with the city or village ourselves, so you never spend a morning at the zoning counter.

    Concrete & Footings

    Footings are set to below grade according to Municipality requirements so the freeze-thaw cycle does not crack your investment.

    Built for the Alley, Built for the Winters Out Here

    Serving Chicagoland Since 2005

    Whether it is a one-car build off a Berwyn alley or a three-car with attic storage in Arlington Heights, we treat the job like it is going up behind our own house.

    How We Work

    Every garage we build runs through the same four phases, so you always know what is happening on your property this week.
    No surprises, no crews that vanish for ten days, no open slab sitting through a storm.

    01. Free On-Site Estimate

    We measure the lot, check alley access and setbacks, and hand you a written price.

    01

    02. Permits & Plans

    We draw the plans and file with your city or village, then handle every inspection.

    02

    03. Demolition & Concrete

    The old structure comes out, footings go below frost line, the slab is poured and cured.

    03

    04. Framing & Finish

    Framing, roof, siding, gutters, door and electric – then we walk the job with you.

    Estimates are free, and so is the advice.

    Here’s what Chicagoland homeowners say

    312 reviews

    They pulled the permit, poured the slab, and had the garage standing in under three weeks – and left the alley cleaner than they found it.

    “We put off replacing the old garage for years. The crew handled the village permit, matched the siding to the house, and finished a day early. Our neighbor hired them the month after.”
    Dave Kowalczyk Homeowner, Norwood Park
    “Straight answers on price, no upcharges halfway through, and the concrete is dead level. Third Chicago winter now and not a crack in the slab.”
    Maria Ortega Homeowner, Cicero
