Dormers

A dormer is a protruding structural element from the sloping roof of a building. In addition to making your house look more attractive, a dormer has multiple functional purposes. For example, it creates more usable space in the roof by adding a headroom and thereby increasing the usability of the space. It also provides for the addition of windows, making the room more cozy, pleasant, and environmentally friendly (as you can save electricity by relying on the incoming sunlight instead).

Father & Son Home Builders can add a dormer to your house or plan for its construction while designing your new roof. A dormer can enhance the appearance of your home or open up the possibility for a window in the attic or the room directly underneath the roof. We will gladly advise you on the best location for a dormer and take care of installing the window. (For more details about windows and our new energy-efficient windows, please visit our Windows page.) Being inexpensive, a dormer is a great investment for those tight on the budget. It adds more living space for less money, since the new room does not require cement foundation, exterior doors, or steps and thus represents great savings. In addition, a dormer also adds value to your house should you decide to sell it in the future. An extra bedroom or storage space is always an advantage in the real estate business.
