How to Build a Porch
Porch construction may seem simple in theory. However, to build exceptional porches, our experts take a multi-faceted approach. Our porch installation is a meticulous process, complete with careful planning, masterful designing, and prompt and efficient construction to ensure you receive superior results.
Porch Design & Permitting
Porch construction begins with design and permitting. During this process, we work with you to understand your vision, taking account of your preferences and goals while considering sizing requirements, materials, and style specifications. We then verify local building codes and obtain the permitting and approvals to begin your project, ensuring full compliance for a hassle-free experience.
Porch Construction Process
The construction begins once the design is finalized and permitting requirements are satisfied. Porch construction requires several integral steps to achieve quality results, including:
- Excavation to lay a solid foundation
- Porch framing
- Decking and flooring
- Roof and support installation
- Railings and balustrades installation
Applying the Finishing Details to Complete Your Vision
Finally, once the porch construction is complete, we pull everything together with the finishing touches. This portion of the project is entirely customizable. We can complete your porch with stylish light fixtures, paint or stain, trim work, and other decorative elements based on your unique goals. Once complete, we perform a final inspection and walk-through.
Exploring Porches & Decks
Although the terms of porches and decks are often used interchangeably, these fixtures are different. Decks are open outdoor fixtures that do not feature a roof. In contrast, a porch is directly attached to the front or back of a home and offers shelter with a roof and supporting columns.
Different Types of Porches
A porch can be installed in the front or back of your home, depending on your unique needs. Furthermore, you have options when it comes to the style of your porch, including:
- Open-concept front or back porch
- Screened in porch
- Wrap-around porch
- Sunroom or solarium
All-Season Porch Design
With Chicago’s cold winters, it’s important to consider how many seasons you want to be able to use your porch. If your desire is to create a year-round fixture that brings coziness and warmth to your home without obstructing your access to the outdoors, you have options to choose from. We offer choices such as enclosed porches, specialty windows, or even fireplace installations.
