Services
Custom Garage Building
We design and build custom garages tailored to individual storage needs and aesthetic preferences. Our process begins with personalized consultations to determine dimensions, material selection, and design elements. Using precision-cut components and state-certified trusses, we ensure structural integrity while maintaining visual appeal. Each project includes lifetime warranties on critical components like vinyl siding and overhead doors.
Truss Engineering
Our engineered house trusses provide superior structural support and storage capabilities. Manufactured in controlled environments using automated equipment, these trusses meet strict safety standards while allowing for attic storage options. Steel hurricane clips and expansion h-clips ensure long-term durability against Midwestern weather conditions.
Concrete Work
We provide reinforced concrete foundations designed for Wisconsin's climate. Our 4-inch monolithic slabs use 6-bag mix concrete rated above 4,000 PSI with thickened edge perimeters and compacted fill bases. Raised concrete curbs and sloped flooring ensure proper drainage while anchor bolts guarantee secure structural connections.
Overhead Door Installation
We install insulated steel overhead doors with baked enamel finishes and guaranteed non-sag headers. Available in multiple configurations, these doors feature security locking systems and weather-resistant construction. Our installation process ensures proper alignment with reinforced door headers for lasting performance.
Vinyl Siding Installation
Our .042 gauge vinyl siding provides low-maintenance exterior protection with aesthetic appeal. This durable finish resists weather damage while maintaining its appearance through changing seasons. The siding is part of our comprehensive package that includes structural sheathing and roofing materials for complete exterior solutions.

Report
We had American garage builders put up a 24 x 16 foot garage with an 8 x 10 attached patio. The project was completed in October 2020. It looked nice and we got several compliments on it. Last week the ceiling fell down. Since it was more than a year, the company will not help with repairs. We feel that proper workmanship would have prevented the ceiling from falling in such a short period of time.
In fairness, the company was willing to recommend someone to hire for the repair. We feel that since their first choice of quality work was very questionable, we could not risk another choice. We are now Very disappointed with American garage builders.

My experience with American garage builders was extremely Pleasant, The day I set up an interview Pat was early and we ironed out the details in about an hour! Pat explain everything very well and in full detail, within three weeks the slab is poured, and the day they built the garage it took one day to build a two car garage! The craftsmanship was excellent, and all the detail work was done very professionally. I just wanted to thank Pat and American garage builders for their excellent workmanship, communication and price! Their price was by far the best! I highly recommend them!

I highly recommend American Garage Builders, especially Bob Michelini and his crew! They built me a large garage with an attic. I am happy with the quality materials and work and excellent customer service. After talking to a few other garage builders, Bob presented the best solution for building on our sloped lot. He worked with my husband and I on the build, from start to finish, keeping us updated on the process and timelines, and the crew finished building when promised. Bob is a true professional and a pleasure to work with!

Great experience with these fellows. Only took a few months start to finish without any delays. Tom was excellent about staying in touch about supply considerations (c19 has had a big impact on prices and timing) and was very communicative about timelines as they were able to plan. They were flexible with my own changes as they came up. Top marks, I doubt I'll need another garage but if I did I'd go with AGB again.

American Garage Builders are top notch. The foreman, Tom Lamberson, is great to work with. They built a 24' x 26' garage and I am very satisfied with their work. From the extensive concrete work to the shingles on the roof. I highly recommend American Garage Builders.

I had American Garage Builders build my 2 car garage. The quality of the product is very good. The service not so good. They builder broke the side light to my house bringing in materials to the build site. They did not offer to pay for or fix the side light. They promised the project would be finished in 1 to 2 days tops and that did not happen. I had to wait an additional 3 weeks after the build was supposed to be finished to get the garage door and opener. I would not use American Garage Builders again for any reason.
