Garages · Aurora

Garages in Aurora, built by one builder

Aurora landowners call us for detached and oversized garages for cars, trucks and storage. Aurora is about 16 miles north of our base in Parker, CO, well inside our 100-mile service area.

Inside city limits, lots are tighter and zoning sets the size, height and look of an accessory building, so a detached garage, shop or RV garage gets drawn to the city's rules first. Out past town there's room for pole barns and barndominiums on acreage.

The quote is free: tell us the size, what the building is for and where the property is.

    A reinforced slab with perimeter footings for frost and a vapor barrier, plus a concrete apron that meets your driveway, all on a base prepared for the clay on your lot.

  • 05

    Doors, insulation and finish

    Insulated overhead doors with openers, a walk door and windows, insulated walls and roof, lights and outlets, and in-floor heat if you want a warm garage in winter.

  • 06

    Storage built in

    Attic trusses or a loft for overhead storage and a side bay or lean-to for the mower, bikes and yard gear, so the cars stay where they belong.

Arapahoe County, Colorado

Garages around Aurora

We build around Aurora, near Environmental Park, Great Plains Park and Senac Creek, and throughout Arapahoe County.

Aurora is one of Colorado's biggest cities, spread across Arapahoe, Adams and Douglas counties on Denver's east side. Aurora is about 16 miles north of our base in Parker, CO, well inside our 100-mile service area.

Colorado is hard on buildings: snow loads that change with elevation and county, wind that hammers open ground on the plains and the Palmer Divide, hail, and clay soils that swell and shrink under a slab. So every building is engineered for the snow and wind where it sits, the slab goes on a prepared, compacted base with footings below the frost line, and insulation and vapor control keep condensation off the steel.

  • “Mike is a true professional in every way. Versatile, reliable, well skilled, and extremely knowledgeable. Easy to work with and a hard worker. His pricing is reasonable and his estimates for his work were spot on. I trusted him completely, as I am an absentee owner and could not be on site to oversee progress. He gave me updates and photos. A great find. Would recommend without any reservation. Hire him if u want it done right and on time.”

  • “Mike was great at communicating with me and was incredibly competitive in his pricing. The work was done quickly and was high quality. I would absolutely recommend his company to anyone needing work done on their houses.”

    Lora T.

    Home project · HomeAdvisor review

  • “I am so appreciative of the quality, responsiveness, and value that Mike Fowler and his crew performed on completely remodeling and expanding our kitchen including moving walls. He did it in a timely manner, provided progress updates often and finished the job in record time. We get compliments all the time on the quality of the work and how our kitchen has been completely transformed. He coordinated or did himself all the carpentry, electrical, appliance installation, cabinets, and countertop installation after we approved the plan he drew out for us. I also used him to add a shower to my laundry room, cut down a huge tree in my yard, and put a new face around my fireplace. I would highly recommend Mike for ANY remodeling work you are considering for your house. His prices are competitive too”

    Rich R.

    Kitchen remodel and expansion · HomeAdvisor review

  • “Mike has done my entire unfinished basement and his work ethics and willingness to work with changing design needs is exceptional. Mike's patience and quality of work is exceptional. His only goal is to ensure that customer is happy and he doesn't hesitate to redo things if customer wanted differently. I was very happy with his work and did recommend to a friend who is doing his complete basement. he is very affordable versus some of the crazy quotes we got.”

Questions

Garages in Aurora: FAQs

Do you build garages in Aurora, CO?

Yes. Aurora is about 16 miles north of our base in Parker, CO, well inside our 100-mile service area. We build detached and oversized garages for cars, trucks and storage there, and the quote is free.

Do I need a permit for a garage in Aurora?

Usually. When one is needed, we get it from the city of Aurora inside its limits, or Arapahoe County outside them and build to whatever the permit and inspections require.

Do I need a permit for a detached garage?

Yes. A detached garage needs a building permit from your city or, on unincorporated land, from the county, and many subdivisions also have HOA design review for size, height, colors and placement. Setbacks from lot lines and easements decide where it can sit. We handle the HOA submittal and the permit with your building department.

Metal or post-frame: which is better for a garage?

Both make a strong garage, and the right one depends on your site and how you want to finish it. A steel-framed garage gives wide clear spans on a slab, while a wood post-frame garage is easy to insulate and finish inside. Either way it gets steel siding and roofing in your colors and is engineered for your snow and wind. We can price both on your quote.

Can a new garage match my house?

Yes, as far as steel siding and trim allow. We choose siding and trim colors, wainscot and roof pitch to sit well next to your house, put windows and the walk door where they make sense, and place the garage where it fits the yard and the driveway. If your HOA has rules on materials or colors, we design to them before we submit.

How do you build a garage for Colorado snow, wind and soil?

We engineer every garage for the site it sits on. The roof is designed for your county's ground snow load, which is much higher in places like Monument, Evergreen or Woodland Park than in Brighton or Aurora, and on the plains and the Palmer Divide the frame is anchored and the overhead doors braced for the wind. Under the slab we prepare for expansive clay with over-excavation and a compacted base where needed, footings below frost depth and grading that carries water away.
