Key Features to Consider

Door & Entry Options
Getting in and out of your garage should be simple. Choose from roll-up, overhead, or carriage-style doors to fit your space and needs. Need extra access? Side entry doors or multiple bays make it easy to move vehicles, tools, and equipment without hassle.

Your detached garage should match your lifestyle. Blend it in with your home’s style with different siding and roofing options, from adding windows for natural light or built-in storage for tools. You can customize your garage to be practical and visually appealing.
FAQs About detached garages
Can I add electricity and insulation to a detached garage?
Absolutely! You can wire your garage for lighting, outlets, and even heating or cooling. Insulation helps keep the space comfortable if you plan to use it year-round.
What type of foundation is required for a detached garage?
Most detached garages need a concrete slab for stability and durability. Some smaller garages can sit on gravel or a reinforced wood base, but concrete is the best long-term option.
What size detached garage do I need?
It depends on what you’re storing! A one-car garage is usually 12×20 feet, while a two-car garage is around 24×24 feet. If you need space for tools, storage, or a workshop, go bigger!
Do I need a permit to build a detached garage?
In most areas, yes, you’ll need a permit—especially for larger garages or if you plan to add electricity or plumbing. Check with your local zoning office before starting your project.
How much does a detached garage cost?
The cost of a detached garage depends on size, materials, and customization. A basic one-car detached garage can start around $7,905 to $43,997, while larger multi-car garages with upgrades can range from $21,588 to $113,155 or more. For a more precise estimate for your specific garage design, use our 3D Builder.
What is a detached garage, and how is it different from an attached garage?
A detached garage is a standalone structure separate from your house, while an attached garage is connected to your home. Detached garages give you more flexibility in placement and design, and they help keep noise and fumes away from your living space.
What does a detached garage mean?
A detached garage is a standalone structure separate from the main house, giving you extra space for parking, storage, or even a personal workshop. Unlike an attached garage, which shares a wall with the home, a detached garage sits independently, offering more flexibility in design and placement. It’s a great option if you want to keep noise, fumes, or clutter away from your living space while still having a secure, covered spot for your vehicles and tools!

Our Sheds Unlimited experience began on their informative website. We used their on-line design tool to create our shed, and the project flowed smoothly from design to delivery. Our site is very steep, and I truly doubted they would be able to deliver our 12’ X 14’ shed. They committed to delivery after reviewing pictures of our narrow street and steep hillside yard. Nate is a master equipment operator. He had our shed sitting perfectly level on our pad about 30 minutes after arrival. I was amazed by what he could with their specialized equipment. Fantastic work Sheds Unlimited!!

What can I say about Sheds Unlimited that hasn’t been said? The process to design what I wanted could not have been easier, the delivery was spot on time and the installation crew (Gideon, Joshua and Leroy) was awesome! I could not say enough good things about Sheds Unlimited, I highly recommend them!

I started this process of building a garage 2-3 years ago. I called local builders. Two of them never returned my calls, and one guy chewed me out for finding his number on the web and calling him without being referred by someone. I’m not kidding, this is how the building contractor experience is right now in New England. My web searches always turned up Sheds Unlimited and I saw that they had stories from folks in New England who had used them to build garages even though they are in Pennsylvania. I decided to go through the quote process. There was a similar shed & garage company closer to my home in New England so I got quotes from both of them for similar garages. The New England company quoted me a number that was 2 1/2 times higher than Sheds Unlimited quote. I decided to go with Sheds Unlimited. I worked with Sergey in sales over many emails on exactly what I wanted. There was never a moment when he seemed bothered or impatient by my questions and my changes. Everything was possible and everything had a clear dollar amount, the sale never felt rushed. I finally decided on a design and paid the deposit. The local permit process went smoothly with the plans I purchased from Sheds Unlimited. The process of getting a foundation and pad from a local contractor was probably the most difficult part of the process. Contractors that do concrete work, are used to working with builders, not private homeowners. But I found a guy and gave him the plan and I eventually got a nice pad and foundation. I told Michael from Sheds Unlimited the pad was ready and I expected to wait 10+ weeks since it was now summertime. I got the call only 5 weeks later from Gideon the project manager that they were ready. On the scheduled day Nathan and his crew of 3 young, hard working Amish carpenters arrived and discovered that my driveway was the worst-case scenario. They could not get their very long and heavy trailer up our driveway due to the tightness of the turn and narrowness of the driveway. So they had to unload everything from the trailer at the road to my build site which is about 900 feet from the public road. They dealt with local vehicle traffic, and unhelpful local police. The young crew had to run back and forth the 900 feet to walk alongside the forklift to make sure the preconstructed structural members did not swing into trees. Not once did they show any frustration or anger. Nathan was still positive and smiling when I talked with him about it later. So after all this arrival difficulty, when they finally starting constructing the garage, it went up incredibly fast. Every worker knew their part. There was no question about what they should be doing. They practically got the whole 2-story 2 car garage up in one day even after the delay from the driveway issues. They only stopped for the day when torrential rain finally started. They showed up at 5:30 AM the next day and finished the job. I can’t say enough great things about what I witnessed with this construction crew. Like I said, I have never seen anything like them in 26 years of hiring various contractors for home projects.

Our experience with ShedsUnlimited was the best experience we have ever had with a construction contractor. From the initial estimate through the final product, they were great to work with and went above and beyond on several things. When our local county had questions on the design for permitting, ShedsUnlimited worked directly with them, answering all their questions and moving the project forward. When the county decided (after the fact) that one window needed safety film added, ShedsUnlimited took care of that as well at no cost to us. The overall process went exactly as the website describes, and our 54×24 building was exactly as promised, with the efficient, friendly team completing the assembly in just 2 days! The materials and construction quality were excellent. A large, well-constructed building for significantly less money than a local contractor would charge! I highly recommend ShedsUnlimited for any size building project.
