Backyard structures should feel like an extension of your home, not an afterthought.
In Toronto, that means building for real conditions: freeze-thaw cycles, moisture, shifting ground, and year-round use. At SZ Obsidian Builds, we approach every project from the ground up, with a focus on structure, durability, and long-term performance.
A detached garage is one of the most valuable additions you can make to your property. It adds storage, protects vehicles, and increases resale value of your home.
Key Parts of a Well-Built Detached Garage
Foundation designed for Toronto soil and frost conditions
Framing built to handle load and seasonal movement
Roofing and exterior finishes that match your home
Proper ventilation and moisture control
We build garages that are square, level, and structurally sound from day one, not something that needs constant fixing.

Whether you need:
Single or Double Car
Storage-Focused
Fully Finished
