Two-Car Garage Plans Offer a Multitude of Special Features

With such a wide variety of two-car garage plans to choose from, it is important to identify how you plan to use your new garage and what features you’ll need to get the most use out of it. For example, if you need extra storage space for your basement or attic overflow, you’ll probably want to select a floor plan that offers a storage loft. Or, if you like working outside in your yard and garden, you might consider a garage with a full bath, so you’ll have a place to clean up without bringing the mess into your home. Below are eight two-car garage plans and a brief description of their special features for you to consider. If you decide to build a detached garage, you may need a few contractors to work on the structure, roofing, flooring, and electrical system. Find a residential roofing contractor that can build the roof according to the design that you approved.
