A dormer roof is a common way many home owners are extending their home’s space because it allows them to add an extra room. It is generally a sloping roof that is added to the top of a house. There are different types of dormer roofs that people build depending on their style or needs.
Some example of different dormer roofs are:
Gable fronted dormer
Hipped roof dormer: The roof slopes back
Shed dormer: A dormer window parallel to the eave line
Wall dormer
Eyebrow dormer
Link dormer: Joins one part of a roof to another or even houses a chimney
