Fall is one of the best times of year to start a garage project in Edmonton. The weather is still mild enough for construction, the ground is workable, and you can take advantage of high material availability before the winter slowdown. Whether you’re a contractor taking on multiple projects, a DIYer ready to tackle a personal build, or a homeowner planning an upgrade, now is the perfect time to get started.
At Northland Building Supplies, we’ve been a trusted name in Edmonton’s garage building market for over 30 years. From high-quality materials to complete design-and-build services, we help you build the perfect garage.
Why Build Your Garage in Fall?
Many Edmonton homeowners and contractors wait until spring or summer to think about new construction. But by planning a fall garage build, you can avoid long wait times and beat the rush that happens when the snow melts.
- Ideal Weather Conditions – Fall temperatures are cool but not freezing, making it comfortable for crews to work and suitable for materials like concrete and asphalt.
- Better Material Availability – As peak building season winds down, access to in-stock materials often improves, leading to fewer delays.
- Winter Readiness – Build your garage before the snow arrives to safely store vehicles, tools, and equipment all season long.
Standard and Custom Garages
If you’re looking for a functional space that’s built to last, our standard and custom garages are a great choice. We offer packages in a variety of styles and sizes to match your needs, whether you want a simple single-car garage or a fully customized multi-vehicle space.
We operate a state-of-the-art truss plant right here in Edmonton, and our highly experienced designers can create a package that suits your exact requirements. Not interested in a DIY build? Our professional team can handle every step, from excavation to a turnkey finished garage, so you can enjoy your new space without the stress of managing the project yourself.
When your garage is complete, you’ll have more than just a place to park; you’ll have a structure designed to complement your home, enhance your property value, and stand up to Alberta’s tough weather conditions.
Garden Suite Garages
Looking to generate extra income or expand your living space? Garden suite garages are an excellent way to add a fully functional rental unit to your property. We can design and build a garden suite garage for almost any lot size, giving you the perfect mix of storage and livable space.
Our design staff is deeply familiar with Edmonton’s zoning bylaws, so you can feel confident that your investment will be built to code. Whether you plan to rent the suite to tenants or use it for family, our team manages the entire process so you don’t have to navigate permits and regulations alone.
Living Loft Garages
For homeowners looking to maximize their space, a living loft garage provides the flexibility to add an extra room above the garage. These lofts can be used as home offices, guest suites, or even short-term rentals. Some are called nanny suites and are perfect for housing parents, adult children, or visiting friends.
Our team will help you design a layout that balances comfort and functionality, ensuring that the space meets your unique needs while maintaining the quality and durability Northland is known for.
Attic and Loft Storage Garages
If storage is your primary goal, our attic and loft storage garages are designed to give you more vertical space without increasing your garage’s footprint. Special attic storage trusses allow for a 40-pound per square foot load rating, the same as a standard house floor system.
The centre area height of 6’4” means most people can walk comfortably in the space, while our loft trusses provide a peak head height of 8’1” for even more storage capacity. Access is made safe and simple with a top-quality insulated attic ladder.
Get Started Before Winter
If you’ve been thinking about adding a garage to your property, don’t wait until the snow flies. Building now means you can enjoy the benefits of extra space, secure parking, and weather protection all winter long.
