That includes all of greater Phoenix and Tucson, plus higher elevation areas like Prescott, Payson, Flagstaff, and the White Mountains (Lakeside-Pinetop, Show Low, etc).

The benefits of a detached garage addition with a 2nd-story / loft:

This larger variation on the same design that you will find below on this page reminds me of my first exposure to this kind of construction project. It was a 'barn-style' shed in Phoenix built by my sister and her husband (who is now her ex-husband). They were moving from a nearly 5,000 square-foot home to one that was much smaller, so they used the entire lower level of the detached building for storage. The upper level started as a library for my sister's massive collection of books (mostly children's books). Eventually, that space became the 'classroom' for homeschooling.

One of the nice things about having a detached garage is controlling noise. A detached garage comes with the option to also use the space for something besides storage (like you can also do in an attached garage), except without sharing any walls with the main residence.

Need a home office that is quiet (as in far away from pets and kids and blasting TVs)? Or, need to give the teenager a place to make a lot of noise (like with music rehearsals for the garage band), but without waking up anyone from a nap? (Read more here.)

Your new detached garage in Phoenix can be perfect for those types of situations. Plus, to add a small loft or second story over the main garage space allows for dedicating extra room to a specific purpose.

Customized variations on any standard floorplan

Lower on this page are several photos of the construction of a two-level garage that is based on a design made many decades ago. The design of the floorplan has some built-in flexibility and the depth can range from 20' to 24' (with the height at the central peak depending on the depth of the garage). The width is also variable, as well as most any other feature, including 1 or 3 garage doors instead of 2. To the left are a few examples (plus another gallery of photos below that).

These garage builders did it all. The photos below show most of the stages of the construction process: pouring the slab, smoothing the cement, framing the walls, plus adding the roof decking and the exterior roofing.
