A porch not only provides access to your front door but protects the entrance and offers curb appeal. 

What function does a porch serve?

Most homes already have some kind of structure before the front door, serving as an extension of the entrance. This extension can be as expansive or small as you need and like. Some people enjoy experiencing the outdoors by sitting in their front yard and using their porch, some prefer it to just add architectual interest. 

 

Creating a covered porch can also help deter unwanted pests or burglers since there are two points of entry. If you prefer an open porch, we recommend adding railing for safety reasons and becuase it adds another element to the exterior details of the home. 

 

How we do it

Initial consultation

The initial consult includes discussing what you want your porch to look like and the primary purpose for it. We’ll also add on to your ideas with suggestions for materials and design.

Selection

You’ll need to select the type of materials you want and any other added features.

Design

We will send you an illustration of your final design and make any final tweaks before we finalize a path.

Estimate

We will send over an estimate – it is good for 30 days. At this point we can still make changes to the design. We will not be ordering materials or applying for permits (if needed) until this estimate is approved. After you approve the estimate, we will put you on our schedule and begin ordering materials.

Construction

Construction begins usually around the time the materials arrive and the permits are approved.
