Tell us about your project — the porch type, size, and how you’ll use it — and we’ll put a written estimate together.
Built to Last
A porch is only as good as the crew that builds it. Once your design and materials are set, installation brings it all together — and cut corners show up years later as sagging floors, leaning columns, or water damage. We build it right the first time.
As your local porch builder, we install the whole structure — foundation and footings, framing, columns, roofing, flooring, and railings — to current building codes, using quality materials suited to Colorado’s sun, snow, and freeze-thaw seasons. We build to local code and can advise on any permits your project requires.
What We Install
Porch installation is more than a floor and a roof. We build each structural element to code so your porch is safe, level, and durable for decades.
Every solid porch starts underground. We pour slabs or set piers and footings below the frost line so your porch stays level and stable through Colorado’s freeze-thaw cycles.
We frame the porch — joists, beams, and ledger connections — to current building codes, creating a strong, square base built to carry the load for the long haul.
We install load-bearing columns and posts that support the roof and define the look — anchored, plumb, and finished for safety and lasting curb appeal.
For covered porches, we tie the new roof into your home’s existing roofline and install decking and shingles or metal so it sheds water and looks built-in, not bolted-on.
We install your chosen porch surface — wood, composite, concrete, or stone — with proper slope and secure fastening for a smooth, safe, long-lasting floor.
We install railings, balusters, steps, and trim to code, then finish and seal the porch so it’s safe, polished, and ready to enjoy the day we hand it over.

Which Fits Your Home
Both add outdoor living space, but they serve different purposes:
Choose a porch if…
You want a covered, code-connected extension of your entryway — ideal for shade, curb appeal, and a defined front-of-house living space.
Choose a deck if…
You want a larger open-air space for entertaining, grilling, or backyard living, usually attached to the rear or side of the home.
Many Thornton homeowners build both — a porch out front for curb appeal and a deck out back for everyday living. Not sure which makes sense for your property? Still spending endless hours searching for “porch installer near me”? Your search ends with All Pro Thornton Deck Builders.
Materials
The materials you choose affect how your porch looks, how long it lasts, and how much upkeep it needs. We help you pick the right fit for your budget, style, and Thornton’s sun, snow, and freeze-thaw seasons.

Porch Types
Whatever style you’ve chosen, we install it to last. Here’s a quick look at the porches we build most.
| Porch Type | What It Is | Good For |
|---|---|---|
| Open Porch | A classic, airy entry with fresh air and light | Curb appeal at a lower cost |
| Covered Porch | A roofed porch tied into your home’s roofline | Shade, weather protection & year-round use |
| Screened-In Porch | A screened, bug-free three-season space | Comfortable outdoor living most of the year |
| Wrap-Around Porch | A porch that extends along the front and sides | Farmhouse & Victorian homes; maximum space |
| Portico / Entry Porch | A compact roofed structure over the entry | Framing and sheltering the front door |
An open porch keeps things simple: a raised, roofless entry with just a railing and steps. It’s an affordable way to boost curb appeal and create a welcoming front entrance without added structural cost.
A covered porch ties a new roofline into your existing home for year-round shade and weather protection. It’s a popular choice for homeowners who want extra outdoor living space they can actually use in any season.
A screened-in porch adds mesh paneling to keep bugs and debris out while letting in fresh air. It’s ideal for homeowners who want a comfortable, bug-free space to relax through spring, summer, and fall.
A wrap-around porch extends along two or more sides of the home, adding generous outdoor space and classic curb appeal. It’s a natural fit for farmhouse and Victorian-style homes with room to spare.
A portico is a compact, roofed structure built directly over the front door. It’s a low-cost way to frame your entryway, shelter guests from the weather, and add architectural character to your home’s exterior.

Good to Know
A full porch installation covers the foundation and footings, framing, columns and posts, roofing (for covered porches), flooring, and railings and steps — all built to current building codes. We handle every structural element so the finished porch is safe, level, and durable.
A simple open porch or portico may take one to two weeks, while a larger covered, screened-in, or wrap-around porch can take several weeks depending on design and materials. Weather and material availability can affect the schedule — we provide an accurate timeline up front.
It depends on the size and type of porch, whether it’s open or covered, the foundation required, and your materials for flooring, columns, roofing, and railings. We provide a clear, written quote after we assess your project — no dollar guessing up front.
We install open porches, covered porches, screened-in porches, wrap-around porches, and porticos or entry porches — in wood, composite, concrete, and stone. Whatever style you’ve chosen, we build it to last in Colorado’s climate.
Sometimes — it depends on the condition, size, and code compliance of the existing foundation. We inspect it first and tell you honestly whether we can build on it or whether new footings will give you a safer, longer-lasting porch.
Always. We build every porch — footings, framing, connections, columns, and railings — to current local building codes. A porch that looks finished but isn’t structurally sound isn’t safe, so we don’t cut corners on the parts you can’t see.
Both. If you already have a design, we’ll install it. If you’re still planning, our porch design service helps you choose the style, layout, and materials — then our crew installs the whole project from concept to completion.
Usually, yes — installing a porch involves structural and often roofing work that typically requires permits and inspections. As your licensed local contractor, we build to local code and can advise on the permits your project requires to stay compliant.
