Detached Garage

Orton Companies builds detached garages in Minnesota that sit as a second structure on the lot — matching siding, roof pitch, and trim so the garage looks like it belongs with the house. We deliver two- to four-bay post-frame and conventional garages with storage lofts, workshops, and heated bays.

Who we build this for

Homeowners who need extra stalls, want toys out of the attached garage, or are adding a garage where the original house never had one.

What we offer

• Two, three, or four bays with matching residential elevations
• Bonus loft or bonus room above the stalls
• Service door and window packages that echo the house
• Heated options for winter starts
• Driveway-aware turning and snow-storage planning
• Color-matched steel or residential siding

How we build it

We survey the house elevation and lot setbacks first, then size bays and roof so the new garage reads as architecture, not a shed. Foundations and drainage are detailed for Minnesota freeze-thaw.

The process

1. 01

   Your site and how you will use it

   Orton Companies walks the property, maps access, drainage, and utilities, and locks how you will use the building so it fits Minnesota code and your daily work.

2. 02

   Design and materials

   We produce a clear layout, how the building will look from the street, and a steel-and-timber package sized for snow load, wind, and the way you will actually use the space.

3. 03

   Construction

   A licensed crew sets posts or frame, encloses the shell, and finishes doors, roof, and interiors on a schedule built for Minnesota seasons.

4. 04

   Walkthrough

   You walk the finished building with us, we close the punch list, and you get a space ready for equipment, animals, customers, or living — from the same team that designed it.
