Consequently long narrow lots are more conducive to building detached garages. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">On the flip side, however, detached garages can easily consume valuable land on your property. For example, a big backyard may be completely obliterated by plunking a detached garage in the middle of it.<\/span><\/td>\n<td width=\"3%\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"47%\"><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/garage-addition-bid-sheet\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1586 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Garage-Addition-Bid-Sheet-249x300.jpg\" alt=\"Garage Addition Bid Sheet\" width=\"249\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Garage-Addition-Bid-Sheet-249x300.jpg 249w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Garage-Addition-Bid-Sheet-768x927.jpg 768w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Garage-Addition-Bid-Sheet-848x1024.jpg 848w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Garage-Addition-Bid-Sheet.jpg 956w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 249px) 100vw, 249px\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">When contemplating between an attached garage versus a detached garage walk your property, and stake and string out the location for both a detached and attached garage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">By using stakes and strings to outline the garage footprints, you can better assess the impact of each garage type on your property. Moreover it can help to determine the appropriate size for your garage, no matter which one you elect to go with.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">It\u2019s also important to check with your local building inspector and review lot maps before deciding upon what type of garage to go with and where to locate it.\u00a0There are various <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_articles\/residential_building_codes\/\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\">residential building codes<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span> that can and will impact the size and location of your garage, be it an attached garage addition or a detached garage building. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">For example, there are typically setbacks from lot lines for constructing any type of building on your property.

For example, the removal and replacement of house siding and the tying in of roof lines can quickly mitigate any cost savings associated with building an attached addition.<\/span><\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"2\" cellpadding=\"2\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"50%\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Detached Garage Addition Costs<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Building a detached garage, on the other hand, is like building a new home.

Also, make sure not to skimp on size. You only get one shot to build your garage and the last thing you want to do is build it too small.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Remember that a garage is often used for storing many more items than just cars. In addition, even if you build an attached garage addition for mainly storing automobiles and yard items, chances are you\u2019ll want to use a portion of it for a small workshop. So again don\u2019t skimp on size with your garage design plans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Lastly make sure to incorporate at least one standard utility door in your garage. This way you don\u2019t have to necessarily open a garage door just to walk out of your garage. A utility door can save you a fortune in energy bills if you plan to heat your garage during the winter months and anticipate using the garage as a main form of ingress and egress to the home.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><b><span style=\"color: #008000;\">For more information on building a garage addition<\/span><\/b> see the <strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/garage-addition-bid-sheet\/\">Garage Addition Bid Sheet<\/a><\/span><\/strong> from HomeAdditionPlus.com.
