Garage Construction

When it comes to garages, there are a variety of different types to choose from. The type of garage that is right for you will depend on your needs and budget.

Standard Detached or ‘Cookie Cutter’ Garage

Our bread an butter. We love these projects because we’re so good at them, and can get them done faster than anyone else in town! A standard detached garage is your basic gable or cottage garage that you see every day in laned communities. These are typically the most cost efficient garage projects. Standard garage sizes include:

  • Single car garage: 12 – 18 feet wide and 8 – 10 wall height*
  • Two car garage: 20 – 28 feet wide and 8 – 10 wall height*
  • Three car garage: 30 ft + wide and 8 – 10 wall height*
* The height of your garage may be restricted by you municipal by-laws. We may be limited in height, or could possibly build a taller wall height pending the location for the project.

High End Custom or Estate Garage

Live in an Estate community with Archtectual Controls? Want to match your garage to your home. Or just looking for a ‘man cave’ to surpass all man caves? You have come to the right place.

We have a long history of building high end Custom or Estate garages. We’ll match the exterior of you home, or work on a new design with you to compliment what you already have.

If you’re looking for a place to work on your car, build furniture, or do other DIY projects, install a lift(s); perhaps a larger custom shop is a great option for yourself. We do it all. These garages typically have plenty of storage space and workbenches, so you can have everything you need right at your fingertips.

If you’re looking for a more relaxed space, watch TV, or entertain guests, a man cave garage is a great choice. These garages can be decorated with your favorite sports team’s memorabilia, video game consoles, or other items that reflect your interests.

No matter what your needs or interests are, we can accommodate your custom build. Gecko Projects can create a space that is both functional and stylish.

Carriage Home or Suited Garages

An Carriage Home is a type of residential property that includes both an apartment and a garage. Also know as Suited Garage. This type of property can be a good option for people who want the convenience of living close to work or other activities, but who also need a place to store their car or other vehicles. Carriage homes typically have a smaller footprint than stand-alone homes, but they can still offer a comfortable living space. The apartment portion of the property may include one or more bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a living area. The garage portion of the property can be used to store cars, boats, motorcycles, or other vehicles.

Here are some of the benefits of living in an apartment garage:

  • Convenience: Added living space close to your home, without giving up additional yard space.
  • Affordability: Carriage homes in most scenarios will be more affordable to build than stand-alone homes.
  • Flexibility: Carriage homes can be a good option for people who need a flexible living space, such as students, young professionals, or empty nesters.

We had Gecko come in to modify and complete our current garage. Derrick gave us a full quote with all the pricing broken down to make it clear what we were paying for. He gave us a full timeline and pointed out areas where there could potentially be delays. Derrick was very involved and always knew what was going on, he’s an excellent project manager. He was often on site checking on crews and was always available if we had questions. I never once was at a point where I said to my self ‘hmm I better check and see what’s going on’ because we were always updated and always knew what was happening and when. We had an unexpected delay due to city electrical inspections taking forever, but Derrick called us right away to explain and give us our options. Prior to the project starting, we had a flood and we gave Derrick a heads up on it, and he even made the time to come down and make sure that what work we had planned wouldn’t make the situation worse. We were very stressed about it but he helped ease our minds. We were very pleased with Derrick and all the trades he brought in. Even our neighbours commented several times what great guys they were. No complaints at all. Thanks Derrick!

I wanted a garage on my weird lot, and had no idea where to start or what I was doing. I was provided a variety of options and their pros and cons. Every step of the way I was informed and all my questions answered. All the work was done on time, by people who were clearly enjoyed and were proud of the their work. You will not be disappointed with Gecko Projects.

I recently had the pleasure of hiring this building company to construct a car garage for me, and I am delighted to share my experience with their exceptional service. From start to finish, the team exhibited a remarkable level of professionalism, efficiency, and expertise that surpassed my expectations. One of the most impressive aspects of this building company was their incredible speed. They wasted no time in getting the project underway, and the construction process was completed in a remarkably short period. Despite the quick turnaround, there was absolutely no compromise on the quality of workmanship or attention to detail.

We built our garage three months short of five years ago. We haven’t had any issues, until today. The spring on a garage door broke trapping my car in the garage. I called Derrick, and with in two hours he had a very polite man here to assess my issue and free my vehicle. The service technician has plans to have the spring fixed within the next few days. I am in absolute shock that it was this easy to deal with this company. There was no arguing, there was no blaming, he just checked his system confirmed that it was still under warranty and had a solution. If you want a quality garage built to last with great customer service these are your guys.

Was looking for a garage builder and contacted a few companies. Derrick at Gecko projects instantly stood out from the rest with their quoting process, knowledge and professionalism. Their price was competitive with others and the quality of the result I got was top notch. Derrick was able to provide me with insight in the design of the garage as well as noteworthily upgrades that would suit my workplace perfectly. They worked around all our home builder issues and took care of every aspect of the garage build. Being a project manager for my regular job it was quite relaxing letting Derrick and the team handle the job from start to finish. The garage was built on time, quickly and properly. All the guys were friendly and cleaned up after themselves each day. Will use Gecko projects for my next garage and highly recommend them to anyone who wants a quality garage build.
