TYPE OF PORCHES
Partially open or enclosed porches provide more protection from the elements and extend your living space. Porch designs can be versatile. The design and elegance will be used down to the details in the surrounding walls of the porch. Enclosed porches can also function as outdoor living rooms.
Open Porch
An open porch is any type of covered roof area. Open porches can be built at ground level with beautiful stone or paver flooring, or raised to a deck height, built of natural and long lasting composite materials. Open porches can often feel larger than similar size screen porches, due the lack of furniture restrictions and placement for screens and screen doors.
Screen Porch
Most open porches can be upgraded to add screens, either fixed or motorized. A screened porch can help you enjoy all the benefits of being outside, without the hassle of mosquitoes or other critters that live outdoors. A screen porch can also use the screens to give a little more privacy in crowded areas.
Three Season Porch
Want to use your porch even later in the season? Specially designed vinyl porch windows allow a screen porch to be converted into a three-season room. Three season porch offer the ability to open the windows in the summer for a screened effect, or close them in the winter to retain heat and protect from wind-chill. They also are great for keeping outdoor spaces clean during a dusty pollen season, or heavy sideways rains!

Ground-level porches are right next to the yard, making them feel like a more naturally integrated living space beside a lush lawn, playground or firepit space.
Second Story Porch

Second-story porches are accessible from the inside of the home by a door or stairway and provide a secluded and picturesque location for leisure and enjoyment.
Front Porch
