Garages FAQs

Yes, you should be able to cover your detached garage on your homeowners insurance policy. Most policies will automatically cover it as a “separate structure,” but policies differ widely. It’s best to confirm with your insurance company whether or not it will cover the detached garage before starting this extensive project.

It’s typically less expensive to buy a garage-building kit than to build a garage from scratch if you’re supplying all the labor.

In that case, it’s worth the investment to build a garage through a local garage builder who can coordinate the hiring of other necessary pros.
