"Inadequate footing was poured for the 2 main posts. I requested a 3 post and told it was adequate. Within weeks one of the 2 posts buckled. It was repaired and a 3rd post added. The added 3rd post also had inadequate footing. The entire deck began to sag. The last day they were here they left tools in the yard and never returned. THEN I hired another contracted who had to lift the entire deck up with a series of jacks. The old footings barely were deeper than ground level (on a slope). New footings were poured and main posts were all re-aligned. Numerous lag bots were added. Hurricane ties were used to keep the roof from lifting in strong winds. Three posts were added where the deck was anchored to the side of the house. Two more posts were added at the exterior stairway and on the opposite side of the deck to prevent sway. A Double stringer was used to reinforce for sagging down the underside of the middle of the deck. If not for the work by the 2nd contractor I believe the deck would have shifted and collapsed."

"Graber Outdoors did a phenomenal job on our new Trex Deck. I honestly feel like I have a resort deck in my backyard. From the salesman, to the office staff and crew, it was as smooth as you could ever ask. No high pressure sales. Joe and Mark, the salesmen, were fabulous to work with. Very professional . On budget. The crew and Chase were on time every day, courteous, respectful, and worked together like a well oiled machine. Always cleaned up after each day. No problems. No worries. Great job! We would use them again in a heartbeat."

A well-designed wraparound porch can significantly enhance your property's market appeal by improving curb appeal and expanding usable living space. The value increase varies based on your neighborhood, regional preferences, and how well the porch complements your home's architectural style. While you may not recoup the entire construction cost when selling, the enhanced marketability and distinctive character often make your property more attractive to potential buyers than similar homes without this feature.
While not mandatory, adding a roof to your wraparound porch provides substantial benefits, including protection from precipitation, shade during hot weather, and preservation of flooring materials. A covered porch creates a more versatile outdoor living space in various weather conditions. Though roofed structures initially cost more, they deliver greater functionality and potentially higher property value enhancement than uncovered alternatives.
Construction timelines for wraparound porches span several weeks to a few months, depending on project scope. The process begins with design and permitting phases, followed by foundation work, framing, flooring installation, and finishing details. Weather conditions, material availability, contractor scheduling, and design complexity influence the timeline. Larger porches with custom features naturally require more time than simpler, smaller projects.
Building permits are required for wraparound porch construction in most jurisdictions. These permits ensure your structure meets local building codes for structural integrity, proper attachment methods, appropriate railing heights, and other safety standards. Constructing without required permits risks potential fines, complications during future home sales, and possible removal orders. Requirements vary by location, so consulting your local building department before starting construction is essential.
The ideal flooring material depends on your specific priorities regarding appearance, maintenance requirements, durability, and budget. Traditional wood provides classic beauty but requires regular maintenance. Composite materials offer lower maintenance needs but at a higher initial cost. Concrete provides exceptional durability and minimal upkeep, but with a less traditional appearance. Your local climate conditions, expected foot traffic, and aesthetic preferences should guide your selection process rather than assuming one universal "best" option exists.
