What people build in Hastings
Older town lots, newer neighborhoods and farm ground at the metro’s southeast edge.
Detached garages
The most common request on a town lot. Tubular steel is usually the answer at this size.
Hobby shops
Insulated shops for projects and storage, sized to fit within the city’s limits.
Boat & RV storage
Settle the door before the footprint. Every two feet of eave above twelve adds roughly five percent to the frame.
Machine sheds
Equipment storage on the farms around town. Red iron takes over past eighty feet.

The application

- Mechanical, plumbing and electrical permit applications where they apply.
In Hastings, the house decides how big the building can be. If the home already has an attached garage, the lot gets one accessory building up to 1,000 sq ft. We check what’s on the lot before we size the building, so it fits the first time.
We also serve Cottage Grove, Rosemount, Prescott and Vermillion. See the Twin Cities metro or all of Minnesota.
