Adding a Dormer or Bay Window to Your Home is a Smart Investment

Do your windowed areas appear flat and unappealing? Would you like extra room for plants to get some sun, or a reading area flooded with natural sunlight? Maybe you just think a bay window or dormer would look wonderful in a particular area of your home.

A dormer comes from the French, dormir?to sleep, because originally this is precisely what it was used for when first introduced circa 1600?s by Francois Mansart. Of course today it is more often used as a style enhancement to the home for some of the reasons mentioned above.

There are all kinds of reasons you may want to consider installing a dormer or bay window. We will go over some of the different popular types of dormers, the benefits, and why you need to hire a professional for the work.

Different types of dormers or bay windows
The typical type of dormer is a polygon with windows facing five different directions, jutting from any point of a home. Other types of dormers are described as eyebrow, hipped, recessed or insert, pedimented, shed, pyramidal, shed, composite, or wall. These just describe the different angles and from where on the structure the dormer extends. In reality there is no limit to where the dormer is placed or the shape it takes other than structural concerns unique for each home, and a professional home improvement expert can let you know where on your home a dormer may be added.

So why should I add a dormer?
As mentioned the uses are nearly endless. Letting more light in, and opening up the interior of the home is the most common reason the typical polygon-type dormer would be added. Most of the different types of dormers increase the amount of light in the home, and all of them increase the amount of space and make any part of the home feel more open. It?s a great way to break up a bland squared-off room. While improving the interior, most find that all types of dormers make the exterior of a home look more attractive as well. It adds a touch of style and can make a home look unique, especially desirable in areas which use similar floor plans, like planned communities. Finally, a dormer or a bay window can increase a home?s value significantly, meaning most homeowners get a return on their investment when a dormer or bay window is added.

Who should I hire for my dormer or bay window?
Hiring the right contractor to add your dormer or bay window is absolutely essential. The home improvement company should be fully licensed with all of their permits current. They should also be experienced. While a dormer or bay window usually is not as complex as an extension, it is altering the structure, and thus hiring a professional is absolutely essential.
