Porch Contractors in Birmingham, AL
A porch in this climate lives or dies on two details: whether it is shaded and screened enough to sit on in August, and whether the roof and footings were built to last through the storms.
We build for both, tie the roof into the house properly rather than hanging it off the fascia, and give you a fixed written price for the finished structure.
We reply the same business day.
Covered, screened or fully enclosed. These are the pieces we price.
Covered
An uncovered deck in Birmingham is unusable for most of the afternoon for half the year. A roof changes it from somewhere you look at into somewhere you sit.
We plan the depth and the pitch around where the sun actually is at four in the afternoon, not just around what fits the elevation.
Screened
Screening is what extends the season at both ends. We use systems that can be re-screened panel by panel later, because screen is the part that eventually needs attention and you should not have to rebuild a wall to replace it.
Door placement gets planned so it does not swing into the furniture.
Enclosed
Glazing a porch turns three seasons into four. Whether it needs conditioned air depends on how you plan to use it, and that changes what the walls and roof have to do.
We will tell you honestly which option suits how you actually live rather than selling the largest one.
Home Value
In this climate a usable covered outdoor room is close to expected at a certain price point. Buyers notice its absence more than they notice a slightly bigger bedroom.
Built on proper footings with a permitted roof, it counts as a structure rather than as something a surveyor queries.
