Home additions are a great way to up size your home without the pain and hassle of searching for a new home and moving your family. If you love your home and don't want to leave it, but you just need more space, an addition could be the perfect way to create more living space without upending your family.
A Dormer is an existing or a modification to a roof structure adding full height ceilings creating additional living space to areas that would have otherwise been a crawlspace or eves. Dormers can be partial, or span the entire second floor. In the case of a Full Raised Ridge Dormer, the existing house ridge is removed and a new one is installed at a higher elevation creating a more pleasing and useful roof pitch.
Mother / daughter houses differ from a multi-family residence in that multi-family homes have separate entrances for each of the living areas, whereas a mother / daughter is arranged as two separate living areas but is connected as one overall dwelling unit. Sometimes the house you've lived in forever (or maybe recently purchased) needs a lot of work.

Wonderful experience with everything! We were very scared going in with such a large project. Nick and Howie both made everything so much easier than we feared! The process was smooth, manageable, and with no surprises. My wife and I did decide to add some things on our own, but those were the only cost changes. I can't say enough good thing about Great Additions! And our house is GORGEOUS now! Nick design ideas really impressed us!

I contacted Great Additions Construction regarding pricing on a dormer on our home. The salesman that I dealt with name was Nick and he gave me an approximate estimate over the phone. Nick and I then scheduled for him to come by a week later so he can walk my wife and I through everything in person. In the meantime I also received pricing from another company which was significantly lower than Nicks price. I took a picture of the detailed quote, not including the price, and sent it on a text message to Nick per his request. He continued to bad talk the company I received the price from as well

It was a pleasure working with Great Additions for our full dormer project. Communication and responsiveness was great from the start and throughout. I especially loved the app they use that shows their calendar for the project, everything was always right on schedule. They worked everyday especially during demo and framing, they worked through the weekend. We met with Howie for the estimate and design phase, and then Mike was our project manager. He always made us feel comfortable and was very easy to get in touch with and discuss any questions or concerns we had. Our house came out beautiful

We had a wonderful experience working with Great Additions. Mike, Howie and Allison were all excellent to work with and extremely professional. They were all very patient, helpful and responsive. They would get back to us all hours of the day with any questions we had. Mike was our project manager and i cant begin to explain how incredible and helpful he was. He made a major renovation project so much smoother than i ever imagined. We were living in the basement while we were getting the work completed, and all of the workers were very respectful, understanding and courteous of our privacy. They

A big thank you to Great Additions Construction. Howie, Allison, Michael, Vinnie, etc. are so personable and went above and beyond to make the experience of dormering and redoing our first floor (including a new kitchen, three new baths, floors, paint, molding, windows, siding, etc.) in our house as smooth as possible. We bought our house, and after doing tons of research and meeting with many construction companies, we chose Great Additions to complete the work. When we went to Great Addition’s showroom, it was so easy to see what kind of job would be done. During our selection meeting, Allison

My parents referred me to Howie and his team. They are the best Long Island dormer contractor in my opinion. From the design process to the actual construction, their team of project managers made sure the entire process was smooth, our valuables were always protected and secured during the renovation process. They made adjustments as my wife and I made some changes throughout the project but they did not let that slow them down. I highly recommend Howie and their team to anyone looking for a reputable and trustworthy Dormer & Extension Contractor.
