Transform Your Garage Into a Functional Living Space
If your family has outgrown your home, you might be thinking about buying a new one or building onto your existing structure. However, garage additions and conversions can be a smart option to expand your living space.
A garage conversion or addition in New Hampshire or Massachusetts is a great way to increase your home’s value while using your existing space. It can also be much more cost-effective than buying a larger home. Blackdog Design/Build has over 35 years of experience helping customers throughout New Hampshire and Massachusetts design, build, and remodel garage additions and conversions.
Why Consider a Garage Addition or Conversion?
A garage addition or conversion offers several benefits. Converting your garage into a living space is more cost-effective than building onto your home, and it uses existing space. Both garage additions and conversions increase your home’s square footage and value and can make your home more attractive to prospective buyers if you later decide to place it on the market.

Zoning & Structural Considerations

This includes when you add electrical or plumbing work to a garage conversion in New Hampshire or build a new garage addition in Massachusetts.
The Blackdog Design Process
Our design process begins by meeting with you to learn about your project and goals. We’ll then design a partner plan that incorporates your project’s scope and budget. Once we reach an agreement and sign off on it, we’ll work with you to create your design using measurements and photos.
At this stage, we’ll sign off on a final agreement that includes the payment schedule, start date, and project timeline. We’ll meet with you again before starting construction to discuss the logistics and complete a final plan review. Our last step is to provide a three-year warranty to give you peace of mind.
