The exterior is also ready for a veneer inspection all walls have been covered with TYPAR house wrap and all windows and doors have both head and sill flashing as well as sealant tape around the perimeter.

New roof has been installed

Here are some photos of a completed attached garage here in Richmond Va. The garage is 16′ x 24′ and has an attached breezeway. We removed 1 tree the existing fence and dug footings to a depth of 24″ and placed 3000 psi concrete in trench.

We used a brick and block design which included a stem wall for the foundation, due to the age of the foundation we used a blend of 3 different bricks to achieve the original look. Framing was done with pressure treated plates and 2 x 4′s spaced at 16″ on center and a braced wall design. We used 4/12 trusses for the roof to match the front porch area on the home. Shingles are an asphalt base and have a 25 year warranty. The siding is a matching dutch lap cream colored siding and matching white vinyl, aluminum cornice and seamless gutters.

The window is an all vinyl new construction double hung with contour grids and half screens. The garage has 2 man doors and 1- 12′ insulated garage door with decorative accent glass and an automatic garage door opener. The electrical package starts with a 60 Amp sub panel that is supplied from the original panel from the home and has a variety of switches, lighting and outlets. The interior of the garage has 5/8″ 1 hour rated sheetrock on the house side as a fire-block.

We poured a broom finished concrete floor with a gravel base and also removed and added some area to the driveway. Finally we added topsoil, grass seed and reinstalled the split rail fence.

Garage is a 30 x 30 with a 12′ ceiling height for a car lift that will be installed later. Permits were filed for and approved in Chesterfield Co. Virginia. Our first step after permitting was to remove 12 trees and stumps from the construction area. We then dug footings to a depth of 2′ minimum. Concrete blocks were installed and the exterior was parged with mortar for a stucco effect. Framing of the walls and setting of the 10/12 box room trusses was completed in a few days. Vinyl double hung widows were installed and flashed to code.  The exterior was covered in Typar house wrap and Certainteed straight lap vinyl siding was install on the entire building along with aluminum cornice on all trim boards. Shingles are asphalt based 3-tab Owens Corning with a 25 year warranty.The electrical package included ceiling fans, 8′ fluorescent lighting and 220 leads for both welder and the motor of the car lift. The concrete floor has a 4″ gravel base and 4″ thickness on the feild and 8″ depth at the mounting point for the car lift. Please feel free to ask questions or call us for your future projects.

Trusses have been set and the roof sheathing is ready for shingles. We also have applied the vapor barrier for the Charter Oak Revere vinyl siding and aluminum trim to match the home.

Attached garage footing have been dug and concrete poured.

Garage foundation is completed and the framing is going up.

These are some progress photos of an attached garage that is at the framing stage. We dug the footings last Tuesday (9 days ago) and since then we have poured the concrete, installed the brick and block foundation using the braced wall designs set forth by the Va uniform building code, placed the gravel base for the concrete slab in the interior and have framed up the exterior 2 x 4 walls. Trusses were  set on Thursday and the roof will be applied this weekend. Please check back as we will be updating this and other projects daily.

Vinyl siding is being installed on 30 x 30 garage

We have now completed over half of the vinyl siding on this garage project. The siding on the garage is double 5 straight lap siding from Certainteed Building Products. The fascia and rake boards are PVC coated aluminum and match the newly installed siding.

Final photo of attached carport

Underside photo of carport

The attached carport was built with pressure treated post and conventional framing. Cornice work on the garage is matching cedar with seamless guttering. Roof materials for the existing home and carport are IKO dimensional 30 year shingles (http://www.iko.com). We installed an electrical package from D & D wiring that included two overhead dusk to dawn lights for the ceiling. Ceiling materials are solid vinyl soffit provided by Norandex Building Materials (http://www.norandex.com). The broom finished concrete for the carport was installed by OTG custom concrete (www.otgcustomconcrete.com). Finally we installed 6 x 6 at perimeter where the existing grade had to be altered for water drainage on the new concrete slab. Contact us for a free estimate on your carport or other projects.
