Garage Planning
Planning Your 1-Car Garage
Choosing a 1-car garage involves more than picking a building. Before you order, it helps to compare the footprint, total project cost, delivery access, permitting, and whether your property is better suited for fully assembled delivery or a site-built installation. Our Colorado permit requirements guide walks you through how permitting works and how we can handle it for you.

Common Questions
1-Car Garage FAQs
What Colorado homeowners ask before ordering a 1-car garage.
How much does a 1-car garage cost in Colorado?+
Our 1-car garage buildings start at $8,314 based on our 2026 Price Guide. Your total project cost depends on the size you choose, customizations like doors and windows, foundation and site preparation, permitting, and whether the garage is delivered fully assembled or built on site. See our 1-car garage cost guide for a full breakdown.
What size is a 1-car garage?+
Our 1-car garages are offered in multiple footprints, from 12x14 up to 14x48, and 16-foot-wide custom sizes are also available. The right size depends on your vehicle, how much storage or workshop space you want, and the room available on your property. Our 1-car garage size guide compares common dimensions.
Do I need a permit for a 1-car garage in Colorado?+
Permit requirements vary by city and county, and most jurisdictions require a permit for a detached garage. Always confirm with your local building department. The Shed Yard offers permitting services anywhere in Colorado, or see our Colorado permit requirements guide if you prefer to file yourself.
Can The Shed Yard build my 1-car garage on-site?+
Yes. If size, tight access, clearance, or other site conditions prevent delivering a fully assembled garage, our team can build it on your property from shop-built sections. On-site construction has an additional fee. Compare both approaches in our prefab vs. site-built garage guide.
How much does it cost to deliver a 1-car garage?+
Free delivery is available within 150 miles of Penrose, Colorado. Delivery outside that area is available for an additional fee. For a fully assembled delivery, the path to your site should be roughly 1 foot wider than the garage with about 16 feet of overhead clearance, assuming a generally straight route.
Can I customize a 1-car garage?+
Yes. You can choose the size, overhead garage door, entry doors, windows and their placement, siding and trim colors, and a 30-year shingle or 29-gauge metal roof. Design yours in our 3D customizer or ask our team for a custom quote.
Can a 1-car garage be used as a workshop?+
Yes. Depending on the size and layout you choose, a 1-car garage works for vehicle storage, equipment and tools, hobbies, a workbench, or extra storage. Interior finishing options such as insulation, electrical, and drywall can turn it into a finished workspace.
Can I add a foundation or site preparation?+
Yes. Our site preparation services include dirt work, excavation, gravel pads, and concrete foundations, so one team can handle your garage from the ground up.
Does The Shed Yard offer financing for 1-car garages?+
Yes. Choose traditional financing with rates based on your credit profile, or our Rent-to-Own program with no credit check and no income verification. Compare both on our payment options page.
How long does it take to get a 1-car garage?+
Custom orders typically take about 4 to 6 weeks when built and delivered fully assembled, or 5 to 8 weeks for on-site builds.
What areas of Colorado do you deliver 1-car garages to?+
We deliver 1-car garages to all of Colorado from our Penrose yard. Delivery is free within 150 miles of Penrose, and an additional fee applies beyond that. Browse our service areas to see the communities we serve.
The Shed Yard Difference
We Don't Just Sell Structures. We Build & Stand Behind Them.
Occasionally, a client asks us why our pricing is higher than a competitor, a national company, or a random contractor without a business name. We love answering that question, because the price difference isn't just a number — it's a reflection of how we build, how we treat our people, and how we protect your investment.
At The Shed Yard, we operate on a completely different set of business ethics. We choose superior materials, utilize heavy-duty building practices, and pay our employees what they are truly worth. Because when you treat craftsmen right, they put genuine pride into every single cut, nail, and truss.
The Shed Yard Value
Fairly Paid, Skilled Craftsmen (No Vanishing Subcontractors)
We never pass the buck to low-bid, out-of-town contractors who disappear when you need them. Our dedicated, in-house crew handles your build with pride, professionalism, and local accountability.
Premium-Level Materials & Construction
We build for Colorado's heavy snows, high winds, and harsh seasons. From heavy-duty framing to top-tier materials, we construct every building to last — never to hit a cheap, corner-cut price point on a spreadsheet.
Warranties Backed by Real Action
We don't just hand you a structure and walk away; we stand behind our work for the long haul. We protect your investment with a 1-1-5 Limited Warranty on our 2-car garages and home shells, and a Limited Lifetime Warranty on our sheds, barns, coops, loafing sheds, and 1-car garages.
Total Ownership & Zero Excuses
Because we oversee your project from the ground up, there is no middleman to blame and no passing the buck. If you ever have a question or need support, our local team is right here in Colorado to take care of you.
