Add Functional Space to Your Property

Garage Construction Services in DeMotte, Indiana

You may need a detached or attached garage to keep vehicles out of the weather, create workshop space, or add storage your home no longer provides. In DeMotte, where wet springs and harsh winters can wear on unprotected vehicles and equipment, having a dedicated structure makes daily routines easier and protects what you own. Lance & Nate's Construction builds custom garages designed to match your existing home and fit the layout of your property.

Garage construction begins with understanding how you plan to use the space and what size will work on your lot. You may need room for two vehicles and a workbench, or a larger structure that doubles as storage for lawn equipment and tools. Every garage is framed with durable materials suited for Indiana conditions, including temperature swings, moisture, and snow load. The design process accounts for door placement, roof pitch, and how the garage connects to driveways or walkways already in place.

How the Garage Gets Built on Your Property

Construction starts with site preparation and foundation work, whether that means pouring a concrete slab or preparing a gravel base depending on your preferences and budget. In DeMotte, the site is graded to manage water runoff and keep the garage floor level. Framing goes up next, using dimensional lumber that supports roof load and wall sheathing. Roof trusses are set and sheathed before metal or shingle roofing is installed.

Once the structure is enclosed, you will notice the garage blends with your home's roofline and siding. Overhead doors are installed and tested for smooth operation. Electrical rough-in is coordinated if you need interior lighting or outlet access. The finished garage is weather-tight, structurally sound, and ready for the use you planned from the start.

Lance & Nate's Construction works on both suburban lots and rural properties where setbacks and access vary. The project timeline depends on size, weather, and whether utilities need to be extended. Most residential garages take several weeks from excavation to final walkthrough, and the work is sequenced to avoid disrupting your daily routine more than necessary.

What type of foundation is used for garage construction?
Most garages are built on a poured concrete slab that is leveled and reinforced with rebar. The slab provides a durable, moisture-resistant floor and supports the weight of vehicles and stored items.

What happens if the site has drainage issues?
The site is graded before construction begins to direct water away from the foundation. If drainage problems are significant, additional grading or gravel work may be needed to prevent water pooling near the garage.
