One of the most fashionable ways to boost curb appeal is to install a lavish new porch. You can make your home much classier, and enhance the outdoor ambiance with this type of project. This is one of our specialties at Craftsman’s Choice, but we’d like to educate you on all the important planning considerations before starting.
Our Favorite New Porch Styles
Designing a new porch in 2022 is a lot of fun because there’s so much you can do now that was impossible 30 or 40 years ago. When it comes to exterior renovation, there’s no shortage of fun special features you can add to your home. You can really rejuvenate it with an ornate porch
These are just a few ways to put together a gorgeous front porch.
- Front Porch Porticos
- Screened Porches
- Open Porches
- Sunroom-Style Porches
Screened porches are nice because they give you a scenic view of your area, but tend to be costly. Sunroom porches do much the same, but you get even more protection from the elements with glass windows. The windows themselves bring you an even greater enhancement opportunity. Open porches, on the other hand, can be as simple as you want. However, you have to deal with bugs in the summertime.
Next, we’ll look closer at porticos (our favorite) and give you a quick preview of the installation process.
Porticos Are All The Rage Now
Both porches and porticos are really popular for home improvement purposes in Minnesota. Porticos give you everything you’d get with a porch along with overhead protection and even further beautification. We’ve done quite a few of these that you can review on our website.
You’ll appreciate our handiwork when you examine this beautiful Edina home that we renovated with a new portico and James Hardie Siding. It’s very crisp, clean, and appealing on many levels. Notice the Arctic White trim complimenting the Pewter siding. That’s one of the most sought-after trim colors at the moment as well.
