A garage is one of the few additions that pays back in more than one way. It gets vehicles out of the weather, moves the clutter out of the basement, and adds square footage a buyer can actually see. Getting there means footings below the frost line, a slab poured at the right thickness, framing that carries a roof through Pennsylvania winters, and siding and trim that match the house rather than announcing themselves. We handle all of it with our own crews, which is why the finish lines up with the original build instead of looking bolted on.
Garages Any Size, Styled to Match Your Home
- We design and construct garages at any size, from a single bay to a three-car footprint with a workshop bay, built to complement the architecture of your home rather than compete with it. Roof pitch, siding profile, window placement, and trim details all get matched to what is already there.
- Choose from a range of styles and materials that fit your property rather than fighting it. Vinyl, board and batten, stone accents, shingle or metal roofing, carriage-style or sectional doors, and window packages that bring light in without giving up the wall space you need for storage.
One-Story and Two-Story Garages
- Create additional space with one-story garages for straightforward parking and storage, or two-story garages when the footprint you have will not stretch any further. Going up instead of out keeps more of the yard intact and often sits easier inside local setback limits.
- Customize the layout to include a workspace, storage loft, or finished living area above. Anything intended as living space gets built to the code that applies to habitable rooms, covering stairs, egress, insulation, and the separate permitting some townships require before framing starts.
Attached and Detached Garages
- Attached garages give you direct access to the house, which matters most in January. They also bring fire separation and structural tie-in requirements, so an attached build always needs a permit and a connection detailed properly at the wall and roofline.
- Detached garages free up the space around the house and stand on their own as a feature. They give you more freedom on placement, orientation, and size, though setback and lot coverage rules still decide where the structure can legally sit.
Custom-Built Garage Additions
- Extend an existing garage or the house itself with a custom-built garage addition. We tie new framing into old, match the roofline, and carry siding and trim across the join so the addition reads as part of the original structure.
- Add storage capacity, another vehicle bay, or a proper workspace. Most people underestimate depth rather than width, so we talk through what actually goes in the space, vehicles, mowers, benches, shelving, before anything gets dimensioned on paper.
Key services
Custom Garages Design Consultation
The design consultation is where most of the decisions that matter get made. UDA Services runs it on site in Lykens, PA, walking the property with you before anything gets drawn. Whether you want an addition that complements your home’s architecture or a practical space built around your storage needs, the conversation covers placement, size, access, and how the structure sits against setbacks and grade. From there we work through the design, maximize space efficiency, and land on something that adds real value to the property. You get a written quote with a schedule attached. One visit, no cost.
Personalized
A consultation built around your requirements rather than a template, covering how you will use the space, what has to fit inside, and your design direction.
Maximizing space
Guidance on getting the most out of the footprint, including bay depth, door placement, overhead storage, and whether a loft earns its place in the build.
Creative design
Design solutions that blend with the house instead of standing apart from it, matching roof pitch, siding, window style, and trim to what is already there.
Quality
Craftsmanship you can inspect, with footings set below frost depth, a properly poured slab, square framing, and a workmanship warranty on the finished build.
FAQs
Questions that come up most when people are pricing a garage build, answered the way we would answer them on site.
A two-car garage runs from about 20 by 20 at the tight end to 24 by 24 for comfortable room around the vehicles, and 24 by 30 if trucks are involved. Most people regret going too small rather than too large, and depth matters more than width.
Under the state building code, fully detached accessory buildings under 1,000 square feet are technically exempt, but most townships amend that down and a zoning permit for setbacks and lot coverage is almost always required. Attached garages always need a building permit. We handle the filing.
Below the frost line, which in Pennsylvania runs from roughly 36 inches in the southeast corner to 42 inches through the central and western parts of the state. Footings that stop short of that heave when the ground freezes and crack everything sitting on them.
Yes. Once the space above is meant to be lived in, it gets built to the code for habitable rooms, which brings in stairs, egress, insulation, and often a separate permit. That is a conversation to have at the consultation rather than mid-build.
Most residential projects at this scale run two to six weeks once permits are in hand, and the permit stage itself varies by township. Weather moves concrete dates more than anything else. You get a schedule at the estimate rather than a guess.
