Thank you everyone for your input! I'll definitely stick to at least 8' tall doors. We plan on living here for a while, but it makes sense to think of the resell value.

In the process of getting permits for detached 27'x34' garage built. The garage door will be on the 27' side. I'd like to get a head start on ordering material and I've been looking at Cloplay and C.H.I. and would like some guidance. I read on GJ that try to get standard dimension so...

Welcome aboard! Prepare to be in awe of all the neat garage pics and knowledge GJ has to offer!

Howdy Taylor! Welcome aboard. I'm new on GJ myself, but have invested hours in reading this forum. It's great. Everyone is so helpful. I'm in Houston, and I just moved from a townhome with a rooftop patio. Similar to what you're describing but add in 2 more floors. We were ecstatic to have it...

Haha all good man! Sounds like a dream neighborhood for a childhood! We were looking in that area too. Closer to Nottingham Elementary. Not sure if you've been back lately, but Harvey flooded everything from the bayou up to River Forest Dr. The neighborhood itself is really nice. We put in an...

Thanks CraigStu, didn't think about pulling out (haha) part. First thought was pulling in would be a cinch. Now that you mentioned, a single door would take up less ceiling space with the motor and mounts. Yep, we'll have a man door on the left side that leads to the patio. I,m not sure what...

Oh yeah! Forgot to mention my wife and I visited Seattle last November. Our last big trip before Covid happened. It was sunshine 90% of the time we were there. I think we got really lucky. Seattle is a lovely city. We mainly explored with the City Pass since it was our first time but thoroughly...

Originally that was the plan, to build a 2 story garage for a MIL suite apt, however it's against it's against the HOA. The HOA seems pretty laxed here as long as you don't build something ugly they are cool with it. (There are a couple of houses in the neighborhood a 2 story garage when we...

I'll think about that some more. One of the pros I listed for doing a single door, was I'd have wall storage that wouldn't be eaten up if we had the 2 single doors instead. Thank you.

We are in Spring Branch, pretty close to that IKEA. What a small world, I have a bunch of friends that live in Sugar Land. I didn't know Memorial Drive went that far down southwest. Or did you mean Stratford High School.?

Hey there, thanks! Subscribed and I'll take a look.

Thanks for the feed back! We were deciding between having a 16' wide door or two single doors as well. After some research and talking to our neighbors that had 2 single doors we decided that'd fit best. Our drive way will be pretty long (roughly 80ft) so parking outside wouldn't be too much of...

Hello! Looking to build a detached garage here in Houston, Tx. We have a rendering done for a 24x30 (largest we can accommodate with our easement). I've been perusing GJ for a few weeks and have gone down some awesome rabbit holes on people's project. The rendering does help give a sense of...

Hey bud! We're in Spring Branch! My friends from out of town confuse the two all the time.

Re: My 24x30 Slice of Heaven Howdy iced98lx, joined GJ because I found your thread while researching for my 20x30 detached build. Glad you and your family are ok and great work on the renovations and garage updates. I love that exhilaration of organizing when everything has a place and purging.
