Own A Garage You Can Be Proud Of!



2 Story Doublewide Garage, Wood-Tex Products

When you visit Wood-Tex Products at their home location of Himrod, NY on beautiful Seneca Lake you will see their newest model construction project underway; a  24'x36' Two StoryDoublewide Garage that will feature a completely finished apartment on the second story. Finished living space is not limited to the second story as portions of the first floor can be finished as well giving extra storage space a plethora of new possibilities. From a home office, guest house, or extra living space to a possible rental unit, summer kitchen or vacation cottage this is one way to maximize your investment in a new structure.

For each use of your finished living space there are many returns on your investment. Perhaps most easily measured is the possibility of a financial return through use as a rental property but equally as significant are the options of having private living quarters for guests or family nearby.


Garage apartments are a particularly efficient and affordable way to provide for both vehicles and living space. When asked about the benefits of the new line of garages regional sales manager Matt Lapp advised, “Finishing the upstairs of a garage is less expensive than buying two separate structures, like a cabin and garage, with the same sized footprint.” It’s a good point to consider, why not make your dollars stretch further and get everything you need and want from one structure?

Like all the structures built at Wood-Tex Products these garage apartments are highly customizable allowing for optimum flexibility and satisfaction. The floor plan, roof style, pitch, and accents can all be changed to allowing it to reflect your own personal style and tastes. Offering bothA-Frame or Gambrel roof styles with flat and A-Frame dormers the stylistic possibilities are many.

On the practical side of things the apartment is completely sealed off from the garage so smells, sounds, and even dust from the garage will not transfer up to the clean living area.

“There is much more demand for small efficient homes like this now than there’s ever been” remarked Ben Lapp, Branch Manager of the facilities in Himrod “I definitely see this as a growing market, especially in the Finger Lakes Area.” Having a cottage along one of the lakes can be a challenge because of the high price of land so the affordability of these new homes is very appealing.

The people at Wood-Tex Products focus on bringing about the realization of their customers’ dreams through experiences and structures that will last a lifetime. To them, offering these functional apartments is another way of making dreams a reality, and that is very exciting!
