Sandy Springs Porch Addition

The project located in Sandy Springs includes the demolition of the existing deck and the construction of a custom screened porch with adjoining side decks, creating a cohesive outdoor living environment designed for year-round enjoyment. The new porch will feature a durable structural system, composite decking, a roof integrated with the existing home, and thoughtfully selected architectural finishes that complement the residence. Screened openings, integrated lighting, a ceiling fan, decorative sconces, gas service for a grill, and premium iron railings will enhance both functionality and comfort, while the expanded side decks will provide additional outdoor living space with low-maintenance materials and a seamless connection to the new porch.
