This 30′ x 38′ Empire Series garage, built on site in Brookline, NH, is a bold and functional two-story structure crafted for strength, space, and style. Combining the clean look of vinyl siding with a durable, engineered frame and a full second floor, this build showcases New England Outdoor’s high-quality craftsmanship and attention to every construction detail.
The garage is built on the homeowner’s concrete pad with a green plate, featuring 2″ x 6″ walls standing 9’3″ high and framed 16 inches on center. Sheathed with 7/16″ OSB on both walls and roof, the structure delivers long-lasting durability and rigidity. The exterior is finished in standard-color vinyl siding, complete with house wrap, white vented soffits, and 12-inch overhangs for added protection and curb appeal.
A 10-pitch roof framed with 2×10 rafters spaced 16″ on center forms a striking roofline, complemented by a 28-foot shed dormer that expands the upstairs space and natural light. This roof system is finished with GAF Timberline shingles in standard colors, a first-row ice and water shield, synthetic underlayment, and a rapid ridge vent for ventilation and all-weather performance.
Inside, the second floor is engineered with truss joists, a steel beam supported by two posts, and 3/4″ tongue-and-groove sheathing, creating a wide-open, usable space accessed by an L-shaped staircase with handrail. The garage’s main level features three 10’x10′ insulated raised-panel garage doors with glass, plus two 3′ fiberglass entry doors with 9-lite glass, all in standard paint colors.
Natural light floods both levels through a mix of single and triple insulated white windows, while architectural drawings guided every step of the design and build.
This Empire Series garage delivers everything New England homeowners look for—large-scale vehicle storage, a functional workshop or loft space, and a strong, weather-resistant design built for decades of reliable service.
