Should a front porch have a step down, or be flush?
Comments (13)Maybe I am wrong but when you say porch that includes a roof and can be a part of the home. A deck or patio is with out a roof system unless you build roof structure of sorts but it is till opened air?? So everyone stating about weather and leaves snow its a porch with a roof unless it has no knee walls a snow drift or wind blown leaves will gather at the door.???? I am having the same issue when addressing my 70ft deck that has a metal roof and I divided it with walls...So its a PORCH till I enclose each room into a sun room still a porch. A family room on the porch till It is structured as one etc......See Moreexpanding front porch steps
Comments (2)How do you plan to address the column that is holding up your porch roof? Maybe this will help you understand your existing conditions. You can only widen the stairs in one direction....See Morefront porch steps slope down
Comments (2)Thank you for your comment. Our treads are 3 to 4ft deep and slope 4degrees each or 2 to 3 inch drop from back to front. Here are 2 photos....See MoreNeed color ideas for front door, porch, steps, shutters;landscape idea
Comments (9)I pulled up this photo. The brick is a little darker but similar to yours, I thought. I like the idea of a green for your shutters and I wondered about painting both door and trim a dark color, maybe a dark purplish almost black. I think the column could be pulled from your chart, a warmer tone than your current white - maybe Swiss Coffee. Think about whether you'd like that same color for your railing and maybe a dark brown from your brick for the treads and risers. Here's a screenshot of some greens that might work. This link will let you identify all the colors shown, if you want. I love your brick. https://benjaminmoorefrance.com/en/colors/1560...See MoreSheila long
