Free-standing garages, shops, and garage apartments — engineered for North Texas clay, matched to your brick and roofline, and built turnkey by one design-build team. Permits, HOA review, and structural plans handled before you sign. Since 2014, 5,875+ projects, one fixed price.
A new detached garage in Dallas–Fort Worth runs from about $45,000 for a bare 2-car shell to $280,000 for a full carriage house with a finished apartment above. A finished, brick-matched 2-car lands around $45K–$65K; a 3-car or climate-controlled workshop runs $65K–$120K; and a garage with a guest suite or ADU sits in the $130K–$280K band. We build new free-standing structures — not conversions — including the foundation, framing, roofing, doors, electrical, and any plumbing or HVAC, all on a fixed written price before work starts. For how detached garages compare to other ways to add space, see our room additions overview and the DFW addition cost guide.
“A detached garage isn’t a shed with a slab — it’s a second structure that has to survive the same clay soil moving under it that moves under the house. We engineer the foundation and match the brick before contract, so the price you sign already accounts for what’s under the ground.”
