Front and Back Porches in Leander
We are a porch builder in Leander for front and back porches with wood floors, steps and rails that suit the face of your house.
Front Porches
A front porch is the first thing people see. It should look like it belongs to the house. We match the trim, the roof line and the colors so it does not look tacked on.
Even a small porch changes how a house feels. A spot for two chairs and a place to set down groceries goes a long way.
Back Porches That Join a Deck
Out back, a covered porch can lead out to an open deck. You get shade by the door and sun farther out. This works well on sloped lots where the deck steps down from the porch level.
Steps, Rails and Entries
Porch steps get used every day, often with full hands. We build them wide, even and solid, with rails where the code calls for them. Leander's packet says plans must meet the 2021 IRC.
The Permit
Leander says a permit is needed before building work starts inside city limits, and its list includes additions to existing structures. A porch added to your house fits that. See the permit guide.
Questions We Hear
Can a new porch match my house?
Yes. We look at the trim, roof line and colors on the first visit and plan the porch to match.
Do porches need a permit in Leander?
Inside city limits, plan on it. The city lists additions to existing structures among the work that needs a permit. Confirm with the city for your address.
