Planning Your Custom Porch Addition
Porches are a wonderful addition to any home, and with custom porches, you can shape the look, layout, and comfort to fit the way you live. A bit of planning now, from clarifying how you will use the space to selecting materials that hold up in your climate and choosing lighting and screening that extend daily use, helps the build stay smooth and the results last.
Factors to consider when adding a porch to your home include:
- Permits: Is a permit required before starting? This can vary based on where you live, so it’s important to check with your town before getting started. Our team can help handle any permit requirements to ensure a seamless and stress-free process.
- Purpose: Morning coffee, quiet reading, weekend gatherings. Purpose shapes layout, lighting, and seating.
- Size and structure: Front porches tend to be smaller than back or screened-in designs. We verify loads, connections, and footing depth so custom built porches are safe and solid.
- Materials: At Deck Plus, we offer both composite and wood materials. Composite decks use a calculated mixture of wood fibers and plastic. They’re almost indistinguishable from wood, are extremely durable, and require less maintenance. However, we also offer a range of wood options that offer a timeless look and natural durability.
- Budget: The cost of a porch can vary significantly depending on the size, design, location, and materials. On average, a porch installation project can be anywhere from $5,000 to $20,000. Contact Deck Plus for a free estimate on your custom porch addition.
