Dormers are an excellent design element for homes with a second floor because they are both visually appealing and practically functional. A dormer is essentially a window that protrudes out from the roof of a house in order to use the space created to expand the room inside. Dormers are a very common feature in many homes around Chicago and it’s surrounding suburbs. However, what many homeowners fail to realize is that they can be added to an already existing home. Many homeowners choose to add dormers to their homes for a variety of reasons. For example, a dormer can be used to substantially expand a 2nd floor room in a home. In fact, dormers are one of the most common techniques used to expand 2nd floor rooms. They allow rooms to have a better view of the outside and they are very visually appealing form the exterior if done correctly.
