The customer needed a detached garage that could handle daily use. Space on the property called for a full-size structure with room to work and store equipment. A 16x24 footprint gave the right balance of floor area and headroom. We built the Luxe Gable structure on site in Post Falls. The thickened-edge concrete slab we installed to meet code requirements was inspected by city inspector. The walls rise to nine feet for comfortable clearance. Engineered wood lap siding covers the main walls while shake siding fills the gables. Lap siding and shakes stand up well to North Idaho weather. They resist moisture and hold their shape through freeze-thaw cycles. Composition roofing sheds rain and snow without issue. Vents keep air moving through the building year-round. Large windows bring in natural light for daytime work. A garage door makes it simple to roll equipment in and out. The full set of city permits means the finished building meets every local requirement. The completed workshop sits clean and ready for use. It gives the customer a durable detached garage and workspace that fits the property and the climate.
We built it to pass every inspection with the City of Post Falls.

The City of Post Falls requires permits for structures of this size and use. Full permitting ensures the building meets local codes for setbacks, foundations, and construction. Passing every inspection gives the owner a legal and reliable workspace.
Nine-foot walls create extra headroom for tools, storage racks, and taller equipment. The added height also improves airflow and makes the space feel open during long work sessions. It turns a basic shed into a true functional workshop.
Engineered wood lap siding resists moisture and stays straight through North Idaho seasons. Shake siding in the gables adds texture while providing the same weather resistance. Together they form a durable exterior that needs only basic maintenance.
Yes. Composition roofing is a proven choice for Kootenai County winters. It handles snow and rain effectively when installed on a proper pitch. The material lasts for years with minimal upkeep.
Large windows bring natural light into the workspace so daytime projects need less artificial lighting. Vents keep air circulating to reduce moisture buildup. Both features make the building more comfortable and practical for regular use.
