Why Simply Garages
Construction without the chaos.

Most homeowners build one garage in their lifetime. We’ve built our entire process around making that experience clear, organized, and honest.

Firm, Transparent Pricing

We quote clearly and stick to it. When something changes, you hear about it immediately — not on the final invoice.

Communication Is the Work

Calling, updating, and explaining aren’t distractions from the job — they are the job. You’ll always know what’s happening.

Full Scope. One Company.

Design, permitting, site prep, construction, trades, final grade — we manage every step from Harrisonburg to Richmond.

Process-Driven Execution

Our systems prevent the common causes of project failure: unclear scopes, poor communication, and disorganized hand-offs.

Our Commitment
You will always know what’s going on.

We believe silence creates more frustration than bad news. Communication isn’t a courtesy at Simply Garages — it’s a requirement.

  • What is happening now

“It was a great experience from start to finish. From the communication leading up to the design visit to the finished garage. Built just as designed and cost as estimated. Simply Garages kept us updated throughout the entire process. An absolute pleasure to work with.”

What We Build
Two ways to build a great garage.

Post-frame or stick-frame — both delivered with the same disciplined process, transparent pricing, and true turn-key scope across Richmond and Central Virginia.

Post-Frame Garages

Efficient, versatile, and cost-effective for most residential applications

Post-frame uses large laminated posts on a concrete perimeter. Strong, flexible, and efficient — the right choice for most residential garage projects across Chesterfield, Hanover, Louisa, and the Valley.

  • Wide open spans — no interior load-bearing walls
  • Cost-effective for most sizes and configurations
  • Ideal for carport and lean-to additions
  • Faster build timeline than stick frame
  • PermaColumn options for enhanced durability
  • Loft and attic storage options available
Typical Range
$30K – $180K

Stick-Frame Garages

Traditional construction for matching architecture or complex layouts

Stick-frame uses conventional dimensional lumber. Preferred when matching architecture, meeting HOA requirements in Henrico or Chesterfield, or building multi-story layouts.

  • Matches residential home construction standards
  • Ideal for HOA requirements or matching architecture
  • Supports second story, attic, and living space
  • Precise wall heights and complex layouts
  • Full interior finish options available
  • Vinyl, LP Smart, or wood siding options
Typical Range
$60K – $300K
What’s Included
Every project is truly turn-key.

We don’t hand you a structure and wish you luck. From first permit to final electrical connection — across Richmond, Harrisonburg, and everywhere in between.

Design Coordination

Layout, sizing, and features settled before anything is drawn or permitted.

Permitting & Approvals

We handle all county permit applications across our full service area.

Site Preparation

Framing, roofing, siding, windows, doors, and garage door installation.

Final Grade & Electrical

“They were quick to come 2hrs away to give me a quote. Onsite they were extremely professional and explained everything that went into the turnkey build. As the project started William was very open and let me know if there were setbacks but ultimately they finished on schedule. Everyone that came in from the framers, electrical guys, siding, inside finishers and concrete guys were extremely pleasant to work with. I would recommend these guys for any job you need!”

“Working with Douglas and William was a pleasure, from design to completion. Very professional and kept us informed of milestones during the construction. Avery and the crew were hard working, fast, and concerned that the work was done to our satisfaction. If you are considering a garage, workshop, shed, or pavilion build you need to contact them first.”

“Man o man! These guys are totally professional and just good guys. I had several different quotes and decided to go with Simply Garages. Thank God I did! I got a very good quality garage from start to finish. Douglas and William really know how to run a business. And ALL of their workers are extremely nice and professional. Art and Cotey, Wyn and the other guys names that I didn’t get, thank you all so much for a job well done”

“I had a great experience working with Douglas and William at Simply Garages. They offered a lot of valuable insight during the design phase. My garage was placed in an area with challenging terrain, but they did an excellent job getting the materials to the worksite and completing a beautiful garage in the location I specified. One of the benefits to working with them is that they include site prep in their quote. Some companies don't offer this service which means you have to find a different contractor to prepare the build site. I enjoyed the convenience of one stop shopping. Best of all, even with the change orders, they came within $150 of the price I was quoted. I would highly recommend hiring Simply Garages for your next project.”

Who We Are
Not trying to reinvent construction.
Just trying to run it better.

Virginia-based. Garage-focused. Expanding from the Shenandoah Valley into Richmond and Central Virginia.

Our Story
Built on one principle: do what you say you’re going to do.

For most homeowners, building a detached garage is one of the largest construction projects they’ll ever take on. It involves permitting, scheduling multiple trades, weather delays, and inspections — often with contractors who go quiet for days at a time.

Simply Garages was built to solve that. By focusing exclusively on residential garages, we’ve developed a process that removes the friction and surprises that define too many construction experiences — from Richmond’s suburbs to the Shenandoah Valley.

We’re not the most boutique builder in the market, and we’re not racing to be the cheapest. Our focus is value: a well-built garage through an organized, communicative process that respects your time, money, and expectations.

Simply Garages project

We are

  • Energetic and motivated
  • Organized and process-driven
  • Clear in our communication
  • Focused on setting expectations — then meeting them
  • Efficient without cutting corners
  • Very good at building garages and getting them done

We are not

  • Interested in pretending to be perfect
  • Obsessed with detail that adds cost without value
  • Excessively “high-end” at the expense of practicality
  • Limited in mindset or ambition
  • Dependent on buzzwords to explain our work
Core Values
Eight principles we actually follow.

Not wall art — operating principles we use to make decisions, solve problems, and evaluate how we’re doing.

01

Clarity Over Comfort

We choose clear communication over avoiding awkward conversations. Ambiguity helps no one.

02

Set Expectations — Then Meet Them

Promises matter. We are careful about what we commit to and serious about delivering it.

03

Ownership Without Excuses

When something goes wrong, we own it. We don’t deflect, minimize, or disappear.

04

Organization Is Respect

Being organized respects our customers’ time, money, and trust.

05

Practical Value

We build garages that make sense — structurally, financially, and functionally.

06

Communication Is the Work

Calling, emailing, updating, and explaining are not distractions — they are the job.

07

Consistency Beats Perfection

We aim to be dependable, not flawless. Consistent execution builds trust.

08

Grow Without Losing Ourselves

As we expand into Richmond and beyond, we protect the culture that got us here.
