Orton Companies builds private auto storage and car condominiums in Big Lake. Tall doors, clean spans, and a finished room for the cars — not a leftover shed.
Big Lake collectors usually outgrew the garage years ago. We design the bays around the cars you have and the ones you will buy: door height, turning, security, and a winter envelope that keeps the collection dry. Multi-bay buildings for clubs and private warehouses for a single owner are the same craft — one crew from the drawing to the last door.

Big Lake is home base. The crew stages from 19060 253rd Avenue, so a Big Lake walkthrough is usually a same-week visit, not a long-range estimate. That is the advantage of hiring the company that actually lives in the market instead of a dealer two hours away.
Every Big Lake-area site is city or township, and accessory-building rules change with the parcel. We confirm jurisdiction before we price — then the same crew can stand the building up.
Collector garages and private auto storage work well on Big Lake acreage where height and door width are not fighting a suburban setback line.
What Big Lake sites usually need
Most Big Lake sites are acreage or large residential lots with clay-loam soils and a high water table near wetlands and the river corridor. Frost-depth footings, drainage, and access for concrete and boom trucks matter more here than a pretty elevation. We confirm city vs township jurisdiction before we price the job.

Minnesota work we do for Big Lake owners

Can you build a car condominium near Big Lake?
Yes. We build multi-bay car condominiums for collectors and clubs across Central Minnesota.
Do you build custom garages in Big Lake?
Yes. We build tall-door custom garages for Big Lake owners who need secure storage and a finished exterior.

Where is Orton Companies located in Big Lake?
Our yard is at 19060 253rd Avenue, Big Lake, MN 55309. We hold Minnesota Residential Building Contractor license BC-809449.
Do I pull a City of Big Lake permit or a township permit?
It depends on the parcel. City of Big Lake, Big Lake Township, and Orrock Township each have their own process. We confirm jurisdiction, setbacks, and accessory-building rules before we lock a price.
How fast can you start a Big Lake project?
Because the yard is here, site visits and crew scheduling are the shortest in our territory. Timeline still depends on season, concrete, and the permit — but we are not burning a travel day to look at your lot.
If the cars have outgrown the garage in Big Lake, tell us the mix and the lot. Orton Companies designs and builds collector storage across Central Minnesota in Minnesota.
