Types of Porches We Build
Adding a porch creates new ways to enjoy your home, whether it’s morning coffee, family dinners, or a quiet spot to unwind. We offer several styles of porches to fit how you want to use the space and what works best for your home.
- Front Porches: A front porch creates a welcoming entrance and adds charm and functionality to your home. This type of porch is perfect for relaxing after work or greeting guests.
- Screened-In Porches: Enjoy fresh air without dealing with mosquitoes or rain by building a screened-in porch. These spaces are great for outdoor dining and quiet evenings without the hassle of bugs.
- Wraparound Porches: Perfect for larger homes or rural settings, a wraparound porch gives you space to relax and take in views from multiple sides of the house. These porches are popular for family gatherings and outdoor entertaining.
- Covered Porches: A covered porch lets you sit outside in any weather, offering shade in the summer and protection from rain. This option gives you a space to enjoy the outdoors without worrying about the elements.
Our Porch Building Process
Planning to build a porch can feel overwhelming, but our step-by-step process makes it simple and organized. From design to construction, we keep you informed and involved so you know exactly what to expect.
- Step 1: Free Consultation and Design Planning: We start by meeting with you at your home to discuss porch designs that match your space, budget, and goals. During this visit, we listen to what you want and gather details to create a plan that works for you.
- Step 2: Material Selection and Cost Estimate: After we understand your vision, we help you choose materials that fit your style and meet your needs for durability and maintenance. Once materials are selected, we provide a clear estimate that explains the full cost of building your porch so there are no surprises.
- Step 3: Construction and Quality Assurance: Our team handles every part of the build, never subcontractors, ensuring high-quality work from start to finish. We stay in communication during construction, and when the porch is complete, we do a final walkthrough to make sure you are fully satisfied.
How Much Does It Cost to Build a Porch?
The cost of building a porch depends on several factors, but we make sure you understand what goes into pricing before the work starts. Every porch is different, and we take the time to explain the options that fit your budget and vision.
- Size and Design Complexity: Larger porches or those with custom designs, like wraparound or screened-in porches, require more materials and labor. Unique features such as special railings or steps also affect pricing.
- Materials: Whether you choose wood, composite, or a combination, materials impact cost and long-term maintenance. We guide you through these choices to find what fits your needs and budget.
- Labor and Construction Details: The level of detail, site preparation, and structural requirements influence overall cost. Porches that require additional framing or foundation work will be priced accordingly.
- Optional Features: Adding features like custom railings, privacy screens, lighting, or ceiling fans increases function but can also raise the cost. We help you decide which options are worth including.
