This is an attached garage. Not a fancy home or fancy home addition.
Basically doors and windows. The siding can match the house. The windows, if chosen, can match the house.

Come on now.

An architect certainly can make/draw some pretty colored CAD renderings.

But really. A garage. With one, two, or three doors. Ain't no rocket science.

A half hour of builders/carpenter time for drawing/renderings or $3,000 plus/minus of pretty architect renderings.

The choice is the homeowners. If they have the funds and colored pretty CAD drawings would make them happier. Well . . . then hire an architect.
