Brand-New Detached Garage and Shop in Belton, TX

Location: Richland Dr, Belton, TX

Price: $98,121

Part One: Initial Consultation

Chris and Cheryl wanted to add something to their Belton property that most homeowners only dream about: a proper detached garage with a dedicated shop.

They came to us with a clear vision: they needed room for two cars and for work, and they wanted it to look like it had always been part of the house. 

We scheduled a home visit to walk the property, understand the site, and map out what it would take to make their vision a reality.

From there, we moved into a full design and development phase so Chris and Cheryl could see exactly what they were getting before any construction began.

During the in-home consultation, we learned everything we needed to solve...

no storage or workspace

The goal was a two-car garage with a connected shop that would give them a functional workspace.

needs to match house

The new garage had to complement the existing home’s brick, stone, siding, and roofline.

a zoning problem

The originally planned footprint would encroach on the city’s building line.

The project needed an extended concrete driveway to tie the new structure into the property.

Part Two: The Design, Planning, Permitting

Before breaking ground, we provided conceptual designs and detailed space planning, resolved the zoning setback, and engineered a custom foundation for the site’s expansive clay soils.

Part Three: The Time Schedule

Chris and Cheryl’s project ran from first conversation to final install in just under a year, with the bulk of construction wrapped in about four months.

May - Nov

Design agreement signed, zoning setback resolved, structural engineers engaged, and foundation designed. The final construction proposal was accepted November 24.

Early Dec

Concrete forms laid and termite pre-treatment completed. Pre-pour inspection passed, and the main slab was poured within the same week.

Dec - Jan

Rough framing and roofing were installed to dry in the structure. Windows delivered, insulation installed, and all framing inspections passed.

Jan - Feb

Drywall installed and textured. Exterior brick and stone masonry matched to the home. LVP flooring, interior trim, privacy fence, and mini-split HVAC all completed.

Late Feb

Driveway prepped, inspected, and re-poured within days. We discovered that the wrong garage door model had been installed, so we immediately reordered the correct one.

Mar - Apr

Gutters, window sills, exterior door, and conduit sealing completed. Final city inspection passed on March 23. Finally, we installed the correct garage door and did final touch-ups on April 1.

From an empty backyard to a fully finished, climate-controlled workspace that looks like it was always part of their home.

359 sq. ft. Garage with 181 sq. ft. Shop

This project included:

We sourced the Wayne Dalton Model 491, an insulated overhead door with gray-tinted windows, and had it installed with high-ceiling rails to maximize clearance. 

Year-Round Climate Control

A dedicated mini-split HVAC system keeps the shop usable in Central Texas heat and cold alike. It’s a year-round workspace that’s ready for whatever Chris and Cheryl have in mind.

Materials and Finishes That Match The Home

Our team selected brick, stone, 12″ lap siding, and dimensional shingles specifically chosen to blend with the existing structure. From the street, the new garage reads as an original part of the property.

I love my 3 dimensional roof shingles with a 30 years lifetime guarantee and comes with 5 year warranty. The project was completely finished in one day.

The clean up was great, no nails or debris left for me to clean. The staff is pleasant and very accommodating. I highly recommend Gill Construction!

Gill Construction just completed our new patio cover and installed a ceiling fan and a new light. Their work is amazing! Steven, the carpenter, worked diligently and paid attention to detail. We are very happy with the results!

They had previously replaced our roof so we knew they did quality work!

Hired Steven and his crew for a shower remodel. Very easy to work with and coordinate the job. His crew was very professional and made sure to leave every day as clean and tidy as not to be a burden on us.

They arrived every day at 8. Very happy with the result. The only downside was that the job was quoted 5 to 7 days but ended up being 11 days in total.
