Not everyone needs (or wants) a 6 car or 10 car garage. Some folks are just fine with a two car garage… but they might have some specific needs for that space… and maybe those needs weren’t thought of by the builder or architect.
One of the yardsticks I use to measure is a truck. My truck. It is about 24’6″ long. And there are VERY FEW garages that my truck fit in. Many are tall enough (6’8″ to the clearance lights) and most have the width covered… at least if they have a double door… but few have the depth.
This particular floor plan does allow my dually to pull all of the way inside and close the door. It is 526 square feet. A normal 2 car garage is between 380 and 440 square feet. Most are around 420… 20′ wide x 21′ deep seems to be quite popular.
One of the things that I try to do is keep an eye out for the homes that are unusual… those with garages that might be a little better for enthusiasts. I also try to find the garages that have a little extra cool factor.
If you have a need that might be a little different than “average”, give me a call or send me an email and let’s see what we can find for you.
