Complete Garage Construction
Chicago garages do more than shelter cars—they protect vehicles from brutal winters, secure equipment from alley theft, and increasingly serve as rooftop deck foundations. Whether you need a new detached garage, an attached addition with living space above, or a coach house replacement, the structure must handle Chicago's freeze-thaw cycles, snow loads, and zoning requirements. Many clients use garage construction as an opportunity to add a roof deck, workshop, or accessory dwelling unit above.
Garage construction in Chicago requires navigating specific zoning rules around lot coverage, setbacks, and height limits. Alley-accessed garages have different requirements than front-loaded designs. We handle permit applications, surveys, and inspections while designing a structure that maximizes your allowable building envelope. For roof-deck-ready garages, we incorporate the additional structural requirements from the start—proper foundations, reinforced framing, and waterproof assembly.
Your new garage integrates with your property through thoughtful site planning. We coordinate drainage to prevent water from pooling against foundations, design driveways and aprons that connect to existing hardscape, and select materials that complement your home's architecture. The finished structure provides secure parking, valuable storage, and—when designed for it—a platform for outdoor living space above.
