Prefab vs. Built-On-Site Garages | Adirondack Corp. 

The Case for Prefab Garages

A prefab (pre-fabricated) garage is constructed in our controlled environment and delivered to your site. This is a popular option for homeowners in towns like Glenmont and Endicott who want a fast, high-quality solution.

• Speed of Installation: Because the building arrives mostly or fully assembled, your "construction zone" time is reduced to a single delivery day.

• Cost-Efficiency: Building in our facility allows us to streamline labor and materials, often making prefab a more budget-friendly choice.

• Quality Control: Every prefab garage is built with our sustainable, locally sourced rough-cut lumber under strict supervision, ensuring it meets our high standards before it ever leaves our yard.

The Case for Built-On-Site Garages

For some properties, such as those in the steep terrain of Sullivan or Delaware Counties, a prefab delivery may not be feasible. In these cases, our expert crews bring the "Veteran Precision" directly to you.

• Difficult Access: If your driveway is too narrow or has low-hanging obstacles that prevent a delivery truck from entering, building on-site is the necessary path.

• Maximum Customization: While our prefab units are highly customizable, building on-site allows for even greater flexibility in matching the exact architectural nuances of your primary residence in places like Westbury or Farmingdale.

• No Size Limits: Built-on-site projects allow for larger footprints that may exceed the dimensions safely transportable on New York or Pennsylvania highways.

Shared Quality: The Adirondack Standard

Regardless of which method you choose, every Adirondack Corp. garage is built to endure the Northeast's harshest winters.

• 40-Year Roofing: Every structure features our 40-year non-prorated roofing warranty, perfect for the heavy snow loads in Otsego and Schoharie Counties.

• Sustainable Materials: We prioritize locally sourced wood to ensure your garage is as environmentally friendly as it is durable.

• Local Expertise: We understand the specific building codes and requirements for all 21 counties we service, including Wayne and Pike in PA.

Note: While we offer a wide range of garage and storage solutions, please note that our pole barns are not intended for equestrian use.
