The Portfolio
Recent remodels, from decks given a roof to old porches screened in, each starting from a different porch and a different family.
Our Process
The arc from your first visit to our showroom to the first evening back on your porch. Three chapters, learned over thirty years of building in Middle Tennessee.
It starts at our West Nashville showroom, with photos of the porch you have. We listen to what's working, what isn't and how you'd like to use it, then show you materials and porches we've built before we talk about yours. No charge, no pressure. You leave with a sense of what's possible.
The upgrade made real before anything comes down. We look at what's there, measure everything and refine the plan with you until it feels right. You'll know exactly what we're updating and adding, with plans ready to permit and build.
When work begins, you get one project manager, weekly updates, and carpenters who've been building Nashville porches for years. At the end, we walk it with you, fix anything that isn't right, and clean up like we were never there.
The Investment
Every porch remodel is designed around its house, so no two cost the same. Most porch remodels fall within one of these three ranges.

The Details
Every upgrade is a stack of decisions before it's a set of drawings. These are the ones we walk through with you.
Screening It In
Screens added to an open porch, with a proper screen door and the gaps closed at the floor and ceiling.
A Roof Over the Deck
A gable, hip or shed roof matched to the house, on footings built to carry it. Screened now, or ready to screen later.
Expanding the Porch
A deeper porch for a dining table, a wider one for more seating, or a new section that wraps the corner, tied into what's already there.
Floors & Ceilings
Composite or thermally modified wood underfoot. Exposed rafters, beadboard or tongue and groove overhead, with fans and lights wired before it closes.
Screens, Rails & Doors
New screens, a railing in PVC, aluminum, cable or classic wood spindles, and a screen door that closes the way it should.
Motorized Screens & Curtains
Screens or clear vinyl curtains that roll up and down with a button, often added to the porch you already have.
Fans, Fire & Light
A ceiling fan, a heater or fireplace for cool evenings and lighting warm enough for dinner.

Every one of these is a real Google review from a Middle Tennessee family. A few are shown here; the rest sit on our Google Business Profile.
I'm sitting on the porch at this very moment, listening to the birds.You built our porch 17 years ago and some railings and screens needed replacing. The refresh was long overdue and was done timely and well.

We could not recommend them more! They were everything you want when doing a construction project; efficient, responsive, caring and the quality of their work cannot be beat.

Nancy, Audrey, Dan, Eddie, Carolyn and the rest of The Porch Co. team were able to make our dream porch a reality! Nancy's design was truly remarkable given our existing rooflines which were a bit of a challenge to tie-in to accomplish the architecture and aesthetics we were hoping to achieve. Audrey's team did everything they said they would from start to finish in record time. Our favorite feature is the motorized vinyl curtains which were a bit of an afterthought, but The Porch Co. team was able to pull off this last minute change without a hitch which allows us to use this space year round. We would highly recommend them for anyone looking to transform their existing deck or porch into what is now our favorite room in our home.

The Options
The right one depends on how you’ll use it. Here’s how we explain the difference.
A roof overhead and the yard all around.
No screens, no glass. A roofline tied into the house so it looks original, and an easy connection to the yard.
Best when
You want shade and shelter, and don’t mind sharing the space with the outdoors.
Explore
All of the outdoors, none of the mosquitoes.
Fresh air and natural light, with bugs kept out. The space our clients gravitate to from spring through fall, and well into winter with a fireplace.
Best when
You want to live outside for most of the year.
Explore
The porch that stays a room in March.
Windows that open to screens, so the room stays comfortable on cool days and breezy on warm ones. The space where morning coffee moves outside in March and stays there through November.
Best when
You want the porch feeling, with a longer season on both ends.
Explore
A room of the house, closer to the yard.
Fully insulated, heated and cooled with the house. A true living space that brings the yard into everyday life, all year long.
Best when
You want to use it every day, including January.
ExploreThe Honest Version
A closer look at each decision, so you can come to your first design meeting already knowing what you like.
The same porch, without the bugs.
An open porch that sits empty all summer can become the room you use most. Screening it in is often simpler than people expect.
The question to sit withIs the porch you have empty because of the bugs?
Shade on the deck you already have.
A deck that's too hot to use in summer can become a porch with the right roof. The question is whether the deck can carry it.
The question to sit withIs the deck empty all summer because of the sun?
More room for the way you use it now.
Many porches were built too small for how families use them today. Adding depth or width can turn a place to pass through into a place to gather.
The question to sit withIs your porch big enough for the way you want to use it?
New boards, a new ceiling.
A new floor and ceiling can make an older porch feel brand new, as long as the framing underneath is sound.
The question to sit withDo you want a floor you'll maintain, or one you'll forget about?
The parts you touch every day.
Worn screens, a wobbly railing or a door that slams can make a good porch feel tired. These are often the simplest upgrades.
The question to sit withWhat's the first thing you notice every time you walk out there?
More months out of the porch.
Motorized screens and clear curtains let you open the porch up or close it in as the weather changes.
The question to sit withWhich months does your porch sit empty now?
What keeps everyone out there longer.
A fan, a heat source and good lighting can turn a porch you use sometimes into one you use every night.
The question to sit withWhat would keep you out there another hour every night?
