Process

Upon signing up with Garage Gurus our first job is to obtain all necessary permits to begin the process.
Next any site prep and demolition is completed. Following site prep our concrete crew enters the site for the foundation process.
Any excavation and site grading is preformed and then the forming and concrete is accomplished.
Once the foundation has time to cure the building stage begins. Over one to two days the garage structure is erected including all walls, roof, shingles and soffit and fascia are completed.
At this stage your new garage is closed in making ready for our liscenced electrician to complete the electrical to your specifications.
The final stage is the exterior finish weather its vinyl siding or stucco all to match your home.

Testimonial

When we were looking to build our garage, we got quotes from the four largest garage contractors in Winnipeg. We found Garage Gurus to offer the best overall value, both on price and on quality. Terry, the owner, did not try to up-sell us on anything we didn't need or want. His straight forward approach was much appreciated and he was able to finish the project faster than we expected. We are very happy with our choice, and fully recommend Garage Gurus to anyone who needs a solid garage at a great price! Thanks!
