Dormer Addition

What This Service Involves

Dormers unlock usable space in sloped-ceiling upstairs rooms and attics. We frame shed or gable dormers that add standing height, floor area, and natural light. The roof intersection is carefully flashed to keep Northwest rain out at this vulnerable point. A dormer can turn a cramped attic into a genuine bedroom or bath.
