When you invest in a detached garage, you are adding more than square footage—you are adding a functional asset designed to support how your property operates today and how it may evolve in the future. Because a detached garage is a standalone structure, it gives you freedom from the structural and layout limitations of attached garages. This allows you to position the building strategically on your lot, separate activities, and design the space around real operational needs rather than existing floor plans.
Across Utah, detached garages are used by homeowners, property managers, and municipalities to improve safety, expand usable storage, and protect valuable equipment from harsh seasonal conditions. Whether your goal is on-site storage, workspace separation, or long-term property value, a detached garage offers practical advantages that adapt to residential, commercial, and public environments.
For homeowners and new home owners in Utah, a detached garage provides flexibility that supports both daily living and future planning. By separating vehicle storage and equipment from the main residence, you reduce exposure to fumes, noise, and fire-related risks. This physical separation improves indoor air quality and creates a safer home environment, especially when storing fuel-powered tools, lawn equipment, or recreational vehicles.
A detached garage also acts as a functional buffer zone. You can work with power tools, maintain vehicles, or operate hobby equipment without transmitting vibration or sound into living spaces. From a design standpoint, detached garages allow your home’s architecture to remain the visual focal point, avoiding garage-dominant street views and improving curb appeal.
For apartment complexes and multi-unit properties, detached garages are a proven tool for increasing revenue and tenant retention. Offering private, lockable garages as optional lease upgrades creates a high-margin income stream while meeting a growing demand for secure storage and covered parking.
From a property maintenance perspective, detached garages also help reduce liability. Physical separation limits the potential impact of vehicle fires, chemical storage incidents, or mechanical failures, protecting residential buildings and occupants. This separation supports safer site planning and simplifies risk management strategies.
Detached garages help your property stand out by offering:
In competitive Utah rental markets, these advantages directly support occupancy stability and long-term asset value.
Municipalities and public agencies rely on detached garages to support efficient operations and responsible asset management. These structures provide secure, centralized locations for fleet vehicles, maintenance equipment, and seasonal tools used by city departments, parks services, and public works teams.
Because detached garages do not need to integrate with office buildings, they can be placed strategically within utility yards, parks, or service zones. This placement minimizes visual impact on public-facing spaces while keeping equipment accessible and organized. Protecting vehicles and tools from weather exposure also extends service life and reduces replacement costs.
Across Utah, detached garages support:
On rural properties and large acreage lots, a detached garage often functions as a multi-purpose operations building. These properties typically require storage solutions that exceed the limitations of standard residential garages. High-clearance doors, extended bay depths, and reinforced floors allow you to house tractors, boats, RVs, trailers, and specialty equipment securely on-site.
Detached garages on rural land are also well-suited for mixed-use environments. You can designate clean areas for equipment storage or climate-sensitive assets while maintaining separate zones for welding, engine repair, or agricultural processing. Insulated and climate-controlled options are frequently used to protect vintage vehicles, tools, or mechanical systems from Utah’s temperature swings.
For property owners managing land, livestock, or equipment-heavy operations, detached garages support organization, workflow efficiency, and asset protection without impacting the main residence.
A-Shed includes a monolithic footing/slab concrete foundation on all standard garage pricing. Larger buildings and more custom structures may require additional concrete foundation work. Our standard services include an onsite visit to determine if what you are looking to build can be accomplished in your city/municipality. We charge a small permit fee for the leg work of pulling the necessary permits, providing standard plans, creating site plans, and calling for the inspections to finalize the work as a licensed contractor. Not included in the base cost are the actual cost of the permit (varies from area to area), concrete pumps (as needed), paint (price depends on types of sidings) or any other additional fees for city requirements or nonstandard plans.
A-SHED standard garages include an 18″ monolithic footing and floor slab. This consists of a 12″x 18″ footing around the perimeter and a 4″ floor slab. The footings have (2) #4 rebar. In some circumstances, such as attached garages and out of level areas, a 30″ Monolithic footing or a 3-pour footing and foundation may be required. 30″ monolithic footings / 3-pour footing and foundations are not included in the standard pricing and is an upgrade. A 3-pour will generally consist of a 10″x 20″ footing to start, and then a 8″x 2′-4′ foundation wall. Interior floor is generally poured with a slight slope for drainage.
