We constructed a beautiful new farmer’s porch, adding approximately 320 square feet of inviting outdoor space. The pressure-treated deck frame includes a single staircase leading to the ground, and the new porch roof was seamlessly tied into the existing structure, finished with architectural shingles for durability and a cohesive appearance.
The floor features Trex Select Pebble Gray composite decking, picture-framed along the perimeter and stairs for a clean, refined finish. RDI white vinyl railings complement the design, while all posts and exposed framing were wrapped in white PVC composite trim for a polished, low-maintenance look. The ceiling is finished with white vinyl beadboard, and the underside of the porch is enclosed with matching beadboard and PVC trim. An access panel was added to provide entry to the sprinkler blow-out system, and composite lattice was installed to complete the base.
To improve drainage and function, a new seamless rain gutter and downspout were installed. We also upgraded the entry with a ProVia Spectrum 291 Full View 36" x 80" storm door. Electrical enhancements include ten recessed LED lights, two exterior outlets, and switches for convenient control. A new Unilock Almond Grove paver walkway was installed from the driveway to the porch entrance, tying the entire front entry together with both elegance and functionality.
