Porch Construction

The design of a porch offers a variety of options. You can choose from a palette of either sleek, contemporary designs popular in modern homes or a more traditional look with an old fashion feel. Abzun carpentry will ensure that you get the design you desire. Also, there’s plenty of flexibility in whichever combination of materials you decide to use for the main structure. 

As part of the installation, we offer a wide range of features and accessories to meet your taste and needs. They include:

  • Built-in benches: These are sitting areas on the porch that offer a great spot to curl up with a book or to sit with friends and family.
  • Porch Railings: Barriers made of vertical pieces of rail supported by posts and a horizontal piece. They increase curb appeal in regards to their height and color.
  • Mosquito: proof flooring- regular decking presents a gap problem between the boards. A screen is added underneath the floor to keep the bugs away.
  • Ceiling fans: Mechanical fans fixed on the ceiling of a room. They are usually powered by electricity. Not only do they cool you by turning in still, hot air, but they are also a great addition to the ambiance of the porch.
  • Lighting: This includes overhead lighting and enough outlets to facilitate the addition of lamps. 
  • Natural or composite wood embellishment: The composite material is a wood-plastic composite made of wood fiber, flour, and thermoplastics such as PVC. They are used in making floors and railings. The material is environmentally friendly and has several advantages: being insect-proof, splinter-free, resistant to fading, stains, rot, mold, cracks, warps, and scratches. This material is perfect for families with children and pets because it’s low maintenance. 
  •  A variety of Classic designs for steps that guarantee a breathtaking entryway.

 At Abzun, we take pride in being resourceful and will include any requests our clients have, such as installing music systems, a porch swing, or cabinets.

Porch Building Process

Taking up such a project can be intimidating. A lot of strain is involved in setting up a new structure.  However, don’t let that deter you. Our team aims to make the construction processes smooth sailing.  To achieve this, we make sure to explain the steps clearly and involve you in the decision-making. The steps include:

  • Consultation with our experts

This involves: 

  • Assessment of your location: the situation of the porch depends on the lighting of your house.  A front porch may cut off the sunlight from the living room. A nook with sunlight flooding would provide the optimum location.
  • The architectural design of your house: a modern bungalow calls for a different design as from an old, historic home.
  • A visit to the city building and planning office to find out if any rules apply and the permits required. Some types of houses have limits to the type of materials that can be used. For example, if you have a historic home, vinyl screening and composite decking are not allowed.

  • The actual construction of  by our builders

At this level, our seasoned carpenters will sit and discuss the designs you prefer, the options we offer, and the ones favorable for your home. It involves planning and actualizing your designs. We:

  • Analyze your home’s present style, structure, and material to make sure the porch matches up. Some are made of wood from the floor up to the railing, whereas others are more complex and depend on how the rest of the house looks. 
  • Plan on the construction materials. We will help you decide if you will use wood or composite material completely or incorporate other materials like brick.
  • Assess your porch foundation, which involves checking the terrain and the porch size. 
  • Build the foundation, frame the porch, install the joists, add the railings, porch floor, frame the steps, and build the roof.

At Abzun Carpentry, we understand how home constructions become taxing. Our builders are ready to lend you a hand in remodeling your outdoor spaces.
