"After demolishing our 100-year-old barn in the fall of 2018, we hired Jan to build a 30’ x 40’ garage in the spring/summer of 2019. We had extensive fill put on the new building site in the fall. Jan was anxious to begin in the spring, but waited until conditions were right for being sure the fill was compacted correctly. (Spring 2019 was super rainy.) Every aspect of the building was done with quality work. We used LP Smartside siding. The two men that installed the siding did a meticulous job; the caulking was awesome. Everything else was put together professionally. We received lots of comments like “You have a good builder.” Several even commented on how neatly the electrical wires were installed. In addition to the garage foundation, Nate Werner and crew put in a large concrete driveway with sidewalk and parking slab. The road is a little higher than the garage, but Nate designed the driveway so the water runs away from the garage. Once Jan was able to start building, the garage was pretty much completed in three weeks. Jan is very good about returning messages—always within 24 hours. We know nothing about building, so Jan also gave us good advice about some things we didn’t know. Working with Jan and his crew was a great experience."

"Work went fine. Took a few days extra, but that was due to the heat in the 90's. Good quality work. Looks nice. Final cost was lower than the Proposal ! That has never happened to me before, so it was nice that they passed those savings on instead of hiding it somewhere else like others. Project manager is good at stopping by and answering any questions. I only have to deal with one person, which I like. This is my second job for them, and I've already got a quote for another. <br />"

"I worked with Isaac. He was super attentive and responsive the entire time. The price was very reasonable. They were able to complete the job in one day. They did have to come back and clean the yard again, but they did a good job on the second pass. In their defense, it was dark when they cleaned up the first time. I was happy with the work and the customer service."

"Everything went extremely well. Kris made suggestions which we incorporated to save time and therefore keep the cost estimate as low as possible. I was very pleased to find the staff at Menard's think of Kris as a top contractor (which I now also think he is) . Because I had a contractor, there were no delivery charges for the materials kit, so I suggest others work with a contractor if possible. <br /> From my basic siting of the garage, Kris set up the basics of the grade changes and Brian Niemi verified the lines and did excavation, grading, and fill for the concrete work. In 3 days the concrete was completed, including our names, the date, and our dog's paw prints. Two weeks later, after allowing the concrete to cure, Kris and his crew of Leroy and Chris, started construction. In 3 days, Johnson Construction was done and paid. I admit it took me a lot longer to finish the project by doing the wiring and installing the siding! <br /> Kris is a rather quiet guy; Leroy is more outgoing, and Chris is REALLY quiet! But they are really great - fast, efficient, and very skilled. I give Johnson Construction an absolute top rating. They far exceed my expectations and l unequivocally recommend them! <br />"

"The good: he finished the job (sort of) The bad: He wasn't aware of building codes (for a safe deck) e.g. I had to personally micromanage for proper support of post bracing. Also, I had to point out the posts weren't plumb (very bad) which he sort of fixed. Did not properly space spindles on railing (for a safe deck) He used warped or inferior lumber in places where it's most visible. Left pencil markings (calculation, etc) all over the wood. Think he overcharged me on building materials. He took forever. I could go on. Keep in mind there was no permit for the job. But otherwise he did ok for a guy working by himself /sarcasm. Hack"

"To Expert House Movers <br /> We wanted to let you know just how pleased we are with the work you did on our house. Before we contacted you, we had several other contractors look at our home. We actually had hired another contractor, who took such a long time, never returned our calls, missed meetings, and took months to even get us our bid. And when that contractor did get us our bid, it was more than doubled our previously discussed budget!  <br /> That is when we called you, you came out immediately, was extremely professional, but more importantly, you had a personal interaction with both me and my wife throughout the entire process. You answered all our phone calls, all of our questions, and talked with us throughout the entire process. We felt extremely confident and assured through the entire lift. This house is our dream house and we are going to live in it until we die, and you knew how much it meant to us, and you took care of it as if it were your own. <br /> As you know, my wife ended up in the hospital with some complications with her surgery while you were working on our home, and you took such great care of our house. You knew she was very disappointed that she could not be there, as she designed the foundation window placements and had a big part in the doors and steps. Your crew was so kind and so professional and meticulous, that they knew that two particular windows were very important to my wife.  Your crew wanted to get them perfect and asked me some questions about them, that I could not answer. My wife was feeling better, but still in the hospital, and I called her on the phone, while your crew waited for me, as she and I discussed for several minutes the exact placement of the windows. Some minor changes had to be made and your crew could have easily just slapped the two windows in the new location, which was only slightly off of the original plan, and be done with it, but they stopped and pointed out where my wife originally wanted them and the new location difference and wanted to be sure that my wife understood the change, and wanted me to talk to my wife first. I was so very impressed that they made the adjustments on the spot that my wife suggested over the phone. I don’t think any other company would have gone through this much trouble to please their customers! <br /> You also were very respectful of our property, neighbors, and your crew were always very willing to stop and explain the process of what was going to happen next. Not one time did we ever feel like we were in your way. Actually, it was the opposite, we felt like you and your crew were very excited to show us your equipment and how it worked and actually wanted us around so we could see how it all worked and so we could see for ourselves how everything was perfect - and it was! <br /> We will always remember you and think of you so highly. Thank you for making the beginning our home building so easy and off to such a perfect start. There are so many things that can go wrong when redoing a home, and having it go off with such a perfect start gives us such great hope. You have certainly set bar very high for the other contractors that will be coming in for the other parts of the home! Your company and its crew should be very proud of its work. You do a job that is very difficult, complex and tedious, but you do it with care, expertise, and perfection. We actually miss you guys and wish you were around. You are like family to us. We only wish we could rate your service and staff A++ , if there were such a rating. <br /> All our best and blessings, <br /> Randy and Elizabeth <br />"

FAQs for garage building service projects in Manitowoc, WI

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.
