More Than a Place to Park

A well-built detached garage does more than shelter a vehicle. It creates storage, workspace, and flexibility that many homes simply were not designed with. Whether you need room for vehicles, equipment, a workshop, or all three, Keep The Faith Contracting designs and constructs garages sized and configured to fit how you actually use your property.

Built for Minnesota's Demanding Climate

Every detached garage from Keep The Faith Contracting is built using durable materials and proven construction methods designed to hold up against freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow loads, and everything else the seasons bring.

One of the biggest frustrations homeowners face is the disconnect between the designer and the builder. With Keep The Faith Contracting, your designer and your builder are the same team. That means design decisions are made with real construction knowledge, and nothing gets lost in translation when the project moves from planning to build.

You will have a single point of contact from your first design meeting through the final walkthrough, which keeps communication clear and timelines on track.

Frequently Asked Questions About Detached Garages

  • Do I need a permit to build a detached garage?

    In most cities across the West Metro, yes. Requirements vary by municipality and by the size and use of the structure. Keep The Faith Contracting handles the permitting process directly so you do not have to research local codes yourself.

  • Can you match the garage to the style of my existing home?

    Yes. Many homeowners want their detached garage to blend with their home's siding, roofline, and trim. We will review those options with you during your consultation and build the structure to match.

  • How big can a detached garage be?

    Size is largely determined by your lot, local zoning requirements, and how you plan to use the space. We will walk your property and help you find the largest practical footprint that fits both your needs and local code.

  • Can I add electrical or a workshop setup to my garage?

    Absolutely. Many homeowners build in electrical, lighting, and workshop-ready features from the start. If you are unsure what you will need down the road, it is worth discussing during planning, since some additions are far easier to include upfront than to retrofit later.

  • How long does it take to build a detached garage?

    Timelines depend on size, site conditions, and finish level, but most detached garage projects move efficiently once permits are secured. We will give you a project-specific timeline during your consultation.
