An uncovered deck gets too hot in summer and too wet the rest of the year. Maybe you've tried umbrellas or shade sails and still can't use the space the way you want. Our porch construction in Lincolnton, NC builds open, covered and screened porches that expand your home's living space. It's a room outside, built to last like the rest of the house.
When You Need Porch Construction
Think about a porch when your deck or patio sits empty because of sun, rain or bugs, or when your front entry needs a covered place to stand. An old porch may also need rebuilding if the floor is soft, the posts are rotting, the roof leaks or the whole structure leans away from the house. Rot at the bottom of posts and where the porch roof meets the house are the most common problems. Many older porches in the area were added without footings or flashing, and water has been working on them for years. Waiting on a failing porch roof can let water into your home's wall and framing. A porch in good shape also adds curb appeal when it's time to sell.
Our Porch Construction Process
We plan the size, the roof shape and whether you want the porch open, covered or screened. Because a porch has a roof, it ties into your home's framing and roofline, so we design those connections first. Then we build the footings, framing, floor, roof and trim as one project.
It starts with a free estimate. Before work begins, your written contract spells out the scope, the price and the warranty coverage. Timing depends on the size of the job, and we go over it with you up front. For contracted work, we manage any required permits and inspections. Throughout the job, you can reach the people doing the work directly.
Porch Construction Cost in Lincolnton
Porch cost depends on the size, the roof style and how it ties into your house, the flooring, and whether you add screens, ceiling finishes or wiring for fans and lights by a licensed electrician.
Estimates are free, and the price is in your written contract before work starts. Larger projects are paid with a deposit and progress payments as work is completed. We accept debit and credit cards. Hidden damage under shingles, floors or walls is the biggest unknown in most projects.
