## Sheds, detached garages, and pole buildings Storage is the number one complaint in Twin Cities homes with small original garages. A purpose-built shed or a second garage solves it for a fraction of what an addition costs. ### What we build - **Custom sheds** — 8x10 through 16x24, matched to your house siding and roofing - **Detached garages** — single, double, and tandem, with or without a second story - **Pole barns and post-frame buildings** — the cheapest dollar-per-square-foot enclosed space - **Lean-tos and equipment covers** - **Workshops and studio buildings** — insulated, wired, heated - **Existing garage rebuilds** on the original slab where the slab is sound ### Slab, footings, or skids? - **Skid / gravel pad** — cheapest, fine for a small storage shed, no permit in many cities - **Frost-protected footings** — required for anything permanent and larger; 42 inches deep in the metro - **Monolithic slab** — the right answer for garages and any building holding vehicles Skipping frost footings on a permanent building is how sheds end up racked and doors stop closing after two Minnesota winters. ### Planning ranges (Twin Cities, estimates) | Building | Typical range | |---|---| | 8x10 shed on gravel | $3,500 – $7,000 | | 12x16 shed, frost footings | $9,000 – $18,000 | | Single-car detached garage | $22,000 – $38,000 | | Two-car detached garage | $32,000 – $60,000 | | Two-car with storage loft | $45,000 – $80,000 | | 30x40 pole barn | $30,000 – $70,000 | | Insulating and heating a garage | $4,000 – $12,000 | Estimates for planning. Concrete, electrical, and site access drive the range. ### Permits and zoning Most Twin Cities suburbs require a permit above **120 or 200 square feet** (it varies by city), and nearly all have rules on setbacks from lot lines, maximum accessory-building footprint, total impervious surface, and height. Minneapolis and St. Paul both have their own accessory-structure rules. We check your city's code before designing so you do not find out at inspection.
