Carriage House Construction

What This Service Involves

A carriage house combines a garage on the ground floor with a complete dwelling unit upstairs, making efficient use of your lot. We design and build these two-story structures with sound engineering, weather-tight construction, and comfortable upper-level living for the Puget Sound area. The design provides parking or storage while adding valuable independent living space above. The finished carriage house delivers versatility and classic architectural appeal.
