Add a Garage That Belongs to Your Home
Rosewood designs and builds garage additions for Northern Virginia homeowners. Covered parking, storage, and optional bonus space above — designed to integrate with your home's existing architecture.
Homeowners who want livable square footage in addition to covered parking often combine a garage addition with a room addition above. Homeowners looking to add a lighter structure sometimes consider a sunroom addition as an alternative to a garage.

A garage addition solves more than a parking problem. It adds covered storage, a workspace, a place to keep gear out of the house, and — when built with a bonus room above — additional livable square footage that costs less per foot than a full home addition.

More Than a Place to Park
Rosewood designs garage additions that connect to your home structurally and visually. Siding, roofline, windows, and trim are matched to the existing house so the addition looks like it was part of the original design.
We manage design, zoning review, permitting, and construction under one contract.

The garage is designed to look like it belongs to the house, not like it was added later. Exterior materials, roofline pitch, and window placement are all matched to your home's existing character.
