Your Favorite Seat, Rain or Shine
A covered porch is where mornings start with coffee and evenings end watching the sunset. It shades you from the summer heat, keeps the rain and snow off your entry, and gives your family one more room to live in, outside.
We design and build covered porches that look like they’ve always been part of your home, with solid framing, quality materials and the details that make them last.
Covered Porch Services
From a welcoming front entry to a covered deck built around the view, every porch is custom built for your home.
Front Entry Porches
A covered entry that welcomes guests, boosts curb appeal and keeps weather off the front door.
Covered Back Decks
A raised deck with a roof overhead, so you can enjoy the backyard in sun or rain.
Timber-Frame Roofs
Exposed timber beams and knee braces for a warm, solid look that’s built to carry Idaho snow.
Railings & Stairs
Cedar railings and full staircases that make the porch safe, comfortable and easy to use.
Roofing to Match
Metal or shingle roofing chosen to match or complement the roof on your home.
Skirting & Finishes
Skirted, painted bases and clean trim that tie the porch into the rest of the house.
Exposed timber beams, knee braces and cedar railings, built around the view
Built Solid, Built Beautiful
A covered porch has to look good and stand up to Idaho’s sun, wind and snow. We frame the roof with heavy timber beams and knee braces, top it with metal or shingle roofing, and wrap the deck in cedar railings that weather beautifully.
Mike takes care of the plans and drawing approvals from start to finish, so you never have to deal with the paperwork.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a covered porch cost?
It depends on the size, the height of the deck, the roof style and materials, and how the porch connects to your home. After a visit to look at the space, we’ll give you a clear, itemized estimate.
Do I need a permit for a covered porch?
In most cases, yes, especially when the roof attaches to your home. Mike handles the plans, drawings and city approvals for you before construction begins.
Can you match the porch to my house?
Yes. We match or complement your roofline, roofing, colors and trim, and skirt and paint the base, so the porch looks like it was always part of the house.
Will a covered porch hold up to Idaho snow and wind?
We frame covered porches with heavy timber beams, knee braces and solid connections sized for local loads, so they stand up to Idaho’s snow, wind and sun.
How long does it take to build a covered porch?
It depends on the size of the project and how long permits take. Once the design is final and approvals are in, we’ll give you a clear schedule and keep you updated.
