At one time in the American past, the front porch was the center of attraction for outdoor family gathering.
While today most families enjoy congregating and entertain on the backyard deck, others still are rediscovering the utility, value and neighborhood interaction offered by the front porch.

Depending on the design of a home, the absence of a front porch can be a major obstacle to increasing home equity. In such cases, a backyard deck or even screen porch just isn't enough.
If a front porch is suffering from rotting posts, rails or sinking flooring, then a front porch makeover could be a solution that fits both need and budget.
