And with a full staircase and handrail included, access to your upper level is safe, comfortable, and built to code.

Built for Function. Designed for Flexibility.

Our clear-span truss design means there are no internal support walls on the first floor, giving you a wide-open layout for maximum usability. Whether you’re parking multiple vehicles, moving large equipment, or planning future upgrades like shelving or a workshop, this space is ready for it all—no support posts in your way.

Real Strength. Real Results.

Our attic trusses are engineered for exceptional strength and long-term performance, while allowing for a faster and smoother construction process. Built directly on your concrete pad, this site-built garage isn’t limited by the constraints of modular delivery, giving you more design flexibility and footprint options.

Fast, Efficient Construction.

While this is a site-built garage, our prefabricated wall sections and Amish-led crews streamline the installation process. Most projects are completed in just a few days—not weeks—unlike the drawn-out builds you’d expect from traditional local contractors.

How it Works

• You'll Have a Concrete Pad Poured by Others 
• Our Crew will Bring the Materials - or in Some Cases the Building Materials will be Delivered Separately
• Our Crew will Build Your Garage on Your Concrete Pad
• Concrete Anchors are Used to Attach Your Garage to Your Concrete Pad 
• Engineered Attic Trusses are Used Which Provide the Structural Integrity for the Roof as Well as Creating the Space for the 2nd Floor 
  

Transportation 

• All Building Materials are Typically Delivered on One Load 

Setup Time

• Build Time Varies Depending on Size, Siding & Roofing Type, Dormers, Etc 
• Build Times Typically Range Between Three to Five Days 

Site Access 

• Because Our Site Built Truss Garages are Built at Your Location (without delivering pre-built modules) They are Sometimes the Better Choice for Building Sites with Less Access
• Our Crew Will Need to Drive a Pickup Truck and Trailer to the Building Site
• Our Crew Will Need Adequate Space to Work on all Sides of the Garage During Construction, Typically 3'-4' or More from any Fence, House or Nearby Building 
  
• In Some Cases it May be Necessary to Drive a Lift on All Sides of the Garage During Construction 

Foundation Requirements 

• Our Site Built Truss Garages Require a Concrete Pad 
• The Necessary Thickness of the Concrete Pad Varies Depending on Use and Local Codes, but in all Cases the Perimeter Thickness Will be Greater, this is Commonly Referred to as a Monolithic Concrete Pad
• The Concrete Pad Should be the Exact Width and Length of the Garage. For Example a 24'x36' Truss Garage Would Require a 24'0"x36'0" Concrete Pad 
  
• We Will Anchor the Garage Onto the Concrete Pad with Concrete Anchors 
• Note: AmishCo is Different From Most Local Contractors in That We Do Not Handle All Aspects of Your Project from Beginning to End. Our Focus is Very Narrow: The Garage Itself. As Such We Do Not Provide Site Prep and Concrete Services Ourselves, However We Will Provide You with all Details Necessary for Local Contractors to Handle the Concrete and in Some Locations we can also Provide Referrals for Concrete Contractors

• Pitch: The Pitch of the Truss Determines How Many Inches of Vertical Rise There is on the Roof for Every 12" of Horizontal Run. For Example an 8/12 Pitch Truss Would Indicate That the Roof Rises Vertically 8" for Every 12" of Horizontal Distance, or Run. The Higher the Number, the Steeper the Roof. 
• Attic Truss: An Attic Truss is a Type of Truss That Engineers the Bracing of the Truss Itself in a Way That Allows for a "Room", or Attic Area, in the Truss Itself. The Bottom Cord (or Bottom Horizontal Brace) of the Truss Becomes the Floor for the 2nd Floor with Vertical Bracing on Either Side of the Attic Area on Each Truss as Well as a Shorter Series of Horizontal Bracing Above the Attic Area Creating a Small Ceiling in the Center of the Attic Area. This Truss Design is a Highly Efficient Way to Create a Center Space / Room / Attic Area in the Center of the Truss Creating a 2nd Floor. 

Dormers

• Dormers are an Excellent Way to Maximize Walkable Headspace on the Second Floor. The Two Most Popular Dormers are Shed Dormers and A-Frame Dormers

Built to Last. Designed for More.

AmishCo’s 2 Story Site-Built Truss Garages aren’t just a place to park—they’re a smart, long-term investment in your property’s potential. Whether you're storing vehicles, clearing out space inside your home, or ready to create a second-floor gym, office, hobby room, or storage loft, this garage gives you room to grow.

With a steep 8/12 roof pitch and attic truss construction, you get an efficient second floor—complete with a built-in staircase and handrail—without compromising the open layout of the first floor. It’s the best of both worlds: clear-span functionality below, real square footage above.

Not a Kit. Built On Your Property.

Forget shipping limitations and prefab compromises. These garages are constructed on-site from the ground up by professional AmishCo crews. Using traditional framing methods and engineered trusses, we create a garage that’s tailored to your land and built to code.

You handle the site prep and concrete. We take care of the rest—including drawings and details your builder or permitting office may need. No guesswork. No gimmicks.

Engineered Trusses. Amish Quality.

Every 2 story garage starts with engineered attic trusses that are built for strength and stability. Add in hurricane ties, pressure-treated base plates, 30-year shingles, and LP SmartSide siding, and you’ve got a structure that’s built to handle whatever the seasons bring.

The framing is international code-compliant, the trusses are built for the long haul, and the craftsmanship is exactly what you’d expect from a team of Amish builders who take pride in every detail.

Customize It to Fit Your Needs

Need extra light or headroom upstairs? Add a shed dormer. Want to match your home’s exterior? Choose from multiple siding styles, roofing materials, and garage door configurations. You can even flip the layout to fit your land’s slope or driveway setup.

We offer the right mix of options—without overcomplicating things or upselling unnecessary features.

Let’s Talk

A 2-story site-built garage from AmishCo gives you more than just covered parking—it gives you real space, real flexibility, and real value. It’s not the cheapest option, and it’s not meant to be. This is a long-term solution, built with care, and designed to last.

Ready to see if it’s the right fit? We’ll help you figure out what works for your property, timeline, and budget.

Is a 2-Story Site-Built Garage Right for You?

If you're considering a two-story garage for your home, you're likely thinking about more than just storage. You want usable space. You want something that improves your property and serves a real purpose—today and in the years ahead. That’s exactly where a site-built, Amish-crafted garage shines. Whether you need room for vehicles, storage, hobbies, or future conversion into finished space, a 2 story stick-built garage offers unmatched value and flexibility.

But how do you know it’s the right choice for your situation? Let’s walk through the key benefits and practical considerations to help you make an informed decision.

Why Choose a Site-Built Garage Instead of a Modular Garage?

One of the most common questions we get is whether to choose a modular garage or a stick-built (site-built) garage. Each has its place, but if your site has limited access, or you want more control over layout and build quality, a site-built garage is often the better choice.

Key advantages of site-built garages include:

• No Delivery Constraints: Modular garages are built off-site and delivered in large modules, which may not fit down narrow driveways or into tight backyards. Site-built garages are assembled on your concrete pad, piece by piece, allowing for builds in harder-to-reach places.

• Larger Size Potential: You're not restricted by delivery height or width limits.

• Full-Use Second Floor: Engineered attic trusses provide a clear floor plan upstairs and downstairs, making both levels genuinely usable.

• Superior Customization: From windows and doors to dormers and siding, you get to design the space exactly how you want it.

Common Use Cases for 2-Story Garages

Our customers have found countless ways to make the most of their AmishCo 2 story garage. Here are a few real-world examples to inspire your vision:

• Home Workshop or Woodshop: Keep the noise, dust, and tools out of your main house. Many customers outfit the upper floor with workbenches, power tools, and lumber storage.

• Hobby Room or Art Studio: Add insulation and finish out the upstairs to create a quiet creative space with natural light from optional dormer windows.

• Office or Guest Room: For those needing a dedicated workspace or occasional guest accommodations, a finished second floor offers privacy and separation from the house.

• Gym or Fitness Room: High ceilings and open floor space mean you can install equipment like a squat rack, treadmill, or free weights.

• Storage Loft: Ditch the expensive off-site unit. Keep your holiday decorations, seasonal gear, and extra furniture safe and accessible on your property.

Things to Consider Before Building

While a 2 story garage brings a lot to the table, it’s not a small investment. Taking time to think through these practical questions will help ensure the structure you build meets your long-term needs.

• What is your primary use case? Are you just looking for vehicle storage, or do you plan to use the upper level regularly?

• How will you access the second floor? If you'll use it frequently, make sure to plan for lighting, insulation, and heating/cooling.

• How much space do you really need? Consider both vehicle dimensions and what you plan to store or do upstairs.

• Do local zoning laws allow a 2 story structure? In most cases, yes—but it's worth checking height restrictions and setback requirements before ordering.

• Do you have space for construction crews to work around the pad? Our team needs 3–4 feet around the perimeter during the build - and sometimes more.

Understanding the Engineering: Attic Trusses Explained

The engineered attic truss is what makes the second story possible—and practical. Unlike traditional trusses that crisscross and block upper-level space, attic trusses use a design that creates a "room in the roof."

These trusses support your roof while also forming the walls and ceiling of the second floor. That means:

• The entire upper level is clear and unobstructed.

• There are no posts or beams breaking up your space.

• You get true structural strength engineered for residential loads.

For those unfamiliar with this type of framing, it’s worth noting this isn’t an add-on attic—it’s part of the original plan from the ground up.

The Build Timeline: What to Expect

Another big question we hear is, “How long will this take?”

Thanks to prefab wall panels and a highly experienced Amish-led crew, construction usually takes just 3 to 5 days after materials arrive. You’ll already have the concrete pad in place, and we’ll handle the rest. It’s fast, efficient, and reliable.

Most customers are surprised by how quickly the structure goes up—and how professional the crew is throughout the process.

Customization Without Confusion

We offer multiple siding types, roofing styles, and garage door designs—but we won’t overwhelm you with unnecessary choices. Instead, we focus on the most commonly requested and best-performing options. Here’s how to think about the key ones:

• Siding: Want a rustic look? Choose pine board and batten. Matching your home’s exterior? Go with vinyl or Hardie Plank. Want long-term durability and style? LP SmartSide is our standard for a reason.

• Roofing: Architectural shingles are included, but if you want a metal roof, choose from ribbed or standing seam options in various colors.

• Garage Doors: From simple to carriage-style, we offer door designs that suit your style, budget, and insulation needs.

• Windows and Dormers: Add light, ventilation, and curb appeal. Dormers (shed or A-frame) also increase headroom upstairs.

Everything is modular, so you can pick and choose what you want without having to start from scratch.

Matching Style With Function

One of the biggest upsides of a custom garage is that it can be tailored to fit the look of your home. From roof pitch and color to trim style and window placement, every element can work together for a cohesive, high-end appearance.

Customers often tell us their finished garage looks like it came with the house—and that’s the goal. Whether your home is modern farmhouse, traditional, or country cottage, we can help you dial in the design to blend in beautifully.

Second Floor: Unfinished or Finished Later?

One great thing about our 2 story garages is that you can start with an unfinished second floor and finish it later. The structure is already designed to handle live loads, so when you're ready, you can insulate, run wiring, and drywall without worrying about retrofitting.

This approach gives you financial flexibility—you don’t have to do it all at once.

Permitting, Drawings, and Concrete: What You Handle vs. What We Handle

AmishCo focuses on the garage itself—we do not handle concrete or permitting directly. However, we provide everything you or your local contractor need to succeed:

• Detailed elevation and framing drawings

• Foundation specs tailored to your garage size

• Support if you have questions during permitting

We’re also happy to refer you to concrete contractors in some areas or help you review your site prep plans.

How a 2 Story Garage Adds Value to Your Home

From a real estate standpoint, a well-built 2-story garage is one of the best investments you can make on your property.

• Expanded Usable Square Footage: Even unfinished, the second story offers significant storage and functional space.

• Curb Appeal: A garage that matches your home adds symmetry and visual value.

• Increased Property Functionality: Whether it’s a workshop, home office, or guest quarters, you're adding lifestyle upgrades buyers look for.

• Improved Storage and Organization: A clean, organized garage can declutter the home and add perceived value when it’s time to sell.

Why Customers Choose AmishCo

With so many garage builders out there, why do homeowners across the country trust AmishCo? Here’s what sets us apart:

• Specialization: We focus exclusively on Amish-made structures, which means we’ve dialed in every detail.
