how much $ for rear dormer, including new bathroom
I'm just doing research. We'd probably only need to do a rear dormer, as our cape already has 2 big bedrooms upstairs. We'd just want to add a third and a bathroom. Anyone have pics of this?

DH says he has heard $50000 for a Levitt cape for just the rear dormer.

Re: how much $ for rear dormer, including new bathroom
I posted in your other cape thread. I thought it would be $100k for a full so $50k is what I am assuming a rear or a front dormer would be.
Now do you do a front dormer or a rear dormer?
I think a rear dormer and two front gable dormers would be nice.
Like this house has in the front - Just the two outside ones though....
Also a Front Porch or a Portico to give the downstairs outside of the house some Detail

Re: how much $ for rear dormer, including new bathroom
We just bumped out our upstairs by 9" x 25" to extend our bedroom and add a walk-in closet. We added a master bath, had a full new 40 year roof, new Hardiboard siding over the whole house. We had our downstairs bathroom gutted and re-done and 4 new windows downstairs. The whole job cost us $100K not including the fixtures for the baths or paint. That did include the architect and permits. The variance was $1K extra and the surveys were $500.
We got another quote when we were interviewing contractors for $125K.

that's a beautiful house! I think we would probably do just a rear dormer or a rear dormer with 2 front gables like you mentioned. Like you mentioned, there is so much you CAN do with a cape. 
I'm just wishing it was already done at this point though. I'm so sick of thinking in $$$!

Re: how much $ for rear dormer, including new bathroom
Im thankful that our kitchen was extended into the breezeway before we bought the house. We already did so much work to the house as it is. Im not sure it will be worth it to put another $100k into it.....Its money that we will never see again.
When it comes time to dormer, we will probably just sell

That sounds kind of sketchy. How can a contractor give a price on job without even seeing it. My DH is a contractor, I told him about that and he just laughed.

that's a teaser price, like the ads for the $3,995 bathroom remodels.
Licensed contractors with insurance & a marketing budget to to run ads like that can't put food on the table for their kids on LI with those prices.
That is a fact.
