Garage Build Solutions for Maryland Homeowners with Big Ideas (and Even Bigger Hobbies)
In Ellicott City, Westminster, and across the backroads of Maryland, one thing’s clear, our homeowners are passionate people. Whether it’s restoring vintage cars, maintaining fishing boats, or tinkering with tools, these hobbies take up space. And let’s be honest, the two-car garage that came with your home? It probably wasn’t designed with your lifestyle in mind.
Some families need more space for their outdoor gear like four-wheelers, motorcycles, kayaks, you name it. Others simply want room for a functional workshop. Somewhere to escape, focus, and build. And then there are families expanding in more ways than one, with parents moving in or adult kids moving back home.
That’s where the idea of a custom garage build starts to gain traction. Because what you need isn’t just more room, it’s the right kind of room. A garage that works for your lifestyle, your hobbies, and your family. And with Viking Brothers Contracting, that vision is more than doable, it’s already halfway built in your head.
Garage Build Ideas That Fit Your Property and Your Dreams
When your existing space isn’t cutting it, a smartly designed garage build can change everything. With a detached garage build, you finally get the workshop you’ve been dreaming of. It can be fully powered, insulated, and customized to suit your tools, lighting, and workflow. And best of all? No more sawdust on the driveway or lawn.
If you’re more focused on function than form, a garage addition can give your vehicles the shelter they deserve. Boats, motorcycles, four-wheelers, and classic cars all need proper storage, especially with Maryland’s unpredictable weather. A new garage addition protects your investments while adding resale value to your property.
Some homeowners take it a step further. Add a second story, and suddenly your garage becomes a private apartment. It’s ideal for aging parents, visiting family, or even short-term rental income. The space stays separate but still connected. With the right layout, it’s the best of both worlds.
Looking for even more flexibility? Consider a pole barn garage. These larger structures are a great solution for RV owners and anyone with oversized equipment. With their open-span design and customizable height, pole barns are perfect for housing campers, trailers, or a whole fleet of weekend toys.
Depending on how your home sits on your lot, Viking Brothers can recommend the best approach. Whether it’s attached or a standalone detached garage build, our team evaluates the site, zoning, and design options during your consultation. We bring the ideas, you bring the passion.

What Our Clients Say
Viking Brothers just renovated my sad, cracked 1952 bathroom, and now it is so gorgeous, I can’t believe it’s actually mine. They are responsive, prompt, courteous, and cleaned up beautifully.
They are very knowledgeable and helpful, whether or not you know what you want. This was the first time I’d done a substantial renovation, and they were able to relieve a lot of my anxiety.
We had a kitchen back splash installed and it looks beautiful!! Viking Brothers were honest, punctual on a daily basis and completed the job within the projected time. I recommend this company!
Dave has been doing work for us for over 10 years. He is reliable, good at communicating, honest, and does great work at an even better price! He’s done everything from handyman type work, to refinishing our basement, adding cabinets to our kitchen, installing a built in office desks and cabinets, tile work, etc. We recommend him to all of our family and friends and everyone looking for someone to help with their projects!
David and his crew at Viking Bros Contracting did an amazing job on my bathroom renovation! Their level of professionalism and knowledge is second to none. They were also very willing to work with me to make my vision come true, even when it made the project take more time.I’ve hated my bathroom for years, and now I love the space. It is not only aesthetically pleasing, but very functional and comfortable, whereas my old bathroom was outdated, small, and didn’t fit my needs. I had two bathrooms which I wanted converted into one large bathroom. Also, the entire crew was so friendly and easy to work with. I highly recommend them for all your renovation needs!
The work by Viking Brothers exceeded our hopes. Our front porch supports and railings needed replaced. We contacted David and his team and from the first meeting until the work was completed, were completely amazed by his knowledge and patience.
We felt like we had a dedicated team taking care of us every step of the way. The work was done professionally and the craftsmen were top quality. Our project was rather small, but never the less, the dedication they showed to getting the job done to our specifications indicates a very high level of professionalism throughout their company. They made us very happy.
I would highly recommend Viking Brothers to anyone needing a contractor, they truly know what they’re doing!
I contracted with Viking Brothers to pull down a chimney and patch the roof where the chimney protruded. They arrived promptly and worked diligently through the day.They were professional and friendly. Everything was completed as contracted. I looked at the roof after and if I didn’t know the chimney was there beforehand, I would have guessed it never had one. I could not tell between the original roof and the patch, they did a great job. I will contact them again for future renovations.
Viking Brothers staff completed 3 tile projects for us and a bathroom remodel (tile and plumbing reconfiguration). Each project is gorgeous (even though different staff did the tile work for the three projects). Consistent quality and attention to detail. Highly recommend!
Viking Brothers exceeded our expectations in every way. Dave is great with communicating and the timeline was spot on. Every person who worked in my house was friendly and willing to take time to explain things to me/answer my questions. We are enjoying our beautiful updated basement and plan to hire them for future projects.
Although I have never used Viking Brothers, I worked with the owner (David) for an extent of time. The amount of knowledge and thoroughness that David had/has far exceeded that of anyone we worked with, not to mention he taught me most things I know today.
So glad he has started his own company and is where he should be. In a world where most contractors focus on making money, forfeiting quality, it’s hard to come across people like David that have both in mind. I would recommend him any day.
Viking Brothers replaced the deck on the front of our house. Dave was very responsive and has excellent communication with the customer during the entire process. The workmanship is outstanding and the crew is very professional.
I was very impressed by the quality of work Viking Brothers performed in such a short notice. We needed our kitchen floor installed before my daughter’s wedding (I had 2 weeks to get it done). David came in gave me an estimate and was able to start the next day.
Despite being a job that needed to be expedited the workmanship was not compromised at all. I would recommend Viking Brothers to anyone needing a licensed contractor.
We highly recommend Viking Brothers Contracting to all our family and friends. David and China are a pleasure to work with. We will certainly call on them when we want any other work done here.
Viking gutted an existing bedroom in our 100-year old house back to the studs and floor joists. They installed sleepers on the floor joists before covering with new plywood. The walls and ceiling were covered in drywall and primed.The floor boards were re-used to the trim the windows, doors, and closets. New closets were installed and old kitchen cabinets were inside the closet for new storage. Viking’s work is excellent and we received a good value for the spend. We will hire them again for our next project.
