Ultimate Porch Design
Bring the Outdoors In
A porch is practical way to add livable space to your home. It is a space that merges the outdoors and the indoors into one room, providing you and your family with a place to enjoy a meal al fresco without the threat of bugs or intense sun. An informal rear porch can give your home a fun, stylish look, while a more formal porch can give your DC home more architectural presence.

At Wentworth, we find the opportunity to design and build the perfect porch for you and your family thrilling. A truly well-designed porch is more than just a deck connected to your DC home. When designing a porch addition, we strive to enhance the home’s architectural integrity. The architectural style of your home will help us determine the best design solution. Whether your home is a Colonial Revival or is more contemporary, every porch addition is considered on a case-by-case basis, and only after a full analysis of your home and the way you live in it, can we be sure we’ve determined the best design for you!
There are no one-size-fits-all porch additions at Wentworth. Each porch should be personal and suited to your lifestyle – whether the screened porch is needed for family gatherings and meals, or you want to give your home architectural character with a covered front entry.

Choosing the Right Materials for Your
Porches tend to be small spaces, and any material used should be high-quality and practical for the type of porch. Because a truly good porch design or porch addition can transform the front façade of a home, it’s more appropriate to utilize high-quality materials, such as brick, flagstone, redwood columns, wrought iron railings, and a cooper-clad roof.
For a more casual rear porch, you have more flexibility. The rear porch can provide the ideal entertainment space in the privacy of your backyard or garden, or it can provide a rustic setting for meals. Here you might choose a wood floor set up on brick piers, a beadboard ceiling, simple post columns, screens to keep out insects, wood railings or even a skylight.
