Brighten Up Your Home: Expanding Space with Dormer Additions

Adding a dormer to your second or third floor is a simple way to increase headspace, bring in natural light, and make your home feel more open-without a major renovation.

Why Add a Dormer?

Dormers are a simple yet impactful addition that can dramatically change a room’s feel. By extending the roofline, dormers create more vertical space, letting in natural light and improving
ventilation. This not only makes the space feel larger but also adds architectural interest to your home’s exterior.

Cost-Effective Expansion

Compared to full-scale additions, dormers offer a budget-friendly way to add usable space. They allow you to reimagine attics, upper-level bedrooms, or even create a cozy reading nook or office. The return on investment is significant, as dormers can boost both your home’s functionality and its resale value.

Enhancing Pittsburgh’s Historic Homes

In Pittsburgh’s older homes, dormers can be a game-changer. Many of these homes have steep rooflines and underutilized attic spaces. Adding dormers not only brightens these areas but also
preserves the home’s historic integrity. Our team ensures that new dormers blend seamlessly with existing architecture, enhancing both interior comfort and curb appeal.

Conclusion:

Dormer additions are a simple yet powerful way to expand your living space, bring in natural light, and elevate the comfort of your Pittsburgh home. If you’re ready to make a big impact with a small addition, Marvista Design + Build is here to help.
