Dormer Window Styles

Ranch with Shed Dormer

When a sprawling one-story ranch receives a shed dormer window atop the entry, the addition not only adds height and light to the interior, but it also adds a needed visual break to the block of roofing material. A dormer window addition provides an excellent opportunity to introduce a new material to your home's exterior.

Here, cedar shake shingles add a fresh texture, while using the same paint creates visual cohesion with the rest of the house.
