Porch Construction in Greater Boston
A porch is part structure, part curb appeal. On Boston's older homes especially, a well-built porch has to carry a roof, match the architecture, and stand up to weather — all at once.
VB Construction builds and rebuilds front and back porches across Greater Boston. Many of the city's homes were designed around their porches, so a rebuild has to respect the original proportions, column styles, and trim details while meeting modern structural and code requirements underneath.
Whether it is a covered front porch, a rebuilt back porch on a triple-decker, or a screened porch for the summer, we handle the footings, framing, roof tie-in, decking, columns, railings, and finish so the porch is sound and looks like it belongs on the house.
Porch work sits alongside the rest of our outdoor structures and often matches the character of an older home.
What's included
- Footings and framing below the frost line
- Roof structure and tie-in where covered
- Columns, railings, and trim to match the home
- Decking and ceiling finishes
- Repair or rebuild of failing existing porches
- Permit and inspections handled
Best for: Homeowners rebuilding a deteriorating porch or adding a porch that fits an older home's character.
Frequently asked questions
Can you rebuild a porch to match my older home?
Yes. Matching column styles, railing patterns, and trim profiles is a big part of porch work on Boston's older homes. We rebuild the structure to current code underneath while keeping the look faithful to the house above.
