Attached Garage Addition
Adding an attached garage to your existing New Brunswick home is a major structural project that requires seamless integration between the new addition and your home's existing foundation, framing, roofline, and exterior envelope — done right, it eliminates the daily battle with snow clearing, ice scraping, and sub-zero vehicle starts that define Maritime winters from November through April. Structural integration is the critical challenge: the new garage foundation must account for differential settlement against the existing home, roofline transitions must prevent ice dam formation at valleys and intersections, and the shared wall between garage and living space requires fire-rated assemblies per NB Building Code. Breezeway connections offer a practical middle ground for NB homes where direct attachment creates roofline or foundation complications, providing sheltered vehicle-to-home access without compromising the existing structure. Every attached garage project in Fredericton, Moncton, Saint John, and surrounding NB communities begins with a thorough assessment of your home's existing structure, lot setbacks, and municipal zoning requirements.
