Garages & Shops in Cannon Falls, built by our own crew

Cannon Falls landowners call us for detached garages, heated shops and RV and boat garages. Cannon Falls is home base: our crew works right here out of Cannon Falls, MN.

In river and bluff country the site decides a lot: slope, rock and runoff set where the pad goes, how it's cut and graded, and how water gets carried away from the building.

The quote is free: tell us the size, what the building is for and where the property is.

What's included

Garages & Shops we do in Cannon Falls

  • 01

    Detached garages

    Two-, three- and four-car garages with overhead doors, a walk door, windows and a concrete floor, in steel colors and trim that suit the house.

  • 02

    Heated shops and workshops

    Insulated walls and ceiling, a steel or wood liner and a slab with in-floor heat tubing, so the shop stays usable all winter.

  • 03

    RV and boat garages

    Tall sidewalls and an overhead door sized to the camper's roof air conditioner or the boat on its trailer, with a bay deep enough to close the door behind it.

  • 04

    Garage and shop combinations

    Garage bays for the vehicles and a walled-off shop at one end with its own door, plus a lean-to or covered porch on the side if you want one.

  • 05

    Doors and windows

    Overhead doors sized to what you park, walk doors where you need them and windows for daylight, laid out so roof snow doesn't slide onto the doorways.

  • 06

    Pad, driveway and trenching

    We compact the building pad and grade it to drain, build the gravel driveway, and dig the utility trenches for power and water.

Goodhue County, Minnesota

Garages & Shops around Cannon Falls

We build around Cannon Falls, near East Side Park, Riverside Park and Little Cannon River, and throughout Goodhue County.

Cannon Falls is our home base, a Goodhue County town on the Cannon River along US 52, about 40 miles southeast of the Twin Cities. Cannon Falls is home base: our crew works right here out of Cannon Falls, MN.

Winters here are hard on buildings: frost that heaves anything set too shallow, snow that piles up on roofs and slides onto doors, and condensation that forms under bare steel when the weather swings. So posts and footings go below the frost line, trusses are engineered for the snow load where the building sits, and insulation and condensation control are planned in from the start.

How it works

How your Cannon Falls garage job works

  1. 1

    Free quote and site visit

    Tell us what the garage or shop will hold. We look at where it fits on the lot, the setbacks, drainage and the driveway route, then give you a free quote.

  2. 2

    Design and permit

    We size the bays, door heights and any heated shop space, check your city, township or county code on size, height and setbacks, and pull the permit.

  3. 3

    Pad, driveway and posts

    We build and compact the pad, cut in the driveway, trench for utilities and set the posts below the frost line.

  4. 4

    Build, insulate and pour

    We frame the trusses, hang the steel roof and walls, install the doors and windows, insulate and line the inside, and pour the floor, with in-floor heat tubing if the shop will be heated.

Questions

Garages & Shops in Cannon Falls: FAQs

Do you build garages and shops in Cannon Falls, MN?

Yes. Cannon Falls is home base: our crew works right here out of Cannon Falls, MN. We build detached garages, heated shops and RV and boat garages there, and the quote is free.

Do I need a permit for a garage in Cannon Falls?

Usually. When one is needed, we get it from the city of Cannon Falls inside city limits, or the township and county outside them and build to whatever the permit and inspections require.

How much does it cost to build a garage or shop?

Size is the biggest factor, followed by sidewall height, the number and size of overhead doors and whether the building is insulated and heated. A slab with in-floor heat tubing costs more than a plain one, and site work like a long driveway or a lot of fill adds to it. A two-car garage and a heated shop with an RV bay are very different jobs. Tell us what you want to park and do inside, and we'll quote it for free.

Will a pole building garage hold up to Minnesota winters?

Yes, when it's built for them. Posts set below the frost line keep frost heave from lifting the walls and jamming the doors, and the trusses are engineered for the snow load where the garage sits. Snow slides off a steel roof, so we put the overhead doors on the gable end or plan for where the snow lands. If the garage will be heated, insulation and vapor control keep the roof from sweating and dripping on your vehicles.

Do I need a permit for a detached garage?

Yes, almost always. A detached garage or shop needs a building permit from the city in most of the metro, or from the township or county in rural areas, and the zoning code limits accessory building size, height and distance from lot lines. Shoreland rules add limits near lakes and rivers, and some cities and HOAs have rules on exterior materials. We check the code for your lot before we draw the building.

Can you build a heated shop with in-floor heat?

Yes. We insulate the walls and ceiling, add vapor control and a steel or wood liner, and lay foam board and in-floor heat tubing before we pour the slab. In-floor heat keeps the floor warm, dries snowmelt off vehicles and recovers quickly after the big door has been open. The slab is ready to connect to the heat source you choose.
