The rotting porch was almost unusable when the new owners bought this house. Once I made the shell of the porch structurally sound again, I installed new windows. The porch had floor to ceiling windows which made the room fully visible from the outside. I removed all of those and replaced them with windows large enough to see the woodlands but small enough to afford some privacy.
Once that work was complete I could then do the remodel of the interior. This included adding tongue and groove shiplap pine cladding on the walls, replacing the windows and removing the low ceiling to expose the full height of the cathedral ceiling. I also wired the whole room for sound! Having this 40 x 20 porch for three seasons of the year really expanded the footprint of their home and allows them to take advantage of the beautiful wooded yard that their home overlooks.
Look below for before and after photos of the porch.
