Hey guys, I'm planning to build a second garage this spring/summer to work on my classic cars. Been doing it in my 2-car garage and it just ain't cuttin' it anymore. Plus I need more cover because I'm tired of my sphincter tightening up every time there's hail in the area, like last night. 
The size will be 20' x 40'. I wanted it wider but my lot size and local restrictions won't allow it. The concrete will be taken care of, part of it is already there because I poured a slab a few years ago for extra parking. The rest I think I can get done cheap. I live in a very small town and they are about to repave the streets with concrete (asphalt now) and I was told by the city there will be an opportunity to make direct deals with the contractor to pour concrete on our personal property at what may be a pretty reasonable rate.
Has anybody worked with any contractors in the DFW area recently for new garages? Any suggestions on who to use, or who to stay away from?
I've seen the Tuff-Shed site, and they have a facility in Lewisville which is not too far from me. I'm going down there Saturday to check it out. I've also run across another post here on GJ that mentioned Ulrich Garages. Any experience with either of these?
Thanks for any help you can give me, I'm always wary of hiring contractors. There's so much potential for frustration.
