Frequently Asked Questions About Porches

What is the difference between a screened porch and a three-season room?
A screened porch is a covered structure with mesh screens that allow airflow while keeping insects out. It offers protection from the sun and light rain but is subject to outdoor temperatures. A three-season room, on the other hand, uses a window system (often vinyl or glass) that can be closed to block wind, pollen, and rain. This allows you to use the space comfortably for a longer portion of the year, though it is not typically insulated or heated for winter use like a sunroom.

How do I choose the right style for my home?
Our goal is to make your new porch look like an original part of your home, not an afterthought. We consider your home’s architectural style, rooflines, and exterior materials when designing your project. Whether you have a traditional, modern, or rustic home, we will help you select materials and design elements—such as roof style, column type, and trim details—that seamlessly integrate with your existing aesthetic.

Do I need a building permit for a porch?
Yes, adding a porch involves structural changes to your home and requires a building permit. The specific requirements vary by municipality in Southwest Michigan. As your full-service builder, Archadeck handles the entire permitting process, including drafting plans, submitting applications, and scheduling inspections, so you don't have to worry about the paperwork.

How long does it take to build a custom porch?
The timeline varies based on the complexity of the design, the size of the project, and material availability. Generally, once permitting is complete and construction begins, a porch project can take anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months. We will provide you with a more accurate estimated timeline during your consultation and keep you updated on progress throughout the build.
