Garage Builds
Garage Builds & Outbuildings in Silverthorne, CO, and all of Summit and Grand Counties
Adding a garage or detached building can significantly improve a property’s function and value. In Silverthorne, CO, and all of Summit and Grand Counties, these structures must be built to withstand the alpine climate while blending seamlessly with the home and surrounding landscape. At Action Builder LLC, we specialize in designing and constructing garages, outbuildings, and other detached structures that serve both practical needs and architectural harmony.
Planning a Garage or Outbuilding Project
Every build starts with a clear plan that accounts for the structure’s intended use, the available space, and the specific environmental conditions of Silverthorne.
Purpose and Functionality
Garages may serve purely for vehicle storage or be designed to accommodate workshops, gear rooms, or hobby areas. Outbuildings can be customized for storage, studio space, or recreational purposes.
Site Considerations
Foundation requirements, grading, and snow load calculations are part of the planning process to ensure durability and stability.
Custom Garage Construction
A custom-built garage offers flexibility in size, style, and features, allowing it to be tailored exactly to the homeowner’s needs.
Attached vs. Detached Garages
While detached garages offer separation from the main house and added privacy, attached garages provide direct access and are ideal for convenience in winter.
Vehicle and Equipment Storage
Space planning can include oversized bays for trucks, RVs, or boats, as well as designated areas for bikes, skis, and seasonal gear.
Detached Buildings and Outbuildings
Beyond garages, detached structures can enhance the property’s usability and appeal.
Workshops and Studios
Fully insulated and equipped with electrical service, these spaces can be used year-round for work or creative projects.
Storage Sheds and Barns
Designed to match the home’s style, these structures provide secure storage for tools, equipment, and outdoor furniture.
Recreational Buildings
From game rooms to private gyms, detached buildings can be tailored for entertainment or personal fitness.
Materials and Mountain-Ready Construction
Silverthorne’s climate requires materials that perform well under heavy snow, intense sun, and fluctuating temperatures.
Exterior Finishes
Siding, roofing, and trim are chosen to complement the home while resisting weather-related wear.
Insulation and Ventilation
Proper insulation keeps the structure functional in all seasons, while ventilation systems protect against moisture buildup.
