Garage construction

Lake Villa, Illinois

The Approach

Our team at Rohrer for Construction recently completed the construction of a standalone 3-car garage that met our client’s need for additional storage and workspace. The client sought to protect their classic car and boat, as their current garage was fully utilized for other vehicles. The new garage offers ample room not only for vehicle storage but also for a dedicated workspace and additional storage capacity.

To ensure the new garage complemented the existing property, we carefully matched its style to the homeowner’s other garage. The design included clean concrete skirting, two garage door bays, and a seamless architectural integration with the main property. The interior was left unfinished, providing the client with flexibility to customize the space over time, whether by adding a workshop, completing the interior, or expanding storage areas.

By constructing this garage, the homeowner now has a weather-protected space that keeps their vehicles safe from the harsh Illinois climate while enhancing the functionality and aesthetics of their property.

Value Behind Homeowners’ Decisions

Benefits of a Multi-Car Garage:
Adding a multi-car garage offers homeowners several advantages:

  • Protection from the Elements: Vehicles and equipment are shielded from weather, reducing wear and tear and preserving their value.
  • Increased Storage Capacity: Extra space allows homeowners to store vehicles, tools, and seasonal items with ease.
  • Dedicated Workspace: The additional room provides a functional area for hobbies, maintenance, or DIY projects.
  • Property Value Enhancement: A well-designed garage not only improves curb appeal but also increases the overall market value of the home.
  • Flexibility for Future Customization: Leaving the interior unfinished creates opportunities for the homeowner to personalize the space as needs evolve.

Benefits of Adding Multiple Garages:
Having multiple garages enhances the functionality of a property:

  • Improved Organization: Vehicles and belongings can be stored in separate areas, reducing clutter and improving accessibility.
  • Enhanced Aesthetic Consistency: When designed to match, additional garages can complement the existing architecture for a cohesive look.
  • Added Versatility: With multiple garages, homeowners can designate spaces for specific purposes, such as a workshop in one and storage in another.

The new 3-car garage addition not only meets the client’s immediate needs but also offers long-term benefits in functionality, protection, and property value.
