Is a dormer worth it on a Selden Cape?

For many Selden homeowners, yes — a Cape's half-story is wasted without a dormer. Adding one full-height bedroom upstairs is often the most cost-effective way to gain real space without moving.

How long does a dormer take in Selden?

Timeline depends on scope and the Brookhaven permit queue. A shed dormer is weeks of construction; a full second-story build-out is longer. Your estimate includes a realistic schedule.
