Garages in Chesapeake, Virginia
Why Chesapeake Homeowners Choose Detached Garages
Foundation prep on Coastal Plain sandy loam typically requires a properly graded gravel pad to prevent shifting and moisture problems.
Space. suburban to rural properties with a mix of subdivisions and larger lots, typically a quarter acre to over an acre — a single-car garage (12×20 to 14×24) fits most Chesapeake properties. Two-car garages (24×24 to 24×30) need wider lots but add serious property value. We’ll help you maximize the footprint your lot allows while meeting setback requirements.
Permits. Garages over 256 square feet require a building permit in Virginia. Structures under 256 square feet are exempt from building permits. Setbacks are 5–10 feet on the side and 10 feet at the rear in residential districts. Garage doors, ceiling height, and foundation type may have additional requirements in your jurisdiction. For specifics on your lot, reach out to Chesapeake Development & Permits ((757) 382-6018).
