Porch Construction

Custom Porch Construction

Porches define Chicago homes—from the classic two-flats with front stoops where neighbors gather to the screened-in back porches that let you enjoy summer evenings without mosquitoes. A well-built porch adds genuine living space, boosts curb appeal, and typically returns 75% of its cost in home value. Whether you want a welcoming front entry, an open-air entertaining area, or a bug-free outdoor room, the construction approach varies dramatically.

We build porches with foundations engineered for Chicago's frost depth requirements, framing that integrates cleanly with your existing roofline, and materials matched to your maintenance tolerance. For screened porches, that means choosing between composite, cedar, or pressure-treated frames—plus screen materials ranging from standard fiberglass to pet-resistant vinyl-coated polyester. For covered porches, it means roofing that sheds water properly and ceilings that look finished, not afterthought.

Your completed porch connects to your home's architecture rather than looking bolted on. We handle everything from permit drawings through final trim, creating outdoor space that extends your seasons and becomes a natural part of how you live—whether that's morning coffee, evening drinks, or weekend gatherings with friends and family.
