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.
I tend to agree with you. We have built with architects and without and I feel they are not necessary, sometimes doing odd things. It probably depends on the builder, but many can do a wonderful job without an architect or have an architect on staff.
