Detached Garages in Nashville and Middle Tennessee
Detached Garages

Detached Garages

Detached garages built to match your home, with a slab, framed walls, a finished roof and doors sized for the vehicles, tools and projects you want under cover.

A detached garage gives vehicles, tools and projects a home of their own, set apart from the house. Homeowners in Nashville add them to protect cars from hail and summer sun, to free up the attached garage or to gain a workshop. A good garage looks like it was always part of the property.

We begin with the lot: setbacks, slope, drainage, the driveway approach and where utilities run. Then we plan the size, the roof lines, the siding and the door layout and give you drawings you can review and use for permits. After approval we prep the site, pour the slab, frame, roof, side and finish the building, and walk through every detail with you at the end.

Lot first

Setbacks, slope, drainage and the driveway approach decide where and how the garage sits.

Size and layout

We pick a footprint and door arrangement for your vehicles, storage and future needs.

Match the house

Roof pitch, siding, trim and window style are chosen to look like part of the property.

Permits and plans

We prepare drawings and help you check what Metro Codes or your city and HOA require.

Questions

Detached Garages FAQ

How much space do I need?

Measure vehicles with doors open, add room for storage and a bench, and plan a little extra. Our size picker and design studio help test options.

Do I need a permit for a detached garage?

Almost always. We help you check with Metro Codes or your city and your HOA before building.

Can the garage have power and lights?

Yes. We plan lighting, outlets and a sub-panel with a qualified electrician and any required permits.

Will the driveway need work?

Often a short extension or apron is needed. We plan it with the site and the permit.

How long does it take?

Permits and site work come first. The build itself usually takes weeks, depending on size and weather.
