Local planning makes a better porch
SES Custom Homes provides Henrico homeowners with straightforward recommendations and exterior improvements tailored to the house—not a one-size-fits-all package.
Henrico porches may attach to compact ranch homes, brick colonials, or larger West End houses. Each condition calls for a different approach to roof pitch, door location, foundation, and exterior finishes.
A porch adds a roofed outdoor room, which makes the connection to the house especially important. We coordinate rooflines, drainage, ceiling height, screens or open sides, lighting, and circulation as one design.

Frequently asked questions
Planning porches in Henrico
What is the difference between a screened porch and a covered porch?
Both have a roof. A screened porch adds insect screening and often feels more like a defined room; a covered porch stays more open to breezes, views, and the yard.
Can a porch roof connect to my existing roof?
Often, yes. The right approach depends on wall height, windows, existing roof pitch, drainage paths, and the desired ceiling. We study those conditions before settling on a roof form.
Can a porch include fans and lighting?
Yes. Electrical planning can include ceiling fans, lighting, receptacles, and switching. These locations should be coordinated early with the framing and ceiling design.
