Dormer Addition

What this involves.

A dormer addition changes how an attic or upper room feels by adding standing height, daylight, and floor area where the roof used to close in. We plan the size and placement to fit the roofline and the room below, frame the dormer into the existing structure, and tie in the roofing and exterior so it sheds water and looks like it belongs. Inside, we insulate, finish the walls, and trim out the new window so the added space is comfortable and bright. A well-built dormer makes an attic conversion feel like a true second story instead of a tight, sloped corner.

• Planning dormer size and placement to fit the roofline and room below
• Framing the dormer and tying it into the existing roof structure
• Weatherproofing, roofing, and exterior finishes that match the house
• Insulating and air sealing the new walls and ceiling
• Installing and trimming the dormer window for daylight and ventilation
• Finishing interior drywall, walls, and ceiling in the new space
• Final cleanup and a walkthrough of the finished, weather-tight addition
