Some of our most lasting and enduring memories take shape on the familiar porch of the family home. These friendly facades have welcomed smiling faces from the neighbor next door and the distant cousin from California. They’ve greeted antsy salesmen and nervous boyfriends looking to make a good first impression when they meet their gal’s dad for senior prom. Countless youthful misadventures have even ended with a few edifying lectures from the old man on your home’s forward-facing fixture. The family porch gave you a front-row seat to thousands of sunsets, and even an inconspicuous stoop while eavesdropping on the town gossip. Everyone has a place on your home’s porch. It’s the gateway to your home, so it needs to make a good first impression. So why not let Harmony Timberworks perfect your home’s egress with a transitional and traditional archway to your home’s friendlier confines?

Adding Value to Your Home’s Illustrious Charm

Curb appeal is everything in real estate. Who wants a run-of-the-mill cookie cutter home that doesn’t stand out? Not every house needs to be included on this year’s run of the Parade of Homes, but getting noticed every now and then with a welcomed compliment can go a long way in fostering pride for your lovely home, which is equity that a bank could never assign value to. Even if you’re not looking to sell your home in the near future, you want to take care of the family home, so you can pass it down to your children and grandchildren one day. Instilling lasting values of craftsmanship and homeownership today can be one day passed down to their future progeny from the comfort of that same splendid porch you so keenly added on all those years ago. Harmony Timberworks wants to help you craft a lasting legacy.

There’s just something about the satisfaction of a job well-done that cannot be triumphed over. Even if you didn’t pick up the hammer and nails yourself, having the creative vision to so keenly add a complementary porch can become the envy of the entire neighborhood. And it’s not just your friends and neighbors who enjoy the lasting impression of a fresh wood-hewn and bronze stained porch. After all, this porch was built with your hard-earned money and foresight. Who better to enjoy it? As you sip your favorite craft lager or chosen vintage of merlot this fall from your beautifully crafted timber porch, remember who made all this possible.

Front Porch Features

As you might have guessed it, our latest completed project features a front porch addition. Crafted to complement existing structure, our architects and engineers carefully designed a timber frame porch system that accentuated the house without detracting from its intrinsic charm. Comprised of green lumber, the western red cedar porch system was assembled in timely fashion with minimal disturbance to the property. But this beautiful structure’s true strength comes from the sturdy foundation that it supports and the universal principle’s of the arch itself that ensures this porch will last for decades to come. Well placed footers precisely measured at exact intervals guarantees ample weight distribution to eradicate the chances of premature wear and sagging.

This customer’s new porch, which is featured prominently at the top of this article, is also fixed with wrought iron decorative trusses to add a personalized porch to an already unique looking design. Upon completion, you too can add some personal decorations and patio furniture to make the porch yours. Just like how people say a house is just a building without people and fixtures that reflect their personality, the same can be said about the porch. What greater extension of your home than a beautiful western red cedar porch? While you may want to keep prying eyes away from the intimacy of your home, a porch is a subtle way to show off a bit of your home’s zest and home without inviting the whole neighborhood in.
