Porch Design & Planning
A well-designed porch adds curb appeal, comfortable living space, and lasting value to your home. Whether you want a welcoming front porch for morning coffee or a private back porch for entertaining, we design a space that complements your home’s architecture and the way you live.
Our design process starts with your goals, style, and budget. We help you choose the porch type, layout, materials, columns, railings, and finishes — and give you a clear plan and written estimate. When your design is ready, our porch installation crew builds it to code, start to finish.
What We Build
A well-designed porch should complement your home, suit how you use your outdoor space, and work with the property itself. Our porch design service helps you plan the details before construction begins, from the overall layout to the materials and finishing touches.
We help you bring these elements together into a cohesive design that is practical, attractive, and suited to your Thornton, CO home.
Porch Styles
Every home is different, so we design each porch around your style, budget, and how you’ll use the space — then build it to last in Colorado’s climate.
A welcoming front porch boosts curb appeal and greets guests in style. We design columns, railings, and seating that blend with your home’s architecture.
Back porches offer a private retreat for family time and entertaining. We design quiet, comfortable spaces with room for seating, dining, and connected outdoor living.
Ideal for farmhouse and Victorian homes, a wrap-around porch adds charm and usable space along the front and sides — we typically design them 6–8 feet deep.
Enjoy the outdoors bug-free, most of the year. We design screened-in porches with UV-blocking screens and can plan for fans, lighting, and TVs for a comfortable three-season retreat.
A traditional farmer’s porch brings country charm with sturdy columns and a cozy, covered spot to relax. We match the columns, railings, and finishes to your home’s style.
From modern covered porches to fully custom porch design, we plan roofed, weather-protected spaces tailored to your layout, materials, and how you’ll use them.

How It Works
Creating a custom porch starts with understanding how you want to use the space and how it can work with your existing home. Our design and planning process helps turn those ideas into a practical plan for your project.
We discuss your goals, preferred style, how you want to use the porch, and the features that matter most to you.
We consider the existing home, available space, access, layout, and other site factors that can influence the design.
We develop the porch layout and help determine appropriate materials, railings, architectural details, and other design elements.
We review the proposed design and make adjustments based on your preferences and the needs of the property.
Once the design is established, the project can move into the appropriate construction and permitting steps.
From your first consultation to the final walkthrough, we make the process simple, organized, and stress-free. Here’s what you can expect when working with our experienced local team.
Planning Your Budget
Every porch is designed and quoted individually. The biggest factors are the porch type and size; whether it’s open, covered, or screened-in; the required foundation; your flooring and railing materials; columns; and any roofing or custom features. Tell us about your home and how you’ll use the space, and we’ll prepare a clear, written estimate — no guesswork, no pressure.

Good to Know
Consider size, style, materials, and how you’ll use the space — open or covered, the flooring and railing, and how it complements your home’s exterior. Structural elements like the foundation, framing, and roof support matter for durability, along with local building codes and Colorado’s weather.
We design front porches, back porches, wrap-around porches, screened-in porches, farmer’s porches, and covered or fully custom porches. We tailor each to your home’s architecture, your budget, and how you plan to use the space.
Your porch should complement your home’s architecture: farmhouses suit wrap-around porches, bungalows a cozy covered front porch, and modern homes a clean, minimalist design. We’ll help you match the style to your home and how you plan to use the space.
Pressure-treated wood is affordable and classic; composite (Trex, AZEK) is durable and low-maintenance; concrete is strong and versatile with stamped or stained finishes; natural stone offers a high-end look. The best choice depends on your budget, climate exposure, and the look you want.
An open porch offers fresh air, natural light, and a classic look. A screened-in porch keeps bugs out and provides protection from wind and light rain, making it usable for more of the year. We’ll help you weigh comfort, use, and budget in the design.
Yes — that’s the goal. We design columns, railings, rooflines, and finishes to complement your home’s style, whether it’s a farmhouse, bungalow, or modern build, so the porch looks like it was always part of the house.
Once you approve the design and estimate, our porch installation crew builds it — foundation, framing, columns, roofing, flooring, and railings — to current building codes. Designing and building with one local team means no handoffs and no surprises.
Usually, yes — porches involve structural and often roofing work that typically requires permits and inspections. As your licensed local contractor, we build to local codes and can advise on which permits your project requires to stay compliant.
