Liamar: Custom Garages, ADUs, and Accessory Buildings in New Jersey
Liamar is a New Jersey-based contractor specializing in the design and construction of custom garages, accessory dwelling units (ADUs), and a wide range of accessory buildings. Their work covers everything from simple single-car garages to fully finished living spaces, workshops, and backyard structures — all built on-site and tailored to each client's specific needs.
As an ADU contractor and accessory dwelling unit builder, Liamar handles projects that include:
- Attached and detached garages
- Garage additions and expansions
- Living spaces and accessory dwelling units
- Pavilions, pergolas, and gazebos
- Home offices and home gyms
- Large workshop spaces
- RV and boat storage
- Commercial and contractor equipment space
- Art studios, music studios, and creative spaces
- Home theaters, man caves, and she sheds
- Salon and childcare spaces
- Personal on-site retreats and pool houses
All structures are built from the ground up using premium lumber, and Liamar manages the full scope of each project — from zoning and permits through foundation, framing, electrical, plumbing, and heating — in compliance with New Jersey building codes. Their buildings are engineered to withstand wind speeds of up to 100 mph.
How Liamar Differs from Prefabricated Options
Many prefabricated shed and outbuilding manufacturers offer standardized solutions built with OSB panels, minimal wall framing, and no interior finishes. These structures typically arrive as empty shells, leaving the buyer to separately arrange foundation work, electrical installation, insulation, drywall, plumbing, and permit approvals.
Liamar takes a different approach. Every structure is built on-site, custom to the client's specifications, using quality materials. Their service includes:
- Zoning review and permit applications
- Code-compliant drawings and inspection coordination
- Foundation and slab work
- Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC installation
- Material selection and finish coordination
They operate across Monmouth, Mercer, Ocean, and Burlington counties, verifying setbacks, impervious coverage limits, and local wind and snow load requirements before drawing plans. For properties in flood zones, they address base flood elevation requirements and design foundations accordingly. They also work with HOA guidelines and historic district requirements when applicable.
Liamar builds single-car, two-car, and three-car garages, as well as carriage-house and lofted garages, workshops, and boat or RV storage structures. If a client wants a garage with a finished loft, bonus room, or apartment above, Liamar reviews local rules early and designs the structure, insulation, HVAC, plumbing, and egress to meet code requirements — making them a capable detached ADU builder and garage conversion contractor for clients with those goals.
Garage Amenities and Finish Options
Liamar offers an extensive list of optional features and amenities that can be incorporated into any garage or outbuilding project, including:
- Smart garage door openers and automated lighting controls
- Mini split AC and heat systems
- Bathrooms, showers, and pet washing stations
- Hot and cold water, sinks, and laundry areas
- Sauna or steam rooms and hot tub areas
- Custom cabinetry and built-in storage
- EV charging stations and 240-volt circuits
- Radiant slab or heat pump heating
- Integrated sound systems and Wi-Fi extenders
- Climate-controlled wine storage
- Fire suppression systems and built-in safes
- Roof-top deck access
For exterior finishes, Liamar commonly specifies fiber-cement siding such as Hardie, PVC trim products like Azek or Versatex, and roofing profiles matched to the existing home. Windows, doors, and color selections can be coordinated so the new structure looks consistent with the property.
On pricing, Liamar provides line-item estimates that are transparent from the start. If scope changes are requested during a project, those items are priced separately and require client approval before proceeding. Construction timelines for single-story structures are typically measured in weeks, with weekly updates provided throughout the build.
For clients working with lenders, Liamar can provide detailed scopes and specification sheets to support underwriting. Projects can also be phased — for example, completing the shell first with interior finishes to follow — depending on the client's timeline and budget.
