Hahn Construction

RV & Detached Garage Builder West of Phoenix, AZ

There is only so much you can do with the garage that is attached to your current home. Sure, it serves as a nice place to park your vehicles hidden from the scorching Arizona sun, and you probably use it for storage, but most garages fill up quickly. If you are out of space and want to open up more possibilities on your property, a detached garage or RV garage is the way to go.

To learn more about building a detached garage, get in touch with Hahn Construction at (928) 925-3886 right away. We can answer any questions you may have about this type of project and help you understand what it will take to create your new space. We are excited to hear from you today!

A Manageable Dream

Many homeowners are surprised to learn just how affordable and approachable this type of project can be. Because building a detached garage doesn’t involve renovating an existing structure so you can connect the new with the old, construction costs tend to stay under control. We’ll still need to consider things like zoning restrictions and local codes, of course, but building a new detached garage is far simpler than adding on to a house that is already standing.

Also, the standard RV garage is little more than a large, well-built box, meaning it’s a pretty basic design in most cases. Once we figure out what you need in terms of size and access to the building, we can put together a basic plan and then make any small tweaks or adjustments that might be needed to round out the design. You might want to think about any design elements that you’d like to include in this project that will tie it together in some way with your current home. The two buildings don’t need to look exactly alike in most cases, but carrying over one or two elements from the house to the new garage is a nice design touch that keeps everything looking cohesive.

Uses for a Detached Garage

When you take on a major construction or renovation project on your property, it’s important to make sure that the project you select will continue to work well for your needs over the coming years. After all, you are making a significant investment to upgrade the property, so you’ll want to get as much return from that investment as possible.

Fortunately, with a detached garage, you’ll be able to get plenty of value from the project because this is such a versatile space. You might find that you start out using it for one purpose only to shift gears later and put it to use in another way. Here are just a few of the many ways a detached garage might be useful to you –



RV parking

If you own an RV, you really don’t want to leave it parked out under the brutal Arizona sun all year long. Leaving your RV in the sun throughout the year is going to expose it to relentless UV rays that will fade the exterior, dry up the seals, and more. If you build an RV garage that is large enough to fit your rig inside, you can keep it in great condition for a long time to come. And, as an added bonus, your RV will always be ready to hit the road when the time comes to take your next trip, since it’s parked inside in a controlled environment.



Games and recreation

Perhaps the most exciting idea for a detached garage is turning the space into an entertainment area with games to enjoy with family and friends. The possibilities here are endless – you could put in a pool table, a ping pong table, or even a basketball court if the space was big enough. The Arizona heat can make it hard to enjoy outdoor activities in the middle of summer, so you can head inside and still have fun.



Ample storage space

Sometimes, a detached garage is used largely as a storage unit for the people who live in the home. Rather than paying rent each month for a storage unit in a nearby facility – that you would have to drive to every time you want something – you could build a garage that will offer you storage space and will always be easy to access.



Create a workshop

Have you always wanted to have a dedicated workshop space on your property? A detached garage is an ideal way to make that dream a reality. Whether it’s for woodworking, metalworking, or some other type of activity, you can create a garage with all the features needed to enjoy such hobbies.

It’s entirely possible that you will wind up using your new garage for more than one of these purposes, or for other uses entirely. For instance, you might park your RV inside of the garage and add some storage shelves along one wall to keep various things that don’t fit in your house or that you don’t need very often.

An Important Consideration

When planning out your new garage project, be careful to think about where it will be located on your property and how that location will impact the way it functions. This is particularly critical when thinking about parking an RV inside of the garage. You’ll need to have a clear path to reach the garage with your RV from the road, and you’ll want to have plenty of room to maneuver into place properly without the risk of hitting any other buildings or landscaping features. The team at Hahn Construction can help you with selecting the right location for your new garage so it lands in the perfect spot.
