Garage Builders are asked all the time what the standard or average 2 car garage size is for a typical City lot. The answer is always the same, that depends on your lot size and most importantly your individual needs. For instance, a 20x22 detached 2 car garage might be the perfect size for empty nesters or a young family without kids but add a couple little ones running around and all of a sudden a large 24x24 might be the perfect size.
Whats really important is choosing the garage dimensions that will fit your site, accommodate 2 cars or more, plus as much storage and whatever else you need.

The business model Mitzie developed for Western was very simple and straight forward, Give People What They Want and Don't Charge To Much! Milt's son Bradley Chazin is now president of Western Construction, Inc. Brad's first experience with Western was at eight years old. Milt would bring him to the garage construction sites so he could could do a thorough clean up.
Are you looking for a Twin Cities Garage Contractor who can construct a high quality garage that is both practical and beautiful? At Western Construction we provide the professional workmanship and reliable construction you need to confidently design and build the perfect building for your lot and your budget.
When it comes to building a new garage one of the most frequently asked questions I get is, what size garage should I build? Followed by what garage design is best? Homeowners worry that another 2' in either direction will make a difference to the look and feel of their yard. The reality is, the part of you're yard closest to your home is what you use most often, not the area by the alley or rear yard. Your patio, grill or garden areas are generally closest to your back door. Your garage is always located in the rear yard or alley.
This is the most popular standard Minnesota two car garage style and size. It has all the features you'd expect in a garage today. Premium vinyl siding, aluminum soffit and fascia (over hangs), 16x7 raised panel overhead door and 1 window and service door. This Minnesota storage truss garage is the most popular style garage if your looking for more storage without taking up more of your yard.

Brad Chazin, third-generation owner of Western Construction is a true professional. After receiving bids from other garage builders and being frustrated by the companies response time and lack of professionalism, I found Western. Brad patiently answered all my questions about my proposed garage and was very helpful with the planning stage. I would absolutely refer friends and family to this wonderful company.

Quality and price match. Not too expensive, not exceptional quality, but good. Communication is a struggle. Not quick to return emails or phone calls, if ever. Must call and email several times to get a response. The subcontractors they use are more than rough around the edges. I had at least a full pack of cigarette buts all around the garage. No porta-potty was supplied by Western for their subs, so I offered my bathroom and the lead carpenter said "We just piss in a bottle in the truck".
One day I came home and my yard had trash from the siding all over. I thought for sure the guys where coming back, they did the next day. I mostly just got excuses instead of solutions. They never gave us a schedule and never let us know when people where going to be at our house. Small details like consistent stud spacing, filling nail holes in trim and daily cleanup do not exist with Western.
I would suggest using them if you want a reasonably priced structure with OK to good quality. I would suggest NOT using them if you care about communication, professionalism, scheduling or neatness.

Just figured I would share my experience using Western Construction for my new garage. This was my first time contracting out for a major project. During my build, I had to contact them numerous times to address the timeline, took over five months for standard garage. Since completion, I have poor repairs of mistakes they made. I have walls leaking, pooling of water, and cracking of my slab.
When I contacted him about the walls leaking I was given excuses and lies. I have attempted to address these and other issues with the owner, Brad Chasin, but would not answer or return messages left. I resorted early in the build to taking many photos and detailed documentation of the painful process.

I was really impressed with Western Construction right from the start if my process for my new garage. Brad came to my home and explained all the options available to me and helped me obtain the loan that I was seeking. It was all really easy and very straight forward. He told me a date they would begin construction and he stuck to his word. His teams were very professional and performed their jobs well.
I have absolutely no complaints and will refer Western Construction to anyone looking for a new garage. I love my new addition. Thank you to Brad and all your teams that made this project possible. Barbara

We had our garage built last year by Western and they delivered on every promise they made. There were no additional charges at the end of the project which was important to me since I'm on a fixed income. They explained the project would take between 6 and 8 weeks depending on weather and in fact it took 7 so I was very happy. I would recommend Western to all my friends and family!

My dad was looking for a garage to do some tinkering in. He is not Internet savvy so I researched various builders in the Metro area and chose Western based not only on their competitive prices, but the friendliness of their staff. Brad came out and took his time to talk through everything with my dad. He was very clear on timing and what to expect.
His delivery was exactly what he laid out and it put my mind at ease to know that may dad was taken care of. My dad has been a contractor for years but in his older age is not capable of building a garage for himself anymore. He is VERY knowledgeable on the topic and he talked very highly of Western's level of expertise. I would definitely recommend this company again!

I would recommend Western Construction to anyone looking to build a new garage. I found everyone working with Western to be very helpful throughout the entire process. Brad, in particular, was extremely knowledgeable and helped me get the exact garage I was looking for. I was really pleased with every crew in their speed and the high level of quality they produced.
When I started looking, I didn't think I would be able to get the kind of garage I wanted, but Western introduced me to some affordable financing options that made it all possible. Thank you Western Construction!

Me and my fiance just bought our first home in South Minneapolis. Western was gracious enough to meet with us before we bough the home to give us a quote on the price of building a 20x22 before going into negotiations. Once we bought the house we hired Western for the garage. They were always very attentive to my needs and I always was able to reach someone on the phone whenever I needed.
That is one reason why I love working with smaller family owned business's. They have been building garages in the metro for almost 70 years and there work definitely speaks for itself. Our garage was built in start to finish in 5 weeks. Western was constantly on time with scheduling and stayed true to every promise. They don't sub out ANY work which we found comforting.
I was talking to all of the workers and they have been with Western anywhere from 30 - 50 years. This is a true gem in Minnesota as far as builders go. I would recommend them to any and all of my family and friends.

I was in the need of a Garage, and really did not know what I wanted or could do. When western came out to meet with me, they were able to point me in the direction of what type of garage would best fit our need's. We were also abe to find out what we would be able to qualify for immediatly, to help with our Monthly budget. So i went with western, since I was able to recieve a quote the same day and everything was explained so well.
We did have 2 other companies out prior to Signing with Western, however they did not even get us a quote that day. I guess i was very uncomfortable using a company that could not give me a price immediatly. If they don't know what there pricing is, how do they know how to build it? When the job was complete, we got what we wanted, and the garage is perfect thank you Western!
