Porches, Entrances and Doorways

One way to significantly improve the appearance of a property is to add a new porch or renovate an old one. A porch is far more welcoming to your family and guests as they don't have to stand in the wind and rain waiting for the door to be answered, but not only that as dirt and dust is less likely to be carried into he house.

Porches can be of a simple but effective design

This porch solves two problems, one containing and protecting the entrance
and two dealing with changes in surface level each side of the door.

leave a bike out of the rain or perhaps sit under on a hot day.
