Eyebrow Dormers

A Building “Eyebrow” Refers To A Section Of A Roof That Protrudes With A Window Or Ornamental Accent Covered In A Subtly-Curved Or Wavy Roof Line. They Are A Type Of Dormer — A Structural Component That Juts Out From The Slope Of A Roof To Form An Interior Area Of The Attic That Can Be Looked Out From.

Dormers And Eyebrows In Particular Add An Enormous Amount Of Visual Interest To The Face Of A Building. They Interrupt The Flow Of The Roof In A Way That Creates Unique And Eye-Catching Architectural Beauty.

The Challenge Of Eyebrows

Eyebrows Are Notoriously Difficult To Install Because Of The Rounded Nature Of The Covering Roof Line. Achieving An Organic-Looking Line Requires A Great Deal Of Expertise And No Small Amount Of Artisanship.

On Top Of The Visual Aspect, Eyebrows Can Also Easily Become A Point Of Structural Vulnerability Within An Attic Space. Great Care Must Be Taken To Incorporate The Structure Of The Eyebrow Within The Building Frame So That The Wall Sheathing Adequately Seals Out Escaping Air.

Otherwise, Hot Air Can Leak Through The Gap In Sheathing, Bringing Cold Air Into The House And Create A Convection Current. This Phenomenon Invites Condensation And, Subsequently, Mold, Mildew Or Rot. Furthermore, This Escaping Air Can Be A Source Of Energy Inefficiency That Drives Up Air Conditioning Costs In All Seasons.

    We bought an antebellum house and the roof was leaking when we took occupancy. There was a porch with an internal gutter system that other roofers were intimidated by. We hired Kevin to do an entire roof replacement. Kevin knows what he … More is doing, was very professional, and did a great job. I cannot recommend him enough, and I would say my interaction with him has probably been my most pleasant experience with a contractor.

    Kevin the owner, took before pictures of our roof damage in order to show us the problem as well as taking after pictures to show us that he had fixed it. He worked with our insurance company and saved us a lot of money. Very professional, … More southern hospitality.
