How much does a detached garage cost in Regina in 2026?

Garages are our most quoted project every spring, and the first question is always the same: what does it cost? Here are honest 2026 numbers for Regina, and the things that move them.

The baseline

A 24 by 24 detached double garage with a monolithic slab, 2x6 framing, engineered trusses, asphalt shingles, vinyl siding, one 16 by 7 overhead door and a man door starts around $42,000 including permit. That is a finished, weather-tight, unheated garage with lights and outlets.

What adds cost

• Size. Going to 24 by 26 or 26 by 28 adds roughly $60 to $70 per square foot.
• Heat. In-slab heating with a boiler or an overhead gas unit heater adds $4,000 to $9,000.
• Doors. A second overhead door, an insulated door or a high-lift track for a hoist each add.
• Finishing. Insulation, drywall and paint inside run $6,000 to $10,000 for a double.
• Site. Removing an old garage and slab, or hauling in fill for a low lot, adds $3,000 to $8,000.

What saves money

Matching the siding to your house is not the expensive part; changing the roof pitch or adding dormers is. A simple gable roof, standard trusses and stock doors keep the price down. Booking for early spring or late fall often gets you a better slot too.

Permits and setbacks

The City of Regina limits garage height, requires setbacks from the property line and back lane, and caps the percentage of your lot that can be covered. Older neighbourhoods with narrow lots sometimes need a minor variance. We check all of this at the site visit so the quote is for a garage you can actually build.
