has anyone added on a garage to their house??
we are most likely not going to dormer our house now... but we are going to get a garage put on...
i see there are so many different ways, either.. detached, or attached.. breezeway...etc..
any advice or opinions would be great!

Re: has anyone added on a garage to their house??
Someone near me just added an attached garage. I believe it is on Tower lane in levittown.
If you are on glade lane.....towards tower lane you will be facing the house.
It is a dormered cape with an extended kitchen and a new garage with the carraige style door.
The house is grey. The door is white.
Very nice work.

My garage is attached and I have the bathroom window still, but my kitchen was first extended into the breezeway, and the back of the kitchen where it was extended in still a breezeway and I have a door to my garage on one wall and on the other wall the bathroom and back bedroom window.

ok i gotcha.. .i have seen these types in levittown also! i love the idea!
we were maybe thinking about extending the kitchen then the garage..but not sure how much this will cost.. i guess we have to get a couple quotes for different options!

The town determines how close to the curb you can go. You can always apply for a variance to go past the standard rules. Our house is too close to the back fence, but we went to the town and got a variance approved to allow it. Lots of people do that. I went to two variance hearings, and both times there were at least a dozen people who the town allowed to build past the allowed limits.
