Orton Companies builds private auto storage and car condominiums in St. Michael. Tall doors, clean spans, and a finished room for the cars — not a leftover shed.
St. Michael 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.

St. Michael is twenty minutes from the yard and full of people who outgrew the garage but still live in a neighborhood that cares how the next building looks. That is a design-and-build problem, not a kit-building problem.
We also still build real barns on the acreage that has not been platted yet. A shop next to a new house and a barn on leftover farm ground are different buildings — different elevation, different doors, different permit path.
Collector garages in St. Michael need height, security, and a finished look. We design for the cars and for the neighbors.
What St. Michael sites usually need
St. Michael has more suburban fabric than Big Lake. Remaining farm parcels still take a full pole barn; newer neighborhoods often need a smaller, better-looking outbuilding that clears HOA and city accessory rules. We read the covenants before we draw a line.
