Talk to the People Who Will Build Your Porch

A porch in this climate lives or dies on two details: whether it is shaded and screened enough to sit on in August, and whether the roof and footings were built to last through the storms.

We build for both, tie the roof into the house properly rather than hanging it off the fascia, and give you a fixed written price for the finished structure.

    Porch Questions Homeowners Ask

    Before You Call Anyone, Read This

    Covered gives you shade and rain cover at the lowest cost. Screened adds the insects, which in Alabama is what makes the space usable in the evening. Enclosed gives you a room you can use year round but costs the most and changes how the space is treated. We will talk through all three on the visit.

    Often, if the footings and the framing are sound. That is the first thing we check, because building on a structure that is failing underneath is money thrown away.

    Yes, and to proper depth. A porch on inadequate footings moves, and then the roof it carries moves with it. This is the part nobody sees and the part that decides how long it lasts.

    It has to. A poorly tied and flashed connection is the most common source of leaks on porch additions, and it usually shows up inside the house rather than on the porch.

    Generally yes for a structure of this kind, and there may be setback rules and, in some neighborhoods, an exterior approval step. We check before quoting.

    Weeks rather than months for most, longer if it is enclosed or the existing structure needs rebuilding first.

    It matters more than most people expect. A west facing porch with no overhang is unusable on a summer afternoon. We take orientation into account rather than just placing it where the door already is.

    Fixed and in writing after we have looked at the site, the existing structure and the roof. The visit is free.

    What Porch Work Covers

    Covered, screened or fully enclosed. These are the pieces we price.

    Covered Porches

    A roofed porch tied into the existing structure, with a ceiling and lighting rather than exposed framing.

    Screened Porches

    Screen systems that keep Alabama insects out and can be re-screened later without dismantling the frame.

    Patio Enclosures

    Glazing an existing patio or porch so the space works in winter as well as summer.

    Footings and Framing

    Piers to the depth the county requires, and framing sized for the span rather than for the quote.

    Ceilings, Fans and Power

    Finished ceilings, fans that make a porch usable in summer, outdoor rated outlets and switching.

    Drainage

    Roof water taken away from the new footings and the house, which is what decides whether it lasts.

    Covered

    Shade Is What Makes It Usable

    An uncovered deck in Birmingham is unusable for most of the afternoon for half the year. A roof changes it from somewhere you look at into somewhere you sit.

    We plan the depth and the pitch around where the sun actually is at four in the afternoon, not just around what fits the elevation.

    Screened

    Outside Without the Insects

    Screening is what extends the season at both ends. We use systems that can be re-screened panel by panel later, because screen is the part that eventually needs attention and you should not have to rebuild a wall to replace it.

    Door placement gets planned so it does not swing into the furniture.

    Enclosed

    A Room You Can Use in January

    Glazing a porch turns three seasons into four. Whether it needs conditioned air depends on how you plan to use it, and that changes what the walls and roof have to do.

    We will tell you honestly which option suits how you actually live rather than selling the largest one.

    Home Value

    Outdoor Living Sells Houses Here

    In this climate a usable covered outdoor room is close to expected at a certain price point. Buyers notice its absence more than they notice a slightly bigger bedroom.

    Built on proper footings with a permitted roof, it counts as a structure rather than as something a surveyor queries.
