Help! Ugly front porch- need help with curb appeal!
Comments (7)Chiflipper is right. Repairs first, then cosmetics. Easy and inexpensive to fix the railing(s). As for the stairs, I would go in this direction for cosmetic changes or really gray treads and white risers....See MoreNeed help with small front porch and curb appeal please?!?!
Comments (20)What about a pergola extending from the left side of the house to the second floor bump out on the right? The section above the door could have a solid roof for weather protection, while the rest is open to allow light into the window. Or you could make a gable portico over the door and extend the pergola to the left off of that. You could do one over the garage as well but that might be too much, and to me adding dimension on the left is important. Properly sized shutters would actually work quite nicely here Someday :) With the style of the new garage door that would push your house a bit toward farmhouse....See MoreConcrete slab front porch - Needs more curb appeal
Comments (1)I definitely like it with something...it could be small plants or shrubs......See MoreDo I need a front porch and/or landscaping to have curb appeal?
Comments (12)You have a wonderfully low maintenance home. Adding a porch to older homes I have noticed really does elevate them and bring them a more modern look, curiously. Curious because front porches are a thing of times gone by really. Adding a porch to your home would add maintenance. At this point 36 years in I am not sure that makes sense. As stated your home is lovely as is. I am sorry you have never embraced its look, but I am guessing your vision as a young homeowner had you thinking a totally different sort of home. You can't turn a ranch into a Farmhouse/two story Colonial by adding a porch. Perhaps a wider front walk, maybe give it a bit of a meandering curve...sometimes we just need a bit of a change I get it. You could also widen the front steps/stoop so you could get a chair or two on it. Create a bit of a seating area. That would look better with your roof line than an add on roofed porch. Extended to the left under the smaller window would keep you away from your picture window....See MoreSigrid
