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

The garage build went great. All the sub contractors were on time,did excellent work and left a clean work site. Even the CoW electrical inspector was prompt. We started late in the season (October) but the garage was completed before freeze up. It was also nice to have the company owner himself do the estimate and participate in the build. We are very pleased with the entire process and would recommend Garage Gurus to anyone.
