Boasting an area of 1200 square feet, the detached garage not only provides secure parking for vehicles but also offers an abundance of storage solutions, enhancing the functionality of the property.

Storage Solutions: Within the newly added garage, meticulous attention was devoted to maximizing storage capacity to meet the diverse needs of the homeowners. Custom shelving, cabinets, and organizational systems were expertly installed, ensuring efficient utilization of space and facilitating easy organization of belongings.
Exterior Stair Railing: Adding to the project's safety and aesthetic appeal, new exterior stair railing was meticulously crafted and installed to provide a secure pathway from the main home to the detached garage. Constructed from durable materials and designed to complement the property's architectural elements, the railing enhances the overall visual coherence while prioritizing the well-being of occupants and visitors.
