When you live in a place like Weston, you know that outdoor living doesn’t just mean having a nice deck with a couple of chairs on it. You need place you can really spend time, whether you're hosting quiet dinners, weekend gatherings, or enjoying casual evening beverages, the right porch design can turn a nice house into a gathering place. And with the right partner, the process of getting to the perfect porch can be pain free.
As a trusted Weston porch builder, we’ve spent over 30 years helping homeowners throughout Suburban Boston design porches that fit their architecture, lifestyle, and goals. Here’s how we recommend approaching your porch project if entertaining is part of the plan.
1. Start with a custom design that suits your lifestyle
No two families entertain the same way. That’s why we start with thoughtful planning—not stock templates.
Want a quiet nook for morning coffee and reading? We can design a cozy corner with built-in benches and soft lighting.
Planning to host large family dinners or late-night gatherings? We’ll create a more open layout with room for a dining table, grill zone, and conversation areas.
At Archadeck, our custom designs reflect how you live. We don’t deal in cookie-cutter porches here, instead preferring to make personalized spaces designed to help you enjoy your everyday.
2. Choose premium materials for long-lasting beauty
In a town like Weston, quality matters. As a top-tier Weston porch company, we don’t cut corners on materials or construction.
We work almost exclusively with low-maintenance composites like TimberTech, Deckorators, and AZEK—paired with SCREENEZE for screened-in spaces that stand up to weather without warping or sagging. We also frequently include custom touches like tongue-and-groove wood ceilings or drink rail accents that give the space warmth and polish.
It’s this attention to detail that’s helped us build a reputation for durability, style, and trust over the past three decades.
3. Plan your layout around function and flow
Great porches are designed with intentional flow. This is the principle that allows guests to move comfortably between zones for sitting, dining, cooking, and relaxing.
We’ll help you place your outdoor kitchen, bar, fireplace, or entertainment wall where it makes sense. That way your porch will feel natural to navigate, not crowded or confusing.
4. Extend the season with smart comfort features
Cool nights, early spring mornings, fall afternoons—why cut your porch season short? We frequently build porches with ceiling fans, built-in heaters, and screened windows.
And if you're looking for year-round comfort, we can convert your porch into a sunroom—insulated, enclosed, and designed to give you four-season access to your backyard.
5. Match the design to your home’s architecture
In Weston, where homes range from classic Colonials to modern farmhouses, your porch should look like it was always part of the plan.
We take great care to match trim details, finishes, proportions, and colors to complement your existing architecture—not compete with it.
This is also where custom design really shines. Whether it’s matching shingles, aligning rooflines, or selecting a finish that echoes your siding, we’ll help you achieve a cohesive look you’ll be proud of.
6. Choose a porch builder who handles it all
Permits. Plans. Structural engineering. Build quality. In Weston, you have a lot of factors to juggle when it comes to adding to your home.
When you work with Archadeck of Suburban Boston, you will enjoy the comfort that comes with having a trusted partner who can manage everything from the build process to final inspections. We build to code, on time, and with clear communication every step of the way.
That’s why so many Weston homeowners trust us again and again—not just for porches, but for all kinds of outdoor living spaces, all built to last.
