Top 4 Benefits Of Modular Garages

A Wall Street Journal poll found that only 11% of homeowners are satisfied with their garage and do not want to improve their storage space. 

That means 9 out of 10 homeowners are frustrated with their garage situation! 

How many times have you wished for more space for your shop or garden tools? How often have you wished you could pull your vehicle inside but couldn’t because your garage is already full of other things?

Garages protect our vehicles, serve as our small business's headquarters, provide space for our workshops, and so much more.

At Pequea, we believe homeowners shouldn’t have to be dissatisfied with their garage and that it should be easy and inexpensive to get a new garage. That’s why we made it easy for homeowners to get the garage they need and that will serve them for many years to come.

Let’s look at four ways a modular garage might be the answer to your garage frustrations.

Modular Garages Are Cost-Effective

Say goodbye to expensive additions and garages. 

With typical on-site garage construction, labor accounts for 50-75% of the total cost. At Pequea, we build your garage in our shop, and they can typically be placed on a stone base. This dramatically reduces the cost of labor typically associated with building a garage from scratch on site.

In addition to saving money on labor, modular garages offer another way to save: You don’t have to pour a footer. 

That means:

  • Little or no major excavation. Digging footers and other major excavation for concrete foundations can cost up to $6,000 or more. 
  • No concrete. A typical concrete slab costs between $4 and $8 per square foot. That adds up quickly, especially with a 2-car garage! 
  • Less permit work. While many townships still require a permit for a modular garage (always check first), the permitting process is usually faster and cheaper than a permit for new on-site construction - especially when a concrete foundation is included.
3 ways a modular garage saves you money

Modular Garages Give You Extra Space

Do you need more space but aren't able to build an addition onto your house or garage?

A modular garage will give you lots of affordable space. At Pequea, our largest modular option is a two-car garage! That's enough space to fit:

  • Your spouse's car.
  • Your car.
  • Your teen's sport's gear.
  • Plus, your kid's inflatable pool (when it's not inflated, of course).

Pro tip: Tired of fighting with your spouse over who parks the car in the garage? Buy a modular garage, make peace with them, and then enjoy the extra space!

Modular Garages Can Be Customized

Have you ever looked at a poorly-built modular garage at a big-box store and thought, "I don’t want that on my property"?

We agree - the assembled plywood and 2x4's that box stores try to sell you shouldn't be on your property.

That's why we let you customize your modular shed. With us you can choose the:

  • Color.
  • Size of the garage.
  • Type of siding and trim that you want from our collection.
  • Placement and type of doors and windows.
  • Accessories of your choice. Including but not limited to the cupola, ramps, and weather vanes.

You don’t need to settle for a default or “big-box store” look. You can have the colors, trim package, and style that fits your property and home!

Modular Garages Are Easy To Install

Because all of our modular garage options come with a floor, all you need for the installation is a level gravel base.

  • No extensive permitting.
  • No footer to dig.
  • No concrete to pour.

After you've ordered your garage, the only thing you need to ensure is that a level gravel base the size of your garage is ready. A qualified dealer will take care of all the shipping and installation for you.

Remember: Always check with your county or township permitting rules to see if you need to obtain a permit!
