Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for a detached garage in Columbia, SC?add
Yes, a detached garage requires a building permit and inspections. As a licensed home builder, Chonko Construction handles the permits and inspections across Richland and Lexington County as part of the build.
Can a detached garage match my house?add
Yes. Chonko Construction builds detached garages to match the home's rooflines, siding, and trim so the structure looks original to the property, not added on.
How much does a detached garage cost in Columbia, SC?add
Cost depends on size (one-, two-, or three-car), foundation, and finish. Every Chonko Construction project starts with a written scope, schedule, and price before work begins. Typical Midlands ranges are published in our detached garage cost guide.
How do I find out if my detached garage is feasible and what it will cost?add
Start with a Project Blueprint. For $297, a licensed professional visits your Columbia-area property and delivers a written feasibility read on your detached garage (setbacks, foundation, and a preliminary budget range). The $297 credits 100% toward your build if you proceed.
