Custom Detached Garages in Monroe County

 


Sometimes, an attached garage just isn't enough space for your hobbies, tools, or vehicles. Chris C. Wood Construction builds custom detached garages and workshops for homeowners across Monroe County, IL. Whether you need a simple two-car garage for extra storage or a fully insulated workshop with specialized electrical for heavy machinery, we provide the structural expertise to get the job done right.

Our detached buildings are designed to be as durable as they are functional. We handle the entire process, from the concrete slab and framing to the roofing and siding that matches your home perfectly. In more rural areas of Waterloo and Hecker, a detached garage can also serve as a "carriage house" or a hobby space that keeps noise and dust away from the main living quarters.

Need a place for your next big project? We build garages that last for generations. Call us to discuss your storage and workspace needs today.
