FAQ

What do I need to do to my property before the garage arrives?

First, decide exactly where the garage will go and check the permit and setback requirements with Jefferson County Building Permits & Inspections / Code Enforcement Department. Then follow the site requirements for the garage you've selected. Any grading, concrete or other preparation should be based on the final building specifications. Don't prepare the site using rough dimensions if the building hasn't been finalized.

Can I use my metal garage as a workshop too?

Definitely! Just plan for the workshop before deciding on the garage size. A workbench, toolboxes, shelving and equipment can eat up a lot of floor space, especially when you're also parking a vehicle inside. Make sure to give yourself enough room to work comfortably instead of trying to fit a workshop into whatever space happens to be left over.

Can I use a metal garage just for storage?

Yes. Cars don't have to be part of the equation at all. A metal garage can give you enclosed space for tools, lawn equipment, recreational gear and other belongings. If storage is the main purpose, think about shelving and aisle space while planning the building so everything remains accessible once the garage starts filling up.

Do I need a permit for a metal garage in Noah?

That depends on the garage and the requirements of Jefferson County Building Permits & Inspections / Code Enforcement Department. The current rule requires a permit once the garage exceeds No explicit accessory-structure permit-exemption sqft was found. The zoning ordinance separately caps "mini-structures" (storage sheds) at no more than 200 sq ft per lot in most residential districts, but this reads as a maximum storage allowance rather than a no-permit-needed threshold — needs direct clarification. square feet. Check before doing any permanent site work. There may be other requirements tied to your property as well, so getting an answer early can save you from having to change plans later.

Are metal garages a good choice for Georgia?

Metal buildings are utilized throughout Georgia for garages, equipment storage and other residential, agricultural and commercial uses. The important thing is choosing a building appropriate for the project and location. If you're building in Noah, make sure the garage specifications and site plan also meet the local requirements that apply to the property.

Should I pour the concrete before ordering the garage?

Get the garage specifications nailed down first. You want to know the correct dimensions and make sure the planned location meets the rules for Noah before putting permanent concrete in the ground. It's much easier to adjust a garage plan on paper than to deal with a slab that was poured in the wrong place or at the wrong size.

How long does it take to get a metal garage delivered to Noah?

Current delivery time to Noah is approximately 1 to 2 weeks. If your project also involves permitting, grading or concrete, don't wait to do those jobs until the garage is almost ready. Use the delivery window to get the property prepared, and base your schedule on the estimate given for your order.

How much extra room should I allow around my vehicles?

Don't measure a car and make the garage barely wider than the vehicle. You need enough room to open the doors, get in and out, walk around it and reach anything stored nearby. With two vehicles, remember the space between them too. Adding a little breathing room during planning can make a big difference once you use the garage every day.
