"Our goal was to build a structurally safe garage storage loft. Juan and Julian were a great team to work with. They were very professional and organized- they gave us a quote and clearly communicated what the plan would look like from beginning to end. They guided us on the items that we needed to buy prior to starting the work in order to complete the project within the estimated time. They suggested modifications that were minor fixes but made the layout make more sense in terms of placement. Their crew finished a day ahead of schedule. They kept a clean work site and the quality of the results were great. I would gladly work with them on another home project in the future!"

"Called for an estimate for an older garage door. When he arrived, he would not approach the house I had to get his attention inside his truck. His visit took 20 minutes. He took a very brief look at the door, took a couple measurements, said door is non repairable and was quick to ask for the 70 dollar service fee, leaving me the only option to pay for a full door replacement for 8k with no other solution or even interest in fixing the door. The lady on the phone made it seem plausible you get service fee reduced if repairs could be made. He just did not have any interest or make any effort in repairing the door or reducing the service fee even though he only glanced at it. Quite a hefty fee for 350 dollars an hour for a door assessment. I do not recommend this business."

"The salesperson said they need payment in full before installing and checks only. I trusted him and the company but then they never showed up and they kept my deposits. The installer cursed me out for a mistake on the order that he made and then they never contacted me. The owner has cashed the checks and I sent confirmation of the deposited checks. This place is a scam."

FAQs for garage building service projects in Santa Cruz, CA

Building a garage requires a timeline of six to eight weeks from the permit approval stage until final finishes are installed. This period covers obtaining permits, procuring materials, and the actual construction. Delays in material shipments, contractor scheduling, or permit processing can extend the build time. The overall project timeline is also influenced by the garage’s size and design complexity, such as whether you’re adding a living space. 

Building a garage with a living space, like a suite or apartment, costs $125 to $250 per square foot in addition to the cost of the garage. This adds another $60,000 to $270,000 to the total project cost and includes the design, enhanced finishes, specialized plumbing, and electrical work needed for a functional apartment or suite.

Prefab garage kits can be a cost-effective solution for basic storage needs, with prices ranging from $4,000 to $11,000 (excluding labor and permits). However, they may not add significant value to your home and might not last as long as a custom-built garage. For long-term value and durability, investing in a custom garage is the better choice.

A garage is a fully enclosed structure with walls, a roof, and a locking door. It often includes electricity, insulation, plumbing, and HVAC. A garage offers secure, sheltered parking and can increase your home's value. A carport is a semi-open structure with a roof (and sometimes walls) that provides basic protection from the elements. However, it is less secure and has less impact on the value of the home.

Concrete flooring is the most popular option for a garage. It offers an extremely durable and low-maintenance surface that withstands the weight of vehicles and heavy items. Concrete provides a solid base for additional treatments and serves as an excellent foundation if homeowners choose to upgrade the appearance or convert the space for alternative uses.
