What Our Clients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an open porch?
An open porch is a covered outdoor space attached to your home with a porch roof overhead and open sides. Unlike a screened porch or enclosed porch, the sides stay open to the breeze. It gives you shade and protection from rain while keeping you connected to the yard and outdoor space around you.
How is an open porch different from a screened or enclosed porch?
A covered porch with open sides lets you enjoy fresh air and natural ventilation without any barrier. A screened porch adds mesh screen panels as a barrier against bugs and flying insects like mosquitoes. An enclosed porch goes further with glass door panels or a sliding door, giving you a room that works even in winter. We can build any of these, and many homeowners start with an open porch and later add a screen package or full enclosure.
How much does a custom open porch cost?
Pricing depends on size, materials, roofline, ceiling detail, and finishes. A simple build comes in lower, while projects with stone columns, vaulted ceilings, stainless steel railings, custom lighting, and outdoor kitchens carry a higher cost. During your free consultation, we will walk through your goals and provide a clear estimate that reflects the level of finish you want.
Do I need a building permit for an open porch?
Yes, most porch construction projects in metro Atlanta require a permit. We handle the entire permitting process for you, including setback reviews, site plans, and inspections, so you can focus on the fun parts of your project.
What materials can I choose for my open porch?
We work in every material a high-end porch build calls for. Options include cedar, mahogany, ipe, pressure-treated framing, composite decking, plywood sheathing, natural stone, brick, stainless steel hardware, tongue-and-groove porch ceiling boards, custom post designs, and more. We will recommend the best combination for your design and budget.
Will an open porch add value to my home?
Yes. A thoughtfully designed front porch or back porch is one of the best benefits you can add to a home improvement project. It expands usable square footage, raises curb appeal, and gives buyers an immediate emotional connection to the property. For homeowners planning to stay long term, the daily enjoyment is the bigger payoff.
