What do customers ask about Custom Garage Construction?
Common questions and tips from our work with Lansing customers.
How long before I can park in my new garage?
The concrete slab needs time to cure before it carries vehicle weight. Most slabs are firm enough to walk on within a few days, but standard concrete reaches most of its strength around 28 days, so many builders suggest waiting about a week before parking. We tell you the safe date for your specific slab before the job ends.
Does building a garage require a permit?
In most villages across the southwest Chicago suburbs, yes. A new detached or attached garage usually needs a building permit and at least one inspection, often for the footing and again for the final structure. Requirements vary by town, so we confirm what your village asks for before construction starts and build the structure to pass.
What maintenance does a new garage need each year?
Very little, but a short spring routine protects it. Clear leaves and debris from the gutters, check the overhead door weather seal, and look at the caulk joints where siding meets trim. On the roof, scan for lifted shingles after strong storms. Ten minutes a season keeps water out and keeps the build looking new.
How do I care for the garage floor and slab?
Keep road salt off bare concrete in winter when you can, since repeated freeze and thaw with salt can pit the surface over a few years. Sweep the slab occasionally and reseal it every few years if you want a finished look. If a crack appears, tell us. Hairline settling cracks are common; wide movement is not.
Tip
Winter prep for a new garage
Before the first freeze, disconnect and drain garden hoses near the garage, test the overhead door balance by lowering it by hand, and clear snow away from the garage face rather than piling it against the siding. Snow piled against walls holds moisture against panels and trim through months of freeze and thaw cycles.
