Porches and Patios

Outdoor living spaces are quickly becoming a “must have” feature for many homeowners. There are a variety of styles and layouts to choose from to meet your lifestyle. Whether you are planning to sell or you want to live in your house for years to come, a thoughtfully designed covered patio or screened-in porch is a great way to improve the functionality and flow of your home.

Types of Porches and Patios

There are a variety of ways to add beautiful, functional outdoor living spaces to your home. Here are a few the porch and patio ideas for you to consider:

• Covered Porch – This porch design creates a shaded space to sit and enjoy the views from your home. Adding outdoor ceiling fans will ensure that there will always be a pleasant breeze while you relax.
• Patio – Your patio can be any shape you choose and constructed with a variety of materials to suit the aesthetic of your home—whether your preference is brick, tile, concrete, or stone.
• Screened-In Porch – A screened-in porch design enables you to extend your indoor living space outside, without being forced to deal with the fickle weather or unpleasant insects.
• Sunroom – A sunroom is fully enclosed with glass windows for use for most of the year. The addition of insulation and a connection to your home’s HVAC system can increase your enjoyment of the room to even the coldest months of the year.
• Second-Story Veranda – Adding a second-story veranda to your home provides long-distance views, as well as functional outdoor living space.
