The things you don’t see matter.

Before the siding goes on, we wrap the outside of the wall sheathing with a quality housewrap.

Think of it as a raincoat for your garage. It helps keep rain out of the wall assembly while allowing water v***r to escape to the outside.That means a drier wall, better protection, and a garage built to last.

And there’s another important detail: housewrap is a required part of the installation process for many vinyl siding manufacturers to maintain their product warranty.

It may get covered up, but it’s an important part of building it right. That’s the Heartland Way.

One garage door or two? It mostly comes down to how you’ll use the space.

One larger door gives you more room to maneuver, especially with trucks and larger vehicles. Two doors create separate bays and can give the garage a more traditional look.

There’s no universal right answer. The right setup is the one that works with your vehicles, your property and your home.

What once was an open canvas of space is now a stunning 26' x 25', two-story structure designed to add both beauty and functionality to this property!

With beautiful brick and LP siding, this new structure was carefully designed to complement the exterior of the home perfectly, creating a seamless look that feels like it was always meant to be there.

At Heartland Garage Builders, we believe the foundation of your garage matters just as much as what you see above it.

That’s why every Heartland garage includes a 5” concrete slab with fiber mesh reinforcement and a 6-bag concrete mix. This added strength helps improve durability and extend the longevity of your garage floor.

While the typical industry standard is a 4” slab—and that’s generally what municipalities require—we choose to go a step further.

Because when you’re investing in a new garage, we believe you should get more than the minimum. That’s The Heartland Way.

When it comes to choosing the windows for your garage, it’s all in the details!

Do you prefer the classic look of window grids, or the clean, modern look without them? Either option can completely change the look of your garage and how well it complements your home’s exterior.

Think about your home’s existing windows, architectural style, trim, and overall design. The goal is to create a garage that feels like it belongs with your home—not like an afterthought.

Wood rot may start as a small, easy-to-miss problem, but it can quickly become a much bigger issue. Look for soft or crumbling wood, discoloration, peeling or warped siding, damaged trim, or areas that feel weak when touched.

The bigger question is what’s happening behind the surface. If moisture has been getting into the structure for years, the damage may extend beyond what you can see.

Sometimes a repair can solve the problem. Other times, extensive rot is a sign that the garage has reached the end of its useful life—and rebuilding may be the better long-term investment.

Sometimes, the signs aren’t obvious from the outside. But when you take a closer look, you may notice the rot, deteriorating materials, outdated construction, poor layout, or just how inefficient the structure has become.

At some point, putting more money into repairs doesn’t make sense. It may be time to start over.

A new garage gives you the opportunity to create a structure that is safer, more efficient, more functional, and designed around how you use your property today.

If your garage has seen better days, let’s take a closer look. For a FREE consultation and estimate, contact HGB at 224-326-2698 or HeartlandGarageBuilders.com
