Porches

Your porch is more than a welcome mat—it’s a signature statement of your home’s character and a functional outdoor extension of your living space. At First State Building & Design, we design and build custom porches that enhance curb appeal, expand entertaining areas, and provide year-round enjoyment. Whether you envision a cozy front porch, a screened-in retreat, or a grand wraparound porch, we’ll bring your vision to life with expert craftsmanship and personalized design.

A beautifully designed porch creates a warm, inviting atmosphere the moment guests arrive. More than just aesthetics, it serves as a comfortable place to relax, gather, and connect. Whether you’re looking to upgrade your home’s entryway or add a breezy place to enjoy summer evenings, our team customizes each porch to reflect your lifestyle and architectural style.

A well-designed porch not only enhances your home’s exterior but also adds livable square footage and boosts resale value. Our team uses high-quality, weather-resistant materials and code-compliant construction to ensure your porch performs beautifully for years to come. From structural integrity to finishing touches, every element is built to last and tailored to your taste.

From covered front porches to screened-in side porches and open-air backyard escapes, we help you make the most of your home’s footprint. Enjoy morning coffee with a view, evening conversations with neighbors, or quiet weekend reading—your porch becomes the perfect space to slow down and soak in the outdoors, comfortably and stylishly.

At First State Building & Design, we bring experience, vision, and precision to every porch we build. Our team works closely with you from the first sketch to the final nail, ensuring your porch isn’t just an addition—it’s a seamless enhancement to your home. With in-house design, transparent timelines, and professional project management, we make the process easy and the results exceptional.

We offer a full suite of porch services, from new construction to renovations—each tailored to your home’s style and your family’s needs.

A covered front porch adds charm, shade, and function to your home’s entryway. We design and build everything from classic columned porches to contemporary overhangs, complete with railings, lighting, steps, and ceiling finishes that complement your home’s façade.

Screened-in porches provide a bug-free, breeze-filled space to enjoy the outdoors in comfort. We use durable, low-maintenance materials and can incorporate fans, lighting, and weather-resistant flooring to create a relaxing space that feels like an outdoor living room.

For larger homes or scenic properties, a wraparound porch adds old-fashioned charm and modern function. These porches provide space for multiple seating areas, garden views, and easier access to side or rear yards. We customize layout, railing style, and rooflines to integrate with your home.

Choose from a wide variety of finishes including pressure-treated wood, composite decking, PVC trim, tongue-and-groove ceilings, and decorative railings. We can also incorporate stone accents, outdoor lighting, and ceiling fans to elevate both form and function.

Already have a porch that’s showing its age? We offer full renovations and repairs—from replacing rotted posts and outdated railings to re-decking, re-roofing, and updating finishes. We’ll restore safety, style, and comfort to your outdoor space.

Your dream porch starts with thoughtful design. Our collaborative process ensures the finished product aligns with your home, lifestyle, and long-term goals.

Every project begins with a design meeting where we discuss how you want to use your space and what features are most important. We review size, style, materials, and budget—then present you with a custom concept and clear estimate.

Our design team evaluates your home’s structure, orientation, and existing architecture to propose layouts that flow naturally and comply with local codes. From shed-style to gable and hip roofs, we design rooflines that protect and impress.

Add the details that define your porch. Choose from traditional wood balusters, sleek cable railings, decorative columns, or low-maintenance aluminum. Ceilings can be finished in beadboard, wood planks, or composite, with recessed lighting, fans, or skylights for added style and comfort.

We’ll help you select finishes that match or elevate your home’s exterior—from color-matched paint and trim to custom flooring and stone piers. Your new porch will not only function beautifully but look like it was always meant to be part of your home.
