Expert Accessory building construction in Cary, NC

Accessory building construction adds usable space to your property without touching your main home. At Firm Foundations Homebuilders, we build detached garages, workshops, storage buildings, and backyard studios for homeowners in Cary and the surrounding Triangle area. Owner Erik brings a background in architecture and home inspection to every project, which means he looks at a structure the way an inspector would before a single board goes up. That attention to how buildings are actually put together shows in the finished product. Cary's Land Development Ordinance sets specific rules for accessory structures, including setback distances from side and rear lot lines and size limits tied to your primary home's square footage. We build to those local standards from the start, so your structure is code-compliant and built to last through the heat and humidity of a North Carolina summer. If you are ready to add a detached garage, workshop, or storage building to your Cary property, contact us to talk through your project.
