Dormer Contractor in Plainview, NY

Plainview grew almost entirely during the postwar building boom, so its housing stock is dominated by Cape Cods and ranches built in the 1950s and 1960s on lots that typically run 0.15 to 0.25 acres. Those Capes were framed with unfinished half-stories, which makes Plainview one of the strongest dormer markets in Nassau County. A shed dormer converts that half-story into two or three bedrooms and a bathroom without changing your footprint or giving up yard.

Because Plainview lots are compact, homeowners who need more than a dormer can deliver often turn to a rear extension or a full second-story addition instead. We build all of it here: shed and gable dormers on the Capes, pop-tops on the ranches, and rear or side extensions where the lot allows. Families in the Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District tend to stay put and grow their homes rather than move, which is exactly the work we specialize in.

The projects we see most in Plainview are shed dormers that add two or three bedrooms and a bathroom to a 1950s Cape, primary suites carved out of a newly dormered second floor, and kitchen or family room extensions off the back of a ranch. Because Plainview sits right off the Long Island Expressway and the Northern State Parkway, our crews reach your street quickly, which keeps daily supervision tight and the schedule moving. When you already know the neighborhood is full of homes that have added second floors, the question is not whether your Cape can be dormered, but how you want to lay out the new space.
