We’re An Award Winning Remodeling Company
What We Do
Types of Garages We Build in Des Moines, IA
Over the past three years, Zenith has built many customized attached and detached garages, as well as adding garage additions to existing garages. Our work is marked by outstanding craftsmanship and functional design. Our expert team will tailor your garage addition for optimal space from the initial consultation to final finishes.
As custom garage addition builders, we can build the following:
-
One Car Garage Additions
Simple and effective, these additions have room for one vehicle. An attached single garage bump-out addition could provide extra space for a laundry area, storage, or workshop.
-
Two Car Garage Additions
Enhance curb appeal and provide protection for vehicles with 2-car garage additions.
-
Three Car Garage Additions
These are the biggest types of garage additions, with room for vehicles and a large storage or workspace area. 3 Car garage additions increase property value and offer ample room for families to grow.
-
Loft Garages
A detached garage addition offers a parking area on the main level for one to four vehicles and storage space in the form of an upstairs loft, typically accessible by a standard staircase or pull-down stairs.
