Planning Your Back Porch
Before choosing a floor plan with extensive porch space, take into consideration
the amount of space around your new home, which can determine how large the porch can be.
Will trees be in the way and need to be removed?
Is there enough space to accommodate the extra width of a large porch without encroaching required setbacks?
How to Choose Your Back Porch Style
Do you want the porch to have rounded corners or traditional 90 degree angles?
What type of flooring and hand railing materials are appropriate?
What types of columns, balusters, or posts are appropriate, given the style of the home?
Do you want running trim or molding?
How Much Does a Back Porch Cost?
Cost varies depending on:
- Total square footage of porch space
- Type of porch surface (can be concrete, wood, brick, slate, tile, or other flooring surface)
- Type of railings
- Type of support pillars (Hand built Craftsman stone columns are the most expensive, basic 4x4 support post
are least expensive, with a wide range of options between)
- Type of roof (standing seam metal, rounded, copper, dimensional shingles)
- Height from the ground
Depending on the style and features, a covered or screen porch can add $5-15K or more to the cost of your new home.
