My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

What size are the windows in the dormers on 2nd floor?

14 years ago
I'm building a similar home style with dormer windows and would like to make sure I get the right proportion dormer and window to the windows on the first floor.

    3'4" x 5'6" If you are using stone like this house that carries up beside the window then the sides need to be thicker than if it is a wood dormer. I also made sure I had room for the stone lintel below the break of the roof. If you are doing a wood dormer then everything changes.
