4 Benefits of a Front Porch Addition

Now that the summer is here, you might be considering adding a front porch to your home. Front porches are loved for many reasons, and they seem to go hand in hand with the warmer weather. If you are on the fence about adding a front porch to your house, here are a few reasons to consider it.

• Curb Appeal. Adding a front porch can improve the overall look of your home. Whether you choose to add a covered or uncovered front porch, your house will look more inviting and it will add an extra “wow” factor to your home’s exterior.

• Covered Front Entry. If you choose to add a covered porch, you’ll have the benefit of a front entry that is protected from the elements. This is especially nice in the rain or snow and can be beneficial in shading sunlight in the summer.

• Extended Living Space. A front porch can extend the living space of your home, making it more functional and enjoyable. You can add chairs and a small table, which makes it a great place to gather with family and friends, or just enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning.

• Increased Home Value. Front porches are a highly desired home feature, and they can increase the overall value of your home. Because of this, you may be able to recoup the cost of your front porch addition when it’s time to sell.
