"Joshua, the owner of Down East Pools hired our company to deliver the rock for a residential pools. Aug 2021 (2 separate properties) In one instance we paid for the rock on OUR ACCOUNT. Its October and we are still waiting for the full amount owed. We're trying to recover from COVID and he's taking advantage of us! I went to the residence where the rock was delivered and the property owner said he fired Joshua also. He lied so much! NOT PROFESSIONAL! Do not use him, he doesn't pay his bills."

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.
