Want to Add a Garage to Your Chicago Property?
If you’re considering adding a detached garage to your home, it’s essential to remember that this is a significant undertaking. Adding a detached garage is a lot more than just throwing up four walls, adding a roof and a door, and calling it good!
In reality, adding a detached garage is a project very similar to building a small house, and for it to be successful and provide functionality and curb appeal to your home, careful planning and execution are extremely important. From pouring the foundation to deciding on flooring, providing adequate insulation, and depending on your planned usage, good heating, cooling, and plumbing, superb professional assistance is crucial.

Our Garage Plans
For Absolute Garage Builders, every garage is a custom project. As one of Chicago’s most experienced and versatile garage builders, Absolute Garage Builders has the know-how to make every garage unique and suited to meet each customer’s needs. Absolute Garage Builders starts planning your custom garage with a blueprint based on one of our five garage design plans, as well as the roof type and construction materials.
A Choice of Roof Type: 4-Point, 1-Point, Reverse 2-Point, I-Joist
- 2-Point roof garage design — This option is the standard garage roof style. The triangular gable faces the road and is built to match the gables on the house.
- Reverse gable roof garage design — One of the most common garage roof styles. The angle of the roofline slopes to the front and back of the garage. The gable ends face the sides.
- 4-Point Roof — Often built for extra storage capacity and extra strength in windstorms. Several types are available.
- I-joist garage construction — This design is ideal for the homeowner with extra garage storage needs. The strength of the I-joist wood beams in the floor allows the structure to support the weight of additional storage space above.
Roof Pitch
Roof pitch is the rise in inches for every 12 inches of the roof. In the first illustration below, figure 4 means the roof pitch increases by 4 inches for every 12 inches of the roof. The other pitch options illustrated are 6, 8, and 12 inches.
Garage Sizes
From each of these garage designs, Absolute Garage Builders can create a custom garage plan to meet your specific needs.
- Any capacity – The sky’s the limit on the size of your garage. Whether the garage will hold only the family car and some lawn equipment or your entire classic car collection, Absolute Garage Builders can create a custom garage for you.
- Any storage – If you can’t part with the family treasures but can’t store them in your house either, Absolute Garage Builders can create a garage plan that will allow you to safely tuck them away. If you have recreational vehicles that need to be stored off-season, Absolute Garage Builders can create a garage to keep your “toys” secure until you’re ready to use them again.
- Any style – Absolute Garage Builders will help you select a garage design that will complement the appearance of your house or other existing structures. We can also expand an existing garage with matching materials and styles.
Whether building a new garage or enlarging an already existing garage, Absolute Garage Builders helps you choose the right building material and colors and select the most functional garage door, as well as windows and pleasing exterior décor.
