The owners of this Seattle home contacted us to replace a poorly constructed and leaking front porch that had so many construction defects it needed to be completely removed and replaced. We saw this as an opportunity to construct a leak free porch and to add some style and detail to a beautiful old craftsman style home located above Portage Bay. The owner also had spent many years cultivating a stunning garden that deserved to be viewed from a beautifully detailed new front porch.

The new design incorporates three arched openings on the front of the house, with large columns to hold up a second story porch with views of Portage Bay. Also incorporated within the columns are the drains for the deck above, which is now covered with a new waterproof PVC roofing membrane and beautiful Ironwood decking. New railings integrate into the design and are capped with an Ironwood rail (rather than painted wood) to reduce yearly maintenance.
