Dormers & Extensions done right, the first time
When Long Island families outgrow their home but love their school district and neighborhood, dormers and extensions are usually the smartest move. ORA Construction designs and builds shed dormers, full second-story additions, rear extensions and side additions — fully integrated with your home's existing roofline, siding, and interior layout.
What's included
- Shed dormers and full second-story additions
- Rear and side extensions for kitchens and family rooms
- Foundation extensions with frost-rated footings
- Roof tie-ins that match existing pitch and shingle
- HVAC, electrical and plumbing extension to new spaces
Our process
1. Feasibility
We review setbacks, lot coverage, and existing structure to confirm what's permittable.
2. Design & Permit
Architectural and structural drawings, town submission and variances if needed.
3. Build
Foundation, framing, weather-tight envelope, mechanicals and finishes — sequenced to minimize disruption to the existing home.
Shed dormers and full second-story additions is one of the most common reasons Long Island homeowners call us — and the area where shortcuts cost the most over a decade.— ORA Construction project lead
