What is included
What detached garages covers.
- Two, three and four-car detached garages

- Roofline, siding and trim matched to the house
- Electrical service run and permitted
- Attic trusses or a second story where you want the storage
- Drive and apron tied into the existing one
Detached Garages, in practice
A detached garage that matches the house is worth doing properly. Matching the roof pitch, the siding and the trim details is what makes it read as original rather than as a kit dropped in the back yard, and it costs a fraction of what people assume.
Decide about the second floor before the trusses are ordered. Attic trusses cost slightly more and give you a usable room; standard trusses give you a triangle full of bracing, and it cannot be changed afterwards.

Building Through a Middle Tennessee Winter
Nashville winters are mild enough to build through and wet enough to complicate it. The trades that care about temperature and the ones that care about mud are different.

FAQ
Detached Garages — questions
Should a detached garage match the house?
Yes, if it is visible from the street — roof pitch, siding, trim and color matched so it reads as part of the property rather than a shed. A detached garage that matches adds value; one that does not can subtract it. Behind the house, a plainer building is fine and cheaper.
Can a detached garage have a room above it?
Yes — an office, a studio, a guest suite or an apartment. It is engineered for the floor load and the stairs from the start, it usually needs a bigger foundation, and a dwelling unit above a garage has its own permit and code requirements. Many Middle Tennessee counties allow an accessory dwelling; the rules are checked before the plan is drawn.
