What Are Dormers?<\/h2>\n

Before we begin talking about how a dormer might benefit you and your home, you need to know the answer to the question, “What is a dormer?” So let’s kick things off there.<\/p>\n

A dormer is essentially a roofed structure with a window in it that jots out from inside of a home through the roof. Dormers are often used to add a little bit more space to a room. They can also be used to make the ceilings in a room a little higher than they would be otherwise.<\/p>\n
