It’s a fact that stone front porches are real head-turners!

• Stacked stone is an age-old design used for centuries for fences, columns, and simply as decoration.

• Stone around the lower front fascia and the bases for the front porch columns convey solid beauty.

• At Georgia Front Porch, we often wrap wood posts and bases with stone for added texture and architectural interest.

• Front porch steps can be upgraded by using bluestone, granite, limestone, or other types of pavers to create a beautiful new entry from your sidewalk to your newly updated front porch.

We will help you feel confident about your design options because you’ll see several 3-D renditions from which to choose. This will also ensure your new porch addition fits seamlessly into your home’s original design, rather than looking like an afterthought.

Stone front porches might include:

• a metal or shingle roof

• wood or PVC round or square columns

• aluminum balusters (look like iron but are low maintenance)

• ceiling fans

• recessed lights

Ceiling choices include beadboard, tongue-and-groove, coffered, and other designs. You may even wish to go truly old-Southern-traditional and paint the ceiling blue!

Once your stone front porch is constructed, normally in 7 – 10 days, you’ll want to furnish it so that you can truly relax and entertain on it. Your front porch is essentially an outdoor extension of your living space, an area of your home to be used for relaxing, enjoying a different view, unwinding with a good book, or even having coffee or tea with a neighbor.
