"We had Garage For You build us a detached garage. It turned out great. Ivona handled the permitting process and got the necessary surveys done quickly. The concrete was done quickly and they were clean. The carpenters were fussy about materials used and paid attention to the little things that made it a great job. I would highly recommend Garage For You for your garage needs."

Customers say: True professional

"Frank and the crew we had on our two projects (shower remodel and deck) were great to work with. They were professional, straight forward and helpful during the process. Jason and Miguel were great to work with and always left the work sites clean and tidy at end of the day. Both projects were completed timely and we are super satisfied with the results. We interviewed several contractors and Frank and his crew are the best! We will definitely be using Ultra Source Performance for future projects."

"Remodel went great! Izabela, Wally, and their crews are all very professional and do excellent work. We had already used Chicagoland Remodel for a bathroom remodel and there was no need to look any further when it came to the kitchen. Our project was unique because we live in a loft building that was once a factory. The layout is unique and the team worked with us to make everything just how we want. Walls were taken down, plumbing and gas lines rerouted, cabinets installed, lighting, and more was all done perfectly. We will use again when it comes to our future projects!"

"I have been working with Joe and his Company for about 2 years now. I met him originally on one of my first flip homes in the Des Plaines area. He came on time with his Electrician, HVAC Tech, Plumber, and his carpenters to formulate a working bid on the spot. I was impressed with that from the start. They impressed me as professional and ready to work. <br />   <br /> Since that initial meeting, Joe and the guys have completed several flip homes for me in the Des Plaines, Niles, Morton Grove, Skokie area. They have always been extremely quick with a very high level of Joe's attention to detail. Joe likes to walk through the projects and put the finishing touches on himself as he is very concerned about the final product.  <br />   <br /> Thrifty Nickel did a town home for me in Melrose Park that took only17 days from the time I closed on the purchase to when it was re-listed for sale. Unreal ! The first people through the door madean offer too. That home was a complete Kitchen, Baths and basement was unfinished. In 17 days they finished the basement framing and electrical, Installed new electrical service at the panel, carpeted the home, refinished the wood floors, made the 3 season room a permanent room in the home, did all the tile and trim work, painted the entire home and garage, stained the deck, installed new garage door, Roofed the garage, repaired some siding on the home, Did all the landscaping, Painted the entire interior, customized trim to really make the flooring pop, installed all the appliances in the new kitchen, ran ducting for new fans, etc, etc, etc......... If someone would have seen this foreclosure, they would not have believed 17 days later it would be a stunning new property. <br />   <br /> That is the level of service I grew to expect and was never disappointed by Joe and the guys. The phones are always answered promptly and they tend to my needs in a very expeditious fashion. <br />   <br /> Being a high volume, rapid turn business, I base my business model off the performance of my contractors. I have never had any problems with performance, communication, or level of quality. <br />   <br /> I buy foreclosures and gut them to the studs. Joe and his team come in and turn them into beautiful homes with high end finishes that sell quickly. They perform every aspect of the job and coordinate any outside services. I tell them what I want, and its done. <br />   <br /> I have , and will continue to refer them to everyone I know who needs the services of Thrifty Nickel Handyman. If you are ever in a pickle, Call Joe at Thrifty Nickel !!!  Thanks, Joe. <br />"

"We lost our detached garage in an emotionally charged fire in March of this year. We needed to rebuild as quickly as possible. We searched for garage builders and very few wanted to even show up. Some would only give estimated proposals by email. When a neighbor told us about Steele and Loeber we made a call. Brian showed up the next day personally and walked through the entire build with us. We trusted him so much we signed the contract on the spot. The pricing was reasonable, but the service was great! Brian kept us informed every step of the way. The people doing the concrete, the building and the electrical were quality and willing to communicate. The outcome was superb, and we were thrilled with the garage."

"My wife and I could not be happier with the work and the professionalism of The Concrete Man and his people. We highly recommend them. First, I want to note that my wife and I have done a lot of work on our house over the years, including a complete three-story addition that doubled the living space of our house. We consider ourselves very experienced when it comes to hiring professionals and gauging the quality of their work. This job was straightforward. We needed a 10 foot, octagonal concrete pad placed as a foundation for a gazebo we intended to install. The concrete pad was to be located in the back corner of our property and due to a fence and a detached garage, there was no way to bring equipment back to the exact jobsite. We first met Steve who quoted the job. In spite of the COVID restrictions, he maintained the kind of friendly professionalism that you want to see in a contractor. The quote was ready for us directly, but because of unrelated work on our part, we delayed our acceptance. In fact, we lost the quote and I had to return to Angies List to try to find the contractor again. In spite of the delay, Steve remembered who we were and our project and, in fact, lined our project up with another project in the area for simplicity and efficiency. We needed the pad by a certain date, and he beat that date by a week. The team who arrived to do the work was simply outstanding. They were very attentive to our specific requirements. They were very patient in explaining our options. Finally, once they finished, they performed the single best jobsite cleanup that I have ever witnessed. My backyard was cleaner than it was before they got there. I highly recommend this company. I will hire them again."

"Our sales rep Gary was very helpful. When I met with him about the garage, he mentioned they also do general concrete work. They got us prices quickly on two different options for the concrete layout for the driveway and a garage that would match the house nicely. I feel as a combo we got a great price. <br /> They got all of the permits and handled the inspections. The work was scheduled to when it best worked for us and the had the concrete work done in 3 days, and once it cured built the garage in 2 days. Everything looked great and passed all inspections for the village. Nice doors on the garage and they mounted the ight fixture that i selected to match the house. <br /> We will use them again probably doing another driveway next month. <br />"

"Roof of old garage had collapsed due to snow, we called Johnco company and they responded within 24 hrs. After assessing the garage, they came out once weather was permitting and proceeded to removed the old garage. They built a new garage from the ground up. Mr. Johnco was very much on hand making sure that the job was done to his specifications. All the work was done in a timely manner. <br />"

FAQs for garage building service projects in Gurnee, IL

A well‑constructed, properly permitted detached garage adds between $12,000 and $36,000 to a home’s resale value. Buyers appreciate the secure parking, extra storage, and flexible workspace, so appraisers often bump the property’s value accordingly. The exact return depends on the garage’s size, finishes, and how well it matches the main house, but most homeowners see a strong ROI when the build meets local codes and passes inspection.

Yes—once it meets local building codes and you secure the proper permits, a detached garage can be converted into living space. Finishing the interior, adding climate control, and ensuring safe egress effectively increase your usable square footage, though it may not always count toward the official listing. Skipping permits can trigger fines and even force you to undo the work, so always clear plans with your city first.

Most homeowners policies cover a detached garage under the “other structures” provision, but coverage limits vary. Review your declarations page and ask your agent how much protection you have for separate structures. If the limit is lower than the garage’s replacement cost, you can raise it for a modest premium. Confirming the details now prevents headaches if you ever need to file a claim.
