Dormers
Dormers are a great way to add more livable space in your home. A dormer is a type of structure on a pitched roof that extends beyond the standard house design, often containing a window. From gabled to pyramidal dormers, our contractors will help you decide which type is right for your home, ensuring it not only enhances functionality on the inside but also adds beauty to the exterior. Whether you’re seeking additional headroom, natural light, or architectural charm, our expert guidance will transform your roofline into a practical and aesthetically pleasing feature of your home.
Extensions
From design to construction, our contractors specialize in extending the square footage of your home with various options. We install rear extensions, side returns to utilize available outdoor space, wrap-arounds, two-story extensions, over-structure extensions to build on top of an existing structure, “up and under” extensions for extra living space beneath the house, and more. Whether you’re looking to expand your living area, add a home office, or create additional bedrooms, our comprehensive services ensure seamless integration and stunning results that enhance both functionality and value.
Garage Extensions
Whether you need room for larger vehicles, additional parking spots, converting your garage into a living space, or simply want to boost your property’s value, we’ve got you covered. Our contractors provide practical solutions that include various methods to expand the width and length of your garage, such as installing lean-to additions, garage bump-outs, top-of-garage extensions, carports, and car lifts.

FAQ: Common Questions About Dormers and Extensions
What are the primary benefits of adding dormers to a residential property?
Dormers add valuable living space, natural light, and ventilation to a home by expanding usable square footage in upper levels. They can significantly improve ceiling height, make rooms feel more open, and increase overall property value. Dormers also enhance curb appeal when designed to complement the home’s architecture.
What type of dormer is right for my home?
The right dormer depends on your home’s structure, roof style, budget, and intended use of the space. Common options include shed dormers for maximum space, gable dormers for a classic look, and hip dormers for a softer architectural profile. During consultation, we evaluate your home and recommend the best option for both function and aesthetics.
Can dormers be added to an existing roof?
Yes, dormers are commonly added to existing roofs. The process involves structural evaluation, roof modification, and proper reinforcement to ensure safety and durability. With proper planning and permits, dormers can be seamlessly integrated without compromising the integrity of the existing roof.
How to ensure extensions will integrate seamlessly with the existing structure?
Seamless integration starts with careful design and planning. We match rooflines, siding, windows, and architectural details to the existing home, while ensuring structural compatibility. Our goal is to make the extension look original to the home—not like an add-on—both inside and out.
Can existing garages be easily extended?
In many cases, yes. Garage extensions are often possible depending on the foundation, zoning regulations, and available space on the property. We assess the existing structure and local code requirements to determine feasibility and design an extension that meets both functional needs and Long Island building regulations.
