Colorado Garages to Extend Hobby Time thru Cold Months

Where can you work on your truck or build that little bench in the wintertime?  Consider building a heated outbuilding.  Heated Colorado garages and workshops can help fulfill all kinds of needs, especially during winter.  Fashion the building exterior, or even the interior, to match or complement existing buildings – from Traditional to Country designs.  This will likely protect both property values and adherence to covenants.

Perhaps you already have an attached garage. Need a place for your RV, a workshop, more storage or a guest apartment?  An extra building custom designed to include space for everything your family needs may be located behind it.  Adding this extra space can save money, too.  A custom building will be able to fulfill needs that may otherwise only be met by spending more on a new property.

Types of Residential Garages

A residential garage is walled and roofed and can be completely insulated.  Most satisfied clients can expect low energy bills and hours of comfortable living with the high-quality buildings engineered by Lester Buildings.  In addition, a custom garage space can be locked to protect muscle cars and other treasures from theft and vandalism.

Residential garages in Colorado are generally one of three types: attached, detached, or connected to homes by breezeways.  Attached garages share one or two walls with the homes.  Detached garages are usually placed a few feet away from homes or deeper in the backyards.

Then, to provide shelter between the detached garages and the homes, occasionally we will find breezeways create protected walkways.  They can be simple roofed walkways or enclosed.  A common architectural design connect a detached garage with a living area above to the main home.  On larger pieces of real estate and on ranches, separate garage outbuildings are often placed farther away, usually near other outbuildings like horse barns.

What Features Do Working Garages Need in Cold Weather

To be able to stay warm during hobby activities taking place in Central Colorado garages, the building needs to be fully insulated, equipped with a source of heat, and ventilated.  Pole barn construction is a very effective way to provide insulated, energy efficient space for vehicles and other activities.

These custom buildings are designed by top engineers.  The builders carefully execute every detail is important — from the first anchor poles and roof pitch, to the insulation on all sides, to the quality of windows and doors and down to each screw and board.
