In Southlake, Texas, Robert Hames faced a common dilemma: a growing family, a passion for classic cars, and a two-car garage bursting at the seams. The solution? A bold decision to downsize the existing garage and build a detached, custom space that would cater to both his lifestyle and his love for hot rods.
The Quest for an Affordable Custom Garage
Robert sought quotes from several contractors, but the cost of a custom garage seemed out of reach. However, fate intervened during a work trip. Driving through Cleburne, he spotted the Ulrich Lifestyle Structures’ facility. Intrigued, he stopped in and spoke with a designer. The possibility of a custom garage suddenly seemed within grasp.
Designing the Perfect Workshop and Storage Space
Robert's vision was clear: a garage as wide as his property allowed, long enough to fit multiple vehicles, and free of interior poles to maximize workspace. The Ulrich garage design, with its potential for nearly 1,000 square feet of upstairs storage, ticked all the boxes. It was also a more budget-friendly option compared to traditional builds.
From Vision to Reality in Under a Month
The Ulrich team, known for our efficient construction process, didn't disappoint. In less than 30 days, Robert's dream garage, a testament to our high standards, rose from the foundation, complete with a second-story loft. The swift construction timeline impressed Robert, leaving him eager to put his personal touch on the space.
A Functional Space for the Automotive Enthusiast
With the structure complete, Robert took the reins. He designed a layout for three cars, adding workbenches, cabinets, and pegboards for meticulous tool organization. The addition of recessed lighting, bamboo siding, and even an air conditioning unit (originally for the loft) ensured that the space was not just comfortable, but also highly functional. This was a space where he could tinker with his hot rods, feeling practical and efficient.
The Joy of a Custom-Built Sanctuary
Robert's Ulrich custom garage is more than just a place to park cars; it's a testament to his passion and resourcefulness. He now has the space to disassemble, rebuild, and admire his classic cars, surrounded by the necessary tools and amenities. The garage has become his haven, a source of pride, and a roaring success.
