Standard Detached Garage Projects
Basic detached garage for laned homes, or homes with side yard driveway access to the back.
Standard detached garages are the most common type of garage. They are separate from the home, and most often accessed from a back lane. Standard garages are typically used for storing vehicles, sporting good, and/or yard equipment, but the options are near limitless! We can build a basic detached garage to any custom size to fit your lot or requirements. The size of the garage will depend on the number of vehicles that require parking and any other equipment you plan to store inside.
Standard detached garages typically have 1 double overhead door (for 2 car garages) and 1 man door. They may also have windows; we commonly use 4 ft x 3ft picture or slider windows. Most of our standard detached garages are finished to ‘lock up’; meaning there is no interior finishing, just open framing and the required electrical outlets and lights. However, if you’d like to insulate, board, finish the interior (like your home) and heat the garage, we can get this done for you as well.
Standard garages are a good option for people who need a basic place to store their car or other vehicles, or a covered work space. They are relatively affordable and easy to maintain.
Here are some of the benefits of standard garages:
- Affordability: Standard garages are typically more affordable than other types of garages.
- Ease of maintenance: Standard garages are relatively easy to maintain. We pride ourselves on maintaining maintenance free exteriors.
- Versatility: Standard garages can be used for a variety of purposes, such as storing cars, boats, motorcycles, or other vehicles. They can also be used for hobbies, such as woodworking or car repair.
Standard garages are a good option for people who need a basic place to store their car or other vehicles. They are affordable, easy to maintain, and versatile. If you are considering buying or building a garage, be sure to consider a standard garage.

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.
