Common questions
Does a detached garage need new utility connections?
That depends on its existing services and proposed use. A professional can assess what is already present and what the plan requires.
What site work should I compare?
Ask for the proposed utility routes, any trenching, access needs, and repair of paving or landscaping. Confirm who is responsible for work outside the garage.
How should I compare utility connection options?
Ask the relevant trades to assess existing services and describe alternatives, connection work, and agency or utility charges. Compare the full installed scope.
