About this project…
The client wanted a front porch with room for seating and better flow and access for entering their home. They wanted a new front porch that would complement the existing style and design of the house but also be a focal point to the home.
The client also wanted a larger entertaining area at the back of their home. This area was always wet and they were looking for a solution that would address this.

What we did…
The front porch was extended across the entire front section of the home and out enough to accommodate 3 large rocking chairs. To improve flow, the ceiling height was raised, and for better access, the existing front steps and sidewalk were replaced with five-foot-wide stairs and sidewalk that lead directly to the front door. To complement the existing style, a gable-style roof with recessed lighting and a grey stained tongue and groove ceiling was added over the porch. To make the porch a focal point, colored siding on the gable, oversized white columns and a metal railing system were added. To further increase the curb appeal, the front retaining wall was replaced as well.
To address the backyard, we installed a large concrete patio with linear drainage and a new retaining wall and stairs leading to the yard.
