The old garage had been worked on by family, but it had seen better days. The extension on the original garage was taking up valuable parking space, and all the materials were rotting and rusting.
After removing the old garage, the new footings and foundation were excavated in preparation for pouring concrete.
Because the property is on a hill, part of the foundation wall was high and the rest at grade. This project also included a new slab at the garage, parking area, and new stairs to the back yard.
This garage includes space for both vehicles and a shop area, and was wired to accommodate large power tools. The installation of insulation and sheetrock inside provides a finished shop space that is both comfortable and attractive.
From the back yard, the garage is low-profile and appropriate in scale. A fence provides privacy and limits access.
From the alley, vehicles can easily enter and exit the garage, and there is enough space to park additional vehicles outside.
