Why D.A.R.T Construction for Freestanding Garages
Because a detached garage must perform every day, not just on move-in day. We calibrate clear spans and header sizes, set precise rough openings for overhead or carriage doors, and reinforce slab edges where vehicles track. Beyond structure, we align rooflines and exterior materials to complement the home, install moisture protection and termite barriers suited to South Carolina conditions, and plan lighting circuits and outlets at working height. Plus, we pre-wire for openers and EV charging, set apron slopes and gutters to move water away, and verify door balance and seal before handoff.
The process
Our Freestanding Garage Build Process
Site Fit & Layout
First, we evaluate setbacks, maneuvering room, vehicle sizes, door positions, driveway connections, and trees/landscaping to protect.
Options, Estimate & Schedule
Next, we present line-item options like door sizes/types, storage lofts, insulation packages, electrical/EV readiness, exterior materials, along with a realistic timeline and milestones.
Permits & Prebuild
Then we secure approvals, locate utilities, order long-lead items (doors, trusses, metal), install erosion control, and set benchmarks for elevation and drainage.
Foundation & Slab
After prep, we place base, forms, and reinforcement with a vapor barrier; pour and finish the slab with proper slope and apron; and apply termite treatment as required.
Electrical, Fit-Out & Closeout
Finally, we wire lighting/outlets (including EV-ready circuits), add storage systems if specified, complete paint and trim, clean thoroughly, and complete the walkthrough and handover.
