Get A QuoteWhat We Build
Every property and budget is different, so we tailor each project to how you actually plan to use the space. Our garage and shop construction services include:
- Attached garages that tie seamlessly into your home's roofline, siding, and foundation
- Detached garages for extra vehicles, storage, or a clean separation from the house
- Workshops and hobby shops wired and insulated for year-round use
- Pole-frame and post-frame buildings for cost-effective, wide-open interior space
- RV garages and oversized bays with tall doors and generous clearances
Our Construction Process
We keep the build organized and transparent from first conversation to final walkthrough:
- Consultation and design — we discuss size, use, doors, and site conditions
- Permitting — we handle plans and coordinate with Spokane County or City of Spokane
- Site prep and foundation — excavation, grading, and a properly poured concrete slab
- Framing and structure — stick-frame or post-frame, engineered for local snow load
- Enclosure and finishes — roofing, siding, doors, insulation, and interior details
Foundations & Concrete Slabs
A garage or shop is only as sound as what it sits on. We pour reinforced concrete slabs with proper thickness, drainage, and frost considerations so your structure resists the freeze-thaw movement that defines Inland Northwest winters. Correct site grading also keeps snowmelt and runoff moving away from your building for years of stable performance.
Insulation, Doors & Year-Round Comfort
If you want to work in your shop through a Spokane January, insulation matters. We can build with insulated walls and ceilings, insulated overhead doors, and provisions for heating so the space stays usable in the coldest months. We install quality overhead doors sized to your vehicles, plus man-doors, windows, and ventilation to match how you live and work.
Materials & Options
We build with durable, proven materials suited to our climate — engineered framing lumber, metal or composite roofing, and low-maintenance siding options such as fiber-cement or metal panel. You choose the finishes and layout; we make sure every component is specified to handle snow load, wind, and temperature swings without compromise.
Why Choose Stonegate Builders
As a licensed, bonded, and insured Spokane general contractor, we bring craftsmanship and precision to every garage and shop we build. We understand local permitting, inspections, and the way Inland Northwest weather tests a structure. Our masonry and stonework background means we care about the details others skip — from a square, level slab to clean, weather-tight finishes. We build to last and communicate clearly the whole way through.
Local Considerations for Spokane-Area Builds
Building in Spokane County means designing for real snow accumulation, cold-weather concrete practices, and energy efficiency that pays off through long heating seasons. We also account for the insulation values and air sealing that help keep utility costs in check through the region's long, cold winters. We plan roof pitch, structural loading, and drainage with our winters in mind, and we coordinate the required inspections so your project stays on track and code-compliant.

Garage & Shop Construction FAQs
Yes. Stonegate Builders serves the greater Spokane area and the Inland Northwest, including Spokane Valley, Liberty Lake, Mead, Cheney, Deer Park, and nearby communities. We are familiar with local permitting and the regional climate, so wherever your property sits in the area, we can plan a garage or shop that meets local requirements and holds up to our weather.
We typically pour a reinforced concrete slab with proper thickness, drainage, and frost considerations suited to Inland Northwest conditions. Correct site grading directs snowmelt and runoff away from the building, and cold-weather concrete practices protect the pour during colder months. This foundation approach helps your garage or shop resist the freeze-thaw movement common to Spokane-area winters.
We can. For attached and detached garages alike, we coordinate roofline, siding, trim, and color so the new structure complements your home rather than standing out. Our attention to detail and craftsmanship helps the addition look intentional and cohesive, whether you want a close match or a complementary style that fits your property.
Yes. We design RV garages and oversized bays with the height and depth your vehicle needs, including tall overhead doors and generous clearances for slide-outs, ladders, and rooftop accessories. We plan the slab, framing, and door sizing around your specific RV or equipment so everything fits and functions the way you expect.
Timelines vary with size, design complexity, permitting, weather, and material availability. Site prep and the concrete slab come first, followed by framing, enclosure, and finishes. We give you a realistic schedule during planning and keep you updated at each phase. Building in Spokane also means we plan around seasonal weather so work progresses safely and correctly.
Absolutely. If you want to work through an Inland Northwest winter, we build with insulated walls, ceilings, and overhead doors, and we include provisions for your chosen heating source. Proper insulation and air sealing make a real difference in comfort and energy efficiency during Spokane's long cold season, keeping the space usable no matter the temperature outside.
A pole-frame (post-frame) building uses large posts set into or on the foundation to carry the structure, which allows wide, open interiors and often a lower cost for large spans. A stick-framed garage uses conventional wall framing on a continuous foundation and integrates easily with a home's look. We build both and help you choose based on use, budget, and how the building fits your property.
Yes. Detached and attached garages and shops generally require a building permit through Spokane County or the City of Spokane, depending on your location. Permits cover structural, setback, and sometimes electrical requirements. As a licensed general contractor, Stonegate Builders prepares the plans, submits for permitting, and coordinates the required inspections so your project stays code-compliant from start to finish.
Cost depends on the size, whether the garage is attached or detached, the door and window count, insulation level, and site conditions such as grading and slab requirements. A simple detached single-bay garage sits at the lower end, while a large insulated shop or RV garage costs more. We provide a detailed, itemized estimate after reviewing your site and goals so you know exactly what is included.
