Here are a few photos of before and completed footings for a 16 x 20 detached garage in Powhatan County Virginia.

Footing trenchs for the garage were excavated to a minimum depth of 18″ and 20″ in width.

Concrete was placed in footings that met 3000 psi and a 8″ thickness.

This garage will have a brick and block foundation and will be framed with 2 x 4 walls and 10/12 storage trusses.

We will be installing matching vinyl siding, trim and dimensional shingles to match the home.

Check back soon as we will have foundation photos posted soon.

On this project we removed the existing siding, garage door and man door. We framed up the openings with conventional framing.

We will be installing a new thru the wall unit HVAC with remote control and reconfiguring the existing light placement in the garage as well. Most of the walls were already had insulationand sheetrock so we will be adding the necessary insulation and adding a new sheetrock veneer.

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.
