The initial state of the covered porch presented us with a challenge that our skilled team was more than ready to tackle. The task involved more than just a cosmetic upgrade – it demanded structural improvements and a fresh approach to enhance aesthetics and functionality.

The first phase of the project involved raising the porch roof to install temporary support walls for the rafters. This crucial step allowed us to proceed with replacing the old double 2x6 beam with a robust 14", 3-ply Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL). This upgrade not only ensured the porch's stability but also laid the foundation for the remarkable changes to come.

Next came the installation of sturdy 6x6 posts, which not only serve as reliable supports but also add a touch of elegance to the porch's design. To safeguard against the elements and maintain a pristine appearance, these posts were wrapped with PVC, combining durability and aesthetics seamlessly.

The roof system itself underwent a remarkable transformation. We opted for an all-new EPDM roofing system, a modern choice known for its exceptional waterproofing qualities and long-lasting performance. This addition not only provides protection from the elements but also contributes to the porch's overall energy efficiency and sustainability.

The fascia replacement further elevated the porch's appearance. A clean, well-maintained fascia doesn't just contribute to the aesthetic appeal but also safeguards the porch from water damage, making it a vital aspect of the project.

The porch's flooring received a complete makeover with the installation of composite decking. This decision not only enhances the visual appeal but also ensures the longevity of the porch, as composite materials are known for their durability and resistance to wear and tear.

Lastly, the attention to detail extended to the soffit, which was reinstalled meticulously. This final touch not only adds a polished look to the porch but also contributes to proper ventilation and air circulation, making the space comfortable and inviting year-round.

In conclusion, the completion of this covered porch rebuild is a testament to the power of thoughtful planning, skilled craftsmanship, and attention to detail. The project showcases not only the physical transformation of a space but also the expertise and dedication of the Caliber Roofing & Exterior Solutions team.
