What Is A Covered Porch?
A covered porch involves designing and constructing a roofed structure attached to your home—usually at the front, back, or side. It’s more than just a home addition. It’s an upgrade in how you live, gather, and enjoy your outdoor space.
At Dominion Custom Decks, our porch designs combine form and function. We help homeowners choose from a variety of materials, roof styles, and finishing touches. Whether you want a rustic wood frame, modern composite materials, or traditional columns with custom lighting, we’ve got options to match your taste.
Covered porches can be open or screened-in. You can add ceiling fans, skylights, recessed lights, privacy screens, and more. Each project is built to code and designed to last—no guesswork, no shortcuts.
Benefits of a Covered Porch
Covered porches are one of the smartest investments for homeowners. Here’s why:
- Year-Round Use - Virginia weather can be unpredictable. A covered porch gives you shelter from sun, rain, and snow—so you can enjoy your space in every season.
- Increased Home Value - A well-built covered porch is a strong selling point. It adds curb appeal and usable square footage, making your home more attractive to future buyers.
- Outdoor Comfort - Want to sip coffee outside in the morning or read a book during a summer storm? A covered porch gives you that freedom—without bugs, blazing heat, or soggy cushions.
- Energy Savings - A shaded porch can reduce direct sunlight entering your home, helping keep indoor temperatures cooler and lowering your energy bills.
- Custom Style Options - Every porch we build is tailored to your home and preferences. Add railings, lighting, screens, trim details, even outdoor TVs. You dream it, we build it.
- Extra Living Space - Covered porches function like an outdoor living room. Host cookouts, spend family time outside, or just relax after a long day.
