What to Consider When Converting Your Deck to a Porch
Decks are great additions to your home. They provide one of the best places to grill and entertain family and friends. However, decks have limitations. For one, you can only enjoy your deck if the weather is permitting. If it rains, snows, or sleets, you are confined indoors. On the other hand, a porch can be used for the same purposes as a deck, and more.
Before you decide on converting your deck into a porch, there are a few things you should consider.
What type of Porch Is Best for Your Home and Budget?
