Single-Car Garages
What Size Garage Do I Need To Fit One Car?
Choosing the right dimensions for your one-car garage is crucial to ensure your vehicle fits comfortably and securely. The garage’s width, depth, and height need to accommodate not only the size of your car but also allow for easy entry, exit, and maneuverability around the vehicle. A garage that is too small can make parking difficult and limit space for essential tasks like opening doors or accessing the trunk. Additionally, if you plan to store tools, bikes, or other equipment, you must account for extra space to avoid overcrowding. By selecting the right dimensions, you create a functional, safe, and convenient storage space that meets your needs now and in the future.
Single-Car Garage Dimensions
What dimensions will your garage need to be to accommodate one vehicle? To help you answer that question, we have included some standard one-car garage sizes below. Keep in mind that the exact size you’ll need will vary depending on the make and model of the vehicle you plan to store as well as your storage needs. If you’re looking for additional storage space, a workbench, or need to store a uniquely sized single vehicle, we’re here to help you get exactly the one-car garage you need.
Width

Depth
20 to 24 Feet

How Many Square Feet is a One-Car Garage?

FAQs About Single-Car Garages
Can I choose the door and window locations?
Absolutely! Only if there is not enough space in the wall to fit the windows and/or doors will we need to recommend otherwise.
What size is your standard garage door?
Standard garage doors are 9×7. We will install the standard garage door if the wall has the width and height for the 9×7 garage doors. On the 10′ wide garages, we install an 8′ wide garage door. On the Premier garages the garage door height is 6′ 6″.
Will the standard garage floor be heavy enough for my motorcycle or car?
All portable garages have heavier floors with the floor joists 12″ on-center which is enough to support your motorcycle or a small car. If you prefer a more heavy duty floor it can be upgraded to 8″ on-center to give you a 33% stronger floor.
What are my options for garage roof colors?
There is a vast selection of color options for your garage roof. You can choose between various colors of asphalt shingles, corrugated metal roofing, and standing seam metal roofing. Check out our color options page to see all the colors you can choose from.
What color options are single-car garages available in?
Our single-car garages are available in various colors for both the siding and the trim. These colors include red, blue, brown, black, orange, green, tan, gray, and more. Explore our color options page to find the ideal color combination for your garage.
How much does a one-car garage cost?
The cost of a one-car garage will depend on the size, style, and features you choose to add. A 12×20 one-car garage can range from $6,930 to $34,409 or more if you add a second story. For a larger-sized one-car garage, like a 16×20, prices can vary from $14,696 to $18,353 or more if you add a second story.

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!!

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.
