Q. Does Premier get the permits and drawings, and how long do permits take?
A. Yes, we take care of everything for you, so you can spend your time doing what you like! Typically, we can get drawings and permits within a week; However, on the rare occasion there is a change in city process and regulations, or a tight size, this can cause a delay in the permits for up to 8 weeks.
Q. Can we customize our garage?
A. Yes, our packages are provided to simplify the selection for your garage. We can modify and customize your garage to fit your needs. If you have specific requirements, work with our designer to create your ideal garage plans.
Q. Does Premier Built Garages New Garage Warranty cover concrete?
A. Yes, if we have provided the concrete for your garage pad the warranty does then include the concrete. We select suppliers that guarantee their work and offer a warranty as part of their commitment to quality.
If your concrete was poured by a third-party concrete company or a home builder, those companies will provide you with their own warranty and service coverage, and are responsible for the work they have completed.
Q. Does Premier require a deposit?
A. For your standard garage build we DO NOT take a deposit, and if a contractor does, please ensure they are properly licensed and BONDED that is very important. A bond is insurance against the contractor taking your deposit and not providing services agreed upon, as well, it is illegal to take a deposit unless the company has the proper “Pre-Paid Contractors License” and bond. This license is different from the standard business licenses to operate in Edmonton and surrounding areas which Premier does possess.
For any garages requiring concrete and demolition, we require a down payment. As mentioned, we do hold a “Pre-Paid Contractors License” and are BONDED so you can rest assured your investment is safe.
Q. How long does it take to build my garage?
A. Typically, a garage build is 1 ½ to 2 weeks; Although, we can build a garage in a matter of days, we prefer to stick to our proven quality construction management. This is to ensure that every detail is checked and approved before we hand your garage over to you and your family. This way we guarantee our work and craftsmanship for 3/5/10 years as stated in our warranty.
Q. Can Premier build my garage in the winter?
A. Yes, we build garages year-round. If the concrete pad is already poured, we can easily build on top of that concrete. You just need to ensure that the concrete is cleared of ice and snow. If you want to pour concrete in the winter, there are additional charges and services required to do so, and many concrete providers will not guarantee their work for winter garage pads. We can heat and cover, or upgrade your concrete to grade beam and piles, but our recommendation is to wait until the ground has thawed to pour a garage pad. Waiting is both cost effective and the most reliable option for the best results.
Q. Where does Premier build garages?
A. Generally speaking, we service up to an hour from Edmonton city limits.
Q. Does Premier provide financing?
A. Yes we do! The application can be sent via secure email, from our preferred lender upon request. Once approved, payments will not be processed until completion of your garage.
