An Attached Garage Designed Around Your Home & Needs
An attached garage can add everyday convenience while expanding your home's usable footprint.
Depending on your needs, your garage might provide:
Convenient everyday vehicle parking
Direct access from garage to home
Lawn and garden equipment storage
Recreational vehicle or motorcycle storage
Dedicated workshop or hobby space
Seasonal and household item storage
Upper-level storage or usable space
Mudroom or transitional entry space
Custom Attached Garages Versus Prefab Additions
Prefab or packaged garage systems may work when your needs fit a predetermined design. An attached garage, however, must also integrate properly with your existing home.
A custom attached garage gives you greater flexibility when making decisions about:
Garage size and dimensions
Number and size of bays
Connection to the home
Door and window placement
Roof style and pitch
Exterior materials and style
Interior access points
Storage and workspace needs
Electrical and lighting needs
Finished space and future use
Instead of trying to fit a standard package to your home, we design the garage around your home’s architecture and your specific storage needs.

An Attached Garage That Seamlessly Blends With Your Home
A well-designed attached garage shouldn't look like it was added after a home was originally built.
As custom builders, we incorporate architectural characteristics from your existing home, including rooflines, siding, trim, windows, doors, proportions, and other exterior details.
We also consider how the new garage connects to the house itself so the transition works both visually and functionally.
​
The goal is to create additional space that feels like it was always there.

What Should You Consider When Planning an Attached Garage?
Your Existing Home & Property
One of the first things we evaluate is how the new garage will connect to your existing home and fit within your property.
Your home's layout, roofline, foundation, driveway, grade, setbacks, utilities, drainage, and size can all influence the design.
Because an attached garage directly affects your existing structure, it's especially important to consider these details from the start.
How You'll Use It
Next, we look beyond simply asking how many vehicles you want to park inside.
What else do you need the garage to do?
You may start by envisioning a two-car garage, for example. But once you consider lawn equipment, tools, bicycles, motorcycles, seasonal items, storage, or workspace, additional square footage may make more sense in the long term.
We can also discuss whether you want direct access into the home, a mudroom-style entry, additional storage, or usable space above the garage.
By understanding how you plan to use the addition today—and how your needs may change over time—we can help you create a garage that provides lasting functionality.
Custom Attached Garage FAQs
In most New Hampshire communities, yes. An attached garage addition generally requires building approval and may also be subject to zoning, setback, structural, electrical, fire-safety, and other local requirements. Requirements vary by municipality.
Do I need a permit to build an attached garage in New Hampshire?
In many cases, yes. Whether you can add an attached garage depends on your home's existing layout, available space, property setbacks, grade, driveway access, structural considerations, and local regulations.
DeSalvo Builders can evaluate your property and discuss the type of garage addition that may work best.
Can an attached garage be added to an existing home?
Yes. We can design the garage to complement your home's existing architecture by coordinating siding, roofing, trim, windows, doors, rooflines, and other exterior details.
Can you match an attached garage to my existing house?
Yes. Because we specialize in custom construction, we can plan your garage's interior around vehicle parking, storage, equipment, tools, hobbies, workspace requirements, and more.
Can an attached garage include storage or workspace?
Depending on your home, property, design, and local requirements, you may design an attached garage with upper-level storage or additional usable space.
During the planning stage, we’ll discuss the structural design, access, insulation, utilities, fire separation, and intended use of the upper level.
Can you build living or storage space above an attached garage?
Yes, assuming it fits within the overall design and available space. A mudroom (or transitional entry) can provide a convenient connection between the garage and the living area while adding storage for shoes, coats, outdoor gear, and everyday household items.
Can you add a mudroom between my house and garage?
No. DeSalvo Builders specializes in custom-built garages and additions, not standard prefab garage packages.
Do you build prefab attached garages?
Pricing varies significantly based on the garage size, number of bays, site conditions, foundation requirements, structural modifications to the existing home, roofing, exterior materials, windows and doors, electrical work, storage areas, interior finishes, and other project details.
