Built to Last and Function Right

Detached garage construction in Washington County designed to match your property and meet local requirements.

You need more than parking space. Washington County homes often lack the storage or workspace that daily life demands, and a detached garage solves that without crowding your main structure. Kartchco Construction builds garages that hold tools, vehicles, and seasonal equipment while standing up to the heat and dust common across Washington County.

We handle the entire build including coordination with concrete foundation contractors and site preparation. Each garage is designed to meet local codes and match the look of your existing home or business. We work with you on layout, door placement, window options, and interior finishes so the finished building serves your needs whether you are storing a boat, running a home business, or simply need covered parking.

What Goes Into Building Your Garage

Your garage starts with site prep and a poured foundation that accounts for soil conditions and drainage patterns in Washington County. We coordinate with concrete contractors to make sure the slab is level, reinforced, and ready to support the framing. Once the foundation cures, we frame the walls, install roofing, and add doors and windows based on your layout.

When the build is finished, you will have a structure that keeps dust out, provides clear access for vehicles or equipment, and adds usable square footage to your property. The garage will match your home in siding, trim, and roofing materials so it looks intentional rather than added on.

We also handle electrical rough-in if you need lighting or outlets for power tools. Insulation and interior finish options are available depending on whether you plan to use the space year-round. The garage is built to local code and designed to hold up under regular use without settling or cracking at the foundation line.

Questions That Come Up Before You Build

Most homeowners in Washington County want to know how long the build takes, what permits are required, and how the new structure will fit on their lot before they commit to a detached garage project.

How long does it take to build a detached garage?
Most detached garages take four to six weeks from foundation pour to final inspection, depending on size and finish details. Weather and permit processing can shift that timeline slightly.
What permits are required in Washington County?
You will need a building permit and possibly a zoning review depending on setback distances and lot coverage. Kartchco Construction coordinates permit applications as part of the project.
Can the garage be used as a workshop or living space?
A detached garage can be built with insulation, electrical service, and interior finishes that support workshop use. Converting it to living space requires different permits and is handled as an accessory dwelling unit.
How do you match the garage to my existing home?
We use the same siding, roofing material, and trim details as your main structure so the garage looks like it was part of the original build. You review material samples before we order.
What size garage works best for two vehicles?
A two-car garage typically measures twenty feet by twenty feet or larger, depending on whether you need workspace along the walls. We walk your site and discuss door placement before finalizing dimensions.
