Garage Remodeling and Additions

Most homeowners agree it’s a pleasure to have a garage.

Whether it’s used for car parking or storage of sports equipment, a garage is a practical luxury and its benefits are many. For those of us who park our cars in a garage, escape from bad weather is one of the best benefits! In the winter your car is warmer and you never have to deal with frosty windows or snowy windshields. In the tight parking areas we’re so familiar with in Washington, DC, a garage certainly guarantees you won’t have to spend time searching for a spot on the street.

Over the years, the Wentworth design-build team has built many garages for homeowners in the Washington, DC Metropolitan area. Garage remodeling or addition projects have ranged from attached to detached garages and from two-car brick garages to simple one-car vinyl siding units. No matter the type of garage, construction requires zoning approvals and building permits, and all must be built on a proper masonry foundation with a concrete slab for parking.

Garage Remodeling: Carports

If you have an existing carport attached to your home and wish to enclose it to make a proper garage, this can usually be done for a modest cost. If you already have a carport and wish for a brand new garage, Wentworth architects and designers can work with you to design a garage that makes sense for you and your home. In either case, we can help you determine the most effective way to shelter your car.

Garage Remodeling: Detached Garage

If you are interested in a detached garage, it can be designed and placed on the site to enhance the landscape and even create a well-defined outdoor space for a patio or garden. Linking the garage with fencing or garden walls creates an aesthetically pleasing landscape. A properly designed and built garage will fit in and add to the overall look and feel of your home, but will still be functional and practical for everyday use.

Garage Remodeling: Attached Garage

An attached garage should always be designed in a way that enhances the architecture of the home. If you are going to the expense of building a garage, you are typically better off going with a two-car garage to make it worth the time and effort. By utilizing an appropriate selection of building materials and a well-thought-out roofline, a new garage can become an architectural asset that enhances a home’s curb appeal.

The Qualified Remodeler magazine recently selected your firm as the Silver winner for the "Finished Basement" AND the Gold winner for the "Exterior Facelift" categories. Throughout this economic roller coaster, your firm has clearly demonstrated true consistency and architectural excellence. Please accept my congratulations on your and your firm's success.

Jeffrey L. Davis, Founder & CEO, Chadworth's 1.800.Columns, 

Wentworth Studios turned our boring box into a beautiful, functional living space. They listened to our needs and ideas and gave us graceful solutions that far exceeded our expectations. Wentworth's cost was told to me upfront and there was never a deviation from that cost. It is a joy every day to live within the practical and elegant spaces Wentworth designed and built for us. I would strongly recommend Wentworth.
