Carriage Garage

Hobby
Delafield, WI

Everlast Structures collaborated with a returning client in Delafield, Wisconsin, to construct a custom carriage garage designed to seamlessly integrate with their new property. The homeowners, who had previously partnered with us for a building at a former residence, required a post-frame structure that provided ample hobby storage while strictly adhering to the architectural aesthetic of their existing home. This project required precise planning to navigate a site with significant elevation changes near the property line. The result is a cohesive addition featuring custom carriage house doors and a spacious rear porch that serves as a versatile outdoor gathering space.

Custom Garage Builders Serving Delafield & Waukesha County

Everlast Structures provides premium post-frame solutions for homeowners in Delafield and throughout Waukesha County. When a property requires a structure that functions as both a workspace and an architectural asset, our team delivers custom designs that elevate the existing landscape. This carriage garage demonstrates our ability to match the specific character of a residence, ensuring the new building feels like an original part of the estate rather than an afterthought. By combining functional hobby storage with high-end exterior finishes, we help clients maximize the utility and value of their property.

The Design-Build Advantage for Custom Projects

For clients seeking a specific aesthetic, the design-build process offers a distinct advantage. We streamline the project by managing architectural design, site engineering, and construction under one roof. On this project, the homeowners bypassed the bidding process to work with us again, citing our previous success. We leveraged our 3D design capabilities to refine the exterior details before breaking ground, ensuring the custom doors and rooflines matched their vision perfectly. As the single point of contact, we ensured the challenging site conditions were addressed without compromising the design intent.

Flexible Installation Packages

We offer various construction packages to suit the specific involvement level of our clients.

  • Turn-Key: We manage the entire scope, from site preparation on difficult terrain to the final installation of windows and custom doors. This comprehensive service ensures every detail matches the architectural requirements of the main home.
  • Basic Setup: A suitable option for those who wish to manage interior finishing themselves. We construct the complete exterior shell, ensuring the building is weather-tight and structurally sound, while the owner handles insulation or electrical work later.
  • Building Only: For owners acting as their own general contractor, we erect the post-frame structure on a prepared site. This allows the client to manage excavation and concrete work while utilizing our expertise for the building shell.

Construction & Site Management

The construction process for this carriage garage presented unique challenges due to the site's proximity to a property line and a steep drop-off. Our team carefully planned construction to ensure structural stability without encroaching on the boundaries. Using our 3D design tool, we visualized the placement to optimize access and aesthetics. Completed during a fall build schedule, the project moved efficiently from excavation to final trim, ensuring the owners could utilize the space for summer gatherings.

Why Choose Everlast Structures?

Repeat business is the highest compliment we receive. As Wisconsin's premier builder, we prioritize long-term relationships built on trust and quality execution. This project exemplifies our commitment to understanding a client's history and future needs. We deliver tailored solutions that address specific site constraints and design requirements.

Architectural Continuity & Custom Design

The primary requirement for this project was architectural continuity. We worked closely with the overhead door manufacturer to source Haas insulated carriage house doors that provided the specific design character requested. The inclusion of a 3' cupola, turkey tail details, and Bright White steel siding ensured the garage mirrored the main residence. Additionally, the design incorporated a 24'x10' open gable porch, transforming a standard storage building into a venue for family events.

Materials & Durability

To ensure longevity and performance, we utilized premium materials suited for the Wisconsin climate. The roof features Moisture-lok condensation control to protect the interior contents. We installed Plyco aluminum leakproof windows and Matte Black steel roofing to provide a durable, low-maintenance exterior. These material choices ensure the building will maintain its appearance and functionality for decades, accommodating everything from hobby storage to holiday celebrations.
