Why Porches Matter in Seattle
Porches are especially popular in older Seattle neighborhoods like Capitol Hill and Queen Anne — where covered outdoor space is a practical necessity given Seattle’s rainy climate. A well-designed porch offers:
Covered Outdoor Space
Year-round usable outdoor living area protected from Seattle’s frequent rain — extending your home’s functional square footage.
Rain Protection
A covered entryway keeps guests and packages dry and protects your front door from constant moisture exposure.
Curb Appeal Improvement
A well-designed porch dramatically transforms your home’s street presence and significantly increases perceived value.
Additional Seating Areas
Comfortable outdoor seating and gathering space that can be enjoyed even during Seattle’s long cool seasons.
We’ve built front and back porches across the Seattle metro area — traditional covered porches in Queen Anne, modern designs in South Lake Union, and wraparound porches in older Craftsman homes throughout Capitol Hill.

HOW WE WORK
Our Porch Construction Process
1
Design
We design porches that match your home’s architecture — Craftsman, modern, traditional, and more — while meeting Seattle’s building requirements.
2
Material Selection
Choose from wood, composite, and weather-resistant materials — we recommend options proven to perform in Seattle’s wet, temperate climate.
3
Construction
We build the porch structure with proper framing, roofing, and drainage — handling all permits and ensuring code compliance throughout.
4
Finishing
We paint, stain, and seal all surfaces for durability, and can integrate lighting, electrical outlets, and ceiling fans as requested.
BUILT FOR SEATTLE’S CLIMATE
Importance of Quality Materials
Porches must withstand rain, moisture, foot traffic, and UV exposure. We use treated lumber, composite decking, and weather-resistant roofing to ensure long-lasting performance in Seattle’s climate.
Treated Lumber
Pressure-treated framing and structural members that resist rot, insects, and moisture for the lifetime of the porch.
Composite Decking
Low-maintenance, splinter-free, and resistant to moisture and fading — an excellent porch floor surface for Seattle’s climate.
Weather-Resistant Roofing
Standing seam metal and architectural shingle roofing systems that handle Seattle’s rainfall and wind without leaking.
Moisture-Resistant Finishes
Exterior-grade paints, stains, and sealers that protect wood surfaces from Seattle’s persistent moisture and UV exposure.
