Process

Upon signing up with Garage Gurus our first job is to obtain all necessary permits to begin the process.
Next any site prep and demolition is completed. Following site prep our concrete crew enters the site for the foundation process.
Any excavation and site grading is preformed and then the forming and concrete is accomplished.
Once the foundation has time to cure the building stage begins. Over one to two days the garage structure is erected including all walls, roof, shingles and soffit and fascia are completed.
At this stage your new garage is closed in making ready for our liscenced electrician to complete the electrical to your specifications.
The final stage is the exterior finish weather its vinyl siding or stucco all to match your home.

Testimonial

“I have nothing but good things to say about Garage Gurus! I took my time deciding which company to use after getting five estimates from different companies. Garage Gurus came in middle of the road with regards to cost but Terry was very up front with absolutely everything and answered all my questions quickly and confidently. I felt that Garage Gurus was the most knowledgeable and upfront about the cost and process and so decided to go with them; I am very glad I did. After the demolition of our old garage things moved quickly and efficiently- like a well-oiled machine. The workmen arrived when Terry said they would and worked very hard when they did (even in the 33 degree heat). They had no problem with the extra jobs we needed done like moving our fence, cutting our deck and redoing our footpath. The end product is awesome! We couldn’t be happier with our new garage. I am so glad I chose Garage Gurus. Terry is honest, upfront and very easy to talk to. He always answered all my calls and emails promptly. I’d have absolutely no problem recommending this company to anyone - they do what they say they will and build you an awesome garage, no hidden fees or unnecessary time extensions. A big thank you to Garage Gurus for all of their hard work Forbes Gordon”
