Building Your Backyard Retreat
We don’t believe in “one size fits all.” We design your back porch based on how you actually live.
The Screened Sanctuary
This is our most requested project. We frame a sturdy roof and install high-visibility screening (like the Screeneze system) to create a bug-free room. It allows you to enjoy dinner outside without swatting away flies or mosquitoes.
The Open-Air "Lanai"
If you love grilling, an open covered porch is ideal. It provides shade and rain protection but allows smoke to escape easily. It is the perfect spot for a Big Green Egg or a gas grill station.
The Multi-Zone Porch
Why choose just one? We often build "hybrid" porches that feature a screened section for dining and lounging, connected to an open grilling deck. This gives you the best of both worlds.
Back Porch Repair & Replacement
Back porches take a beating from the weather. If your existing porch is showing its age, we can help.
- Structural Repairs
We often see back porches with rotting support posts or sagging roof headers. We can shore up the structure, remove the rotten wood, and install new, rot-resistant pressure-treated lumber to make it safe again. - Rescreening
If your screens are ripped, baggy, or brittle from the sun, we can replace them. We upgrade old stapled screens to modern systems that hold tight and resist pet damage. - Full Replacement
Sometimes, an old porch is just too far gone. If the framing is compromised, we can safely tear it down
and build a modern, larger porch on the same footprint (or expand it) to give you the space you really want.
Common Questions About Back Porches
Can I add a TV or fireplace to my back porch?
Absolutely. We can frame a reinforced wall specifically for mounting a TV and run the necessary electrical outlets. We can also frame for a gas or wood-burning fireplace, which is a fantastic way to extend your porch season well into the winter.
How much does a new back porch cost?
A custom back porch project varies based on size and finishes. Simple open porches start around $15,000, while fully finished screened rooms with electrical and premium trim often range from $35,000 to $55,000+.
Do I need a permit for a back porch?
Yes. Adding permanent structure to your home, whether it’s a roofed porch or an expanded footprint, requires a building permit from the City of Hoover. We handle the drawings and inspections to ensure your project is code-compliant.
Can you enlarge my existing back porch?
Absolutely. If your current porch is too small for a dining table or seating group, we can extend the foundation and roofline. This gives you the square footage you need for entertaining without having to move.
