Frame CompanyPrefitting an 8' gable dormerIf a timberframe is to have dormers, we feel that they should be framed with timber, not "left for the carpenters" to fill in . The dormers may cost a little more initially, but they can be sheathed in quickly and easily, without the head scratching involved in trying to form a valley where there is nothing to work with. We make our valleys with a "backing cut", the "V"ed out section that forms the intersection of the main roof and the dormer roof. This makes it very straightforward for the carpenters to sheath, insulate, and shingle the dormer.
