When someone buys property and makes plans to have a house built there, this person may feel conflicted about the type of garage to be constructed. Most commonly, new houses have an attached garage at the front of the building, with two or three stalls. However, not everyone likes the garage being such a large part of the front view of the residence. A contractor like Town & Country Builders Inc can construct a house with a detached garage or build a home with a garage attached to the back or one side. The detached garage can face away from the street or be set behind the house so it isn’t so obvious. The driveway will curve around to reach that structure.
An attached garage has certain advantages. It doesn’t require anybody to go outside to enter or exit a vehicle. That’s especially convenient during the winter or when it’s raining. A secondary advantage is the ease of providing some climate control if anyone wants to spend time working on projects in that structure. As long as nobody who will be living in the house finds these advantages exceptionally important, a detached version may be more suitable. Another possibility would involve having the contractor build a breezeway from the home to the garage. That means the garage can’t be situated too far from the house. This idea would be problematic if the house is on a hill and the garage somewhere down the slope.
A contractor like Town & Country Builders Inc can construct a detached garage in any design the property owner wants. For instance, it might look like a small house with a half-story upstairs and a peaked roof. That’s an advantage for providing a small apartment if zoning allows this. The area might function as a guest room, or a sewing or craft room. It can provide storage space. Detached garages generally fit well in neighborhoods with older homes, since the prevalence of attached versions is relatively recent. They also are more common in rural areas.
