Although garages are often overlooked in the overall design of a home, they are an essential component to the overall functionality of a home. Depending on the proportion of the garage to the rest of the home, it could very well make or break the overall aesthetic of a home. A well designed garage has an exterior that is both cohesive and complements your home.  There are always ways of elevating the curb side appeal of your home, especially with proper garage renovation and design.

The garage contractors at Silver Leaf Construction offer a variety of different garage construction services including:

• Detached Garages - if your home is lacking in garage space and you have the land/space, a new detached garage might be the best option for you.

• Attached Garage renovation - If your current garage is only slightly limited, it is possible to renovate it without an enormous overhaul. A small expansion to add room for larger vehicles or extra storage could be just what your home needs. (see the before and after example shown above)

• Garage Additions - Some homes don’t have a garage at all. Add on a garage to house your exposed vehicles.

After considering the existing architectural style and overall proportions of your home, allow us to determine which configuration would best fit your home. Once we collaboratively establish personal needs for the garage, then we move on to the design phase. There are many things to consider in garage remodeling and design.
