The Ultimate Guide to Garage Construction in Calgary: What Every Homeowner Needs to Know

Building a detached garage in Calgary is a smart investment—whether you need extra storage, vehicle protection from harsh weather, or a versatile workshop space. At SunSky Builders, we specialize in high-quality garage construction in Calgary, combining expert craftsmanship with local know-how to deliver durable, functional, and stylish garages tailored to your needs.

Why Build a Garage in Calgary?

  1. Hail & Weather Protection – Calgary’s unpredictable storms can damage vehicles. A sturdy garage shields your cars, tools, and outdoor equipment.
  2. Increased Home Value – A well-built garage adds significant resale value, especially in communities like Livingston, Legacy, and Evanston.
  3. Extra Storage or Living Space – Use it as a workshop, home gym, or even convert it into a future suite (subject to zoning laws).

Key Considerations for Garage Construction in Calgary

1. Design & Customization

  • Size Options: Standard single-car (12’x20’), double-car (24’x24’), or custom oversized for RVs/trucks.
  • Style Choices: Match your home’s aesthetic with complementary siding, roofing, and finishes.
  • Special Features: Consider loft storage, EV charger pre-wiring, or insulated walls for year-round use.

2. Permits & Regulations

  • Calgary requires building permits for garages over 10m² (108 sq.ft.).
  • Setback rules vary by community—we handle all permit paperwork for you.

3. Construction Timeline

  • 4–6 weeks on average (faster for pre-designed models).
  • Weather-resistant scheduling to avoid delays.

4. Cost Factors

  • Basic Garage: $25,000–$35,000 (24’x24’, unfinished interior)
  • Upgraded Garage: $35,000–$50,000+ (insulation, electrical, custom doors)
