Porches Install & Repairs
A porch takes a different kind of abuse than the rest of a house — direct weather exposure, foot traffic, and structural framing that's often original to a home decades older than its roof. Soft boards, sagging steps, and railings that shift when you lean on them are structural issues, not cosmetic ones. We build and repair porches with framing and materials rated for constant weather exposure, not deck lumber pressed into a job it wasn't designed for.
- Structural inspection included — we check framing, not just the surface
- Pressure-treated and rot-resistant materials rated for direct weather exposure
- Railings and steps brought up to current code on every project
Porch installs and repairs across Auburn, Hoover, and Atlanta — rebuilt on solid framing, not patched over a soft floor.
A porch that looks fine from a distance can still have a framing problem underneath — joists softened by years of moisture, ledger boards pulling away from the house, footings that have shifted. Painting over a soft board or replacing one plank without checking what's underneath it just delays the real fix, and usually makes it more expensive when the rest of the structure finally goes. We start every porch job, install or repair, by actually getting underneath and checking the framing: joist spacing and condition, ledger attachment, footing stability, and whether the structure meets current code for railings and stair rise. For repairs, that means we fix the actual cause of the sag or soft spot, not just the board you can see. For new installs, it means proper flashing where the porch meets the house — the single most common source of long-term rot — along with materials chosen for constant sun and rain exposure rather than standard framing lumber. Whether you're dealing with a porch that's started to feel unstable or you're adding one from scratch, you get a structure built to hold up, not just to look right on move-in day.
Our Core Services
Repair or Replace?
If your roof is under 15 years old and the damage is localized, repair almost always makes sense. Past 20 years, or with damage across multiple slopes, replacement is usually the cheaper long-term call. We tell you which one you're looking at before we quote it.
Materials
Architectural asphalt shingles as standard, with metal, tile, and impact-rated options available. We walk you through what actually holds up in your climate rather than what's sitting in the warehouse.
Timeline
Inspection within 48 hours of your call. Most repairs done same-week. A standard residential replacement takes one to two days start to finish, including cleanup and magnetic nail sweep.
What It Costs
Pricing depends on square footage, pitch, layers to remove, and decking condition. You get a written, itemized quote after the inspection — not a number over the phone we revise later.
