"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 />"

"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"

"Expert House Movers brought a crew of 6-8 & came in late August 2013 to start the process of raising & moving the house.  My husband had done all the prep work of disconnecting the utilities & removing the furnace, etc. They dug access ramps to the old foundation/basement with bobcats.  They poked good sized holes around the foundation so they could put in steel beams and jack up the house.  Our foundation was from 1917 & built from old creek gravel cement, so it was pretty tough.  It took three & half days to jack the house & move it over the driveway.  It seemed really fast to me.  The only thing to fall in the house was a picture off the piano.  We still had access to the house through a tall ladder to get clothes, etc. that we needed. <br /> We took over the process of arranging excavation, concrete pouring, and carpenters with more local contractors.  Expert does have concrete people & others they use in the St Louis area that know exactly the requirements needed for the new foundation. <br /> After the basement was poured & cured (curing takes about 3-4 weeks), Expert returned in October 2013 to move & set the house.  They had been in contact with the concrete man for specifications, but there were no slots for the beams when setting the house down.  A concrete worker had to come & cut those slots.  We had a carpenter on hand to finish the sill installment & make sure the sills for the permanent beams was correct & set the support posts in the basement.  We also had a friend's tractor help Expert's bobcat pull the house back over the foundation.  While all this was going on, Expert was jacking and moving supports & placing slider beams & raising & lowering the house.  The process was complete in about 2 1/2 days with care & precision.  Some of the cracks in our house even disappeared.  Great job guys. <br /> Our carpenters returned to build a staircase & some other requirements.  We are working on re-connecting utilities & returning the furnace, water heater, etc. to the new basement.  We plan to move back into the house in the first week or so in November 2013.  It's been a long process, but well worth it.  Made possible by Expert House Movers! <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.
