The first floor works well for parking vehicles, storing lawn equipment, keeping tools organized, or setting up a workshop-style area. Because the garage uses a clear-span truss design, the interior stays more open and easier to move through without center posts getting in the way. The second-floor attic area is a major advantage for storage. It is a great place for seasonal décor, bins, household overflow, outdoor gear, supplies, or items you want to keep off the main garage floor. This makes the building especially helpful for homeowners who need more organized storage without adding a separate shed or building.

Homeowners often choose a Two Story Built-On-Site Garage for:

• Storing ATVs, cars, tractors, bicycles, snow blowers, motorcycles, etc.
• Easier setup when there are delivery restrictions
• Detached workshop or hobby space
• Seasonal storage upstairs
• An open space to divide as needed (one side for workshop and storage, while the other protects a car)

Stoltzfus Structures makes it easier to add a larger garage when traditional delivery is not the best option. The build-on-site process allows your garage to be constructed directly on your concrete pad, which can be especially helpful for developed properties, tighter lots, or locations with limited access.

What makes the experience different:

• Helpful guidance - Get support choosing the right size, placement, layout, and options.
• Made for your property - Customize the garage around your yard, home style, and storage needs.
• Not one-size-fits-all - Select doors, windows, siding, colors, and upgrades that fit how you’ll use it.
• Support from start to finish - Get help from quote and design through delivery and installation.
• Confidence built in - Warranty coverage, professional delivery, and optional site prep add peace of mind.

The building includes a pressure-treated bottom plate with an insulator, helping create a strong connection between the garage and the prepared foundation area. With multiple windows and shutters, the garage has tons of natural light and a more finished residential appearance. The A-frame roofline, clear-span attic trusses, insulated garage doors, stair access, second-floor attic area, and available custom options make it a practical choice for long-term use.

Because this garage is built on-site and will be placed on the client’s concrete pad, homeowners should review drainage, driveway access, work area around the pad, utility lines, nearby trees, fences, landscaping, and any local permitting requirements. The site should be level, accessible, and ready for the build crew before the project is scheduled.
