Tall Pines Building

We finished up this beautiful workshop build in southern Deschutes County here in Bend. This garage is fully insulated, with large rv doors, lean to, patio, and even a basketball court. The barnwood metal siding and custom awnings really set this structure apart!

Selecting the right lean to width can be confusing. Here’s an example of what a 12 foot wide shed on your garage might look like.

Having great subcontractors makes projects a great team experience on any build. Approaching jobs as a team can be the difference between crews collecting a check and crews watching your back.

Don’t underestimate the importance of where you place your man door on your new garage build. Out here in Deschutes County. You never know what the weather is gonna throw at you.

Achieve a dynamic, multi-level look with staggered rooflines between your main structure and lean-to sides. This simple building technique adds visual depth and architectural interest, making a straightforward build appear more complex and impressive.

Slab on grade drainage is critical. We're establishing our highest point to ensure proper water flow across the entire build site. This is the key to a successful foundation.

When looking at concrete, we're often focused on the top. But understanding the bottom? That's where the real view begins. Notice how far off the ground we are.

Even though it looks high up, building with proper drainage away from the structure is crucial. It prevents water pooling and avoids costly moisture issues, especially in winter. A little extra work now saves a lot of headaches later.
