Shed Dormer Addition Design in Farmington Hills, MI
A shed dormer is one of the best ways to expand usable space on a Cape Cod or Bungalow without dramatically altering the roofline. We design dormers that create headroom, bathroom space, and natural light; all while preserving the home's original character.

Why It Matters for Small Homes
A correctly designed dormer can turn a cramped attic into a usable second floor. A poorly designed dormer can make the house look top-heavy or distorted.
Common Mistakes
Oversized dormers
Incorrect slope transitions
Cheap-looking materials
Windows that don’t align with the lower floors
Flat, boxy proportions
