Porches & Decks in Connecticut

Porches and decks, framed to last

A porch or deck lives outside all year. Rain, snow, freeze and thaw find every shortcut in the framing, which is why the part you never see matters most. Elite Framing and Roofing frames porches and decks the same way we frame houses: solid footings, a properly attached ledger, and framing that stays level and stiff for years.

Porches

Many Connecticut homes, especially older colonials and Victorians, were built around a front porch. We frame new porches onto existing houses, rebuild worn-out ones, and frame covered porches with a roof tied into the house. Because we also do roof framing and roofing, the porch roof can be framed, sheathed and shingled to match the house.

Decks

• Deck framing: pressure-treated posts, beams and joists on footings, with the ledger flashed where it meets the house.
• Trex composite decking: low-maintenance boards that do not need staining, or traditional wood decking if you prefer.
• Stairs and landings: built to code, with solid stringers.
• Railings: clean white railings or a style to match the house.

One contractor for the house and the deck

Adding a deck often means a new door to reach it. We frame the opening and install the exterior door, then build the deck outside it. Building an addition? We can frame the deck or porch as part of the same project. You deal with Menachem directly, from the first visit to the final walkthrough.
