Got Questions? We've Got Answers

Are side entry garages more expensive?
Side entry garages can cost more than standard front-entry garages because they may require different door placement, wider layouts, additional framing, and custom design work. However, pricing depends on the garage size, roof style, number of doors, windows, certification, and location. Garage Buildings provides custom quotes with free delivery and installation included.
What are the cons of side mount garage door openers?
Side mount garage door openers can cost more upfront than standard ceiling-mounted openers. They also need enough side clearance beside the garage door, a compatible torsion spring system, and proper installation. They are a good option for high ceilings or overhead storage, but they may not fit every garage setup.
What kind of door is best for the side of the garage?
The best side garage door depends on how you plan to use the space. For vehicles, a roll-up or sectional garage door is best. For everyday entry, a walk-in steel door is useful. Many side entry garages combine multiple roll-up doors with a walk-in door and windows for easier access, parking, storage, and workshop use.
What’s the average cost to build a 24x24 garage?
A 24x24 garage cost depends on whether it is wood, metal, attached, detached, insulated, finished, or custom-built. Traditional garage builds can cost much more because of labor, foundation, framing, electrical, permits, and finishing. A prefab metal 24x24 garage is usually more affordable and faster to install. Garage Buildings provides custom 24x24 garage quotes with free delivery and installation included.
Do side entry garages require permits?
Permit requirements depend on your city, county, state, garage size, foundation, anchoring, zoning, setbacks, and intended use. Because side entry garages are enclosed structures, many areas require a building permit. Always check with your local building department before installation.

"Living in Florida, I needed something that could handle hurricane winds. My 24x26 garage is wind-certified to 150 mph and survived Hurricane season without any issues. Peace of mind is priceless. The rent-to-own option made it affordable too."

Jennifer ClarkeTampa, FL · Metal Garages · Mar 2024

"The RV garage is tall enough for our Class A motorhome with room to spare. The 14-foot clearance is perfect. Installation was smooth and the crew was courteous. Being local to their headquarters, they were extra responsive."
