Porch building and restoration work involves the construction or renovation of a porch, which is a covered or uncovered platform that extends from the front or back of a building. Porches can serve both functional and aesthetic purposes, providing a place to relax, socialize, or simply enjoy the outdoors. Here are some key aspects of porch building and restoration work:

Design and Planning

• Determine the purpose and style of the porch (e.g., front porch, back porch, screened porch, open-air porch).
• Consider the materials to be used (e.g., wood, composite decking, concrete, stone) and their durability.
• Create a design that complements the overall architecture of the building.

Flooring and Decking

• Properly treat or finish wood to protect it from the elements.

• Choose roofing materials that match the style of the porch and provide protection from rain and sun.

Railings and Balusters

• Ensure that railings meet local building codes.
