Custom Prefab Garage Designers in Ontario

Custom Prefab Garage DesignersIf you require a multi-purpose and strong storage building, a prefab garage is an ideal enhancement to your property. Prefab garages have gained a lot of popularity because of their ease of installation, affordability, and potential for customization. At In The Back Yard, we provide custom prefab garage design and building services to meet specific homeowners’ needs in Niagara, Toronto, Hamilton, and throughout the GTA. From a simple storage building to a complete workshop, our garage line of models can be configured to meet your exact requirements.

Why Choose a Prefab Garage?

Prefab garages offer a number of distinct advantages, making them an attractive option for homeowners who want both functionality and convenience.

  • Faster Installation: One of the most appealing aspects of prefab garages is their quick turnaround. Partially built off-site in a controlled environment, they are delivered and assembled on your property in a fraction of the time it takes to build a traditional garage. With minimal disruption to your daily life, you’ll have your new garage up and running faster.
  • Cost-Effective: Prefab garages are a budget-friendly option compared to traditional construction. Because the components are pre-built in a factory setting, you save money on labor costs, material waste, and lengthy project timelines. Despite the lower cost, we don’t compromise on quality, so you’ll still get a highly durable and reliable garage.
  • Customizable Options: Whether you’re using your garage for parking, storage, or a work space, we offer various upgrades and options to match your needs. From additional windows for natural light to built-in lofts for extra storage, our prefab garages can be customized to your specifications, ensuring you get exactly what you need.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do garage building permits cost?

The cost of permits for constructing garages isn’t the same everywhere, as it varies depending on where you live—each city or municipality sets its own fees. The permit cost is based on the projected value and/or dimensions and type (detached vs. attached) of your intended garage. As part of our planning process, we will help calculate these costs and guide you through the local rules and regulations. We'll walk you through the process so there are no surprises when it comes to permit fees for your particular project.


How long does the permitting process take?

It pretty much depends on how fast your local municipal office is in reviewing applications for projects such as garages. Some cities get things done in a matter of weeks, while others can take months, especially in high-demand areas or during busy times of the year..We make sure your permit application is done right the first time, get all the necessary drawings in on time, and keep in touch with the municipality every step of the way.. We work to keep things on track, ensuring that all of the paperwork for your garage project is in order from the beginning.


Do the garages come pre-built, or are they assembled on-site?

Building a garage is a bit of both. Depending on the style and size, some of the construction may be done in our shop, for example, walls and roof trusses. We prefer to do this combination of pre-built and assembled on-site because it speeds up the process and allows for any customization to be done during the build. This ensures we have complete control over the quality of construction from the ground up, providing you with a custom-built garage that’s made to last and fits perfectly into your space, just the way you want it.


What materials are used in the garage construction?

We're committed to constructing garages that will last, particularly in the Canadian climate. We select materials that are renowned for their strength and endurance. Typically, we use Canadian high-grade wood for the framing and for the exterior, we employ durable materials such as engineered wood siding or vinyl siding – items that hold up over time. Roofing tends to come with architectural shingles that are engineered to support snow and wind, although some customers prefer a metal roof, which we can also provide. It's about choosing durable components so your investment in a new garage is sound, will look fantastic for years, and won’t require constant maintenance.


How does the garage hold up in Canadian winters?

Our garages are built to meet or exceed local building codes, which exist for a reason – they factor in heavy snow loads and the ground freezing and thawing. We employ construction methods such as sturdy roof truss systems and long-wearing exterior finishes. And don't even get us started on the foundation – it's built to survive the frost. You can sleep soundly knowing the garages we build are sturdy, particularly to remain effective against the rigours of a harsh Canadian winter season.


What foundation is required for the garage?

The appropriate foundation is important to have stable, lasting garages. For most standard-sized detached garages here, a reinforced concrete slab poured right on the ground works great. It provides a solid, level base. However, depending on the garage's size, your specific ground conditions, and local regulations addressing frost heave, sometimes we need to build foundation walls that go deeper, below the frost line. We always thoroughly analyze each project to suggest and establish the appropriate base that conforms to your municipality's requirements.
