It’s a place to enjoy a thunderstorm or rain shower without getting wet. Or a venue to entertain guests on a beautiful summer evening. It can even add appeal to your home and help increase its resale value when it’s time to sell.
There are a variety of reasons why it makes sense to add a covered porch to your property — whether it’s a covered screen porch that you can truly enjoy year-round or just a standard porch that’s ideal for using during the warmer weather months. But the path to that dream porch all starts with working with the right contractor.
Questions to Ask a Covered Porch Contractor
How can you determine if you’re working with the right contractor to bring your porch from concept to reality? Here’s a look at some of the key questions you should be asking before you sign any sort of work order:
Can you help me design a porch that would look good for my home?
Are you licensed and insured?
How soon can you begin and how long will it take?
Regardless of the quality of the contractor that you’re working with, it’s also good to have a general idea of when a contractor will be able to begin your work and about how long it will take just for your general planning purposes.
Can we speak to a reference that worked with your firm in the past?
What's your preferred method of communication?
Things to Know When Building a Covered Porch
In addition to finding the right contractor, there are a number of things that you want to be sure you fully understand before the project commences. Here’s a look at some of these key considerations:
- Is the porch going to be constructed in the front or the back of the home?
- How do you intend to utilize the porch?
- Do you want a conventional porch or a covered screen porch?
- Do you want add-on features, like a fireplace, ceiling fans, etc.?
And perhaps most importantly, know what your budget is and what you can afford to spend on such a project.
