Kim, I am having a hard time understanding your question as posed.

Is your question along the lines of "you want to add a cover to the existing stoop without changing the roof lines?"

Or you want to extend the stoop but you are worried about the roof lines?

Or is your question something else?

If you are looking for more space on the current stoop, then I would find a new location for the planters. Those particular planters are too large for the space you have on the stoop.

Thank you for replying. I want to get rid of the carpet on the porch. If we do that, now is the time to change the porch if we're going to, but I'm concerned how that would look without having a cover over it.

I don't see carpet in the photos you've posted.

IDK - I see grey carpet.

I'm not sure how you would add a roof over the porch without changing the main roof line.

I'd fix the steps!

Oh, I thought that was concrete.

What would you do to the steps?

its outdoor carpet on the top part.

I was thinking the same. It would look off if you made the porch longer but didn't change the roof???

You would need to add a gable roof addition to cover the porch. You cannot extend the current roofline, as that would be too low.

Thank you. I agree, the roof line would be too low. Do you think it needs something like the gable roof? Any other options with that carpet rather than the cost of adding a gable roof?

What in the world are you talking about? No one will force you to build a roof over your porch if you remove the carpet.

Sorry for the confusion. We'd like to remove that carpet but when we do, we will need to most likely demo the porch and start fresh. We thought about making the porch a little bigger but really don't want to pay to redo the roof line.

Question: should we make the porch any bigger?

and if we do, would it look funny without having a cover over it?

We don't like the carpet and would rather have cement. But it's glued down and you can't get the glue off the cement under it.

Denita, thank you so much!

That's not a porch, a porch must have a roof which you don't have........you have a stoop. If you are in a colder zone, the carpet could prevent you from falling on ice.
