Porch Projects We Build in Greeley
- New front porches — concrete or framed decks with steps, railings and lighting, sized to fit the home rather than bolted on as an afterthought.
- Covered porches — gable, hip or shed roofs tied into the existing roofline with proper flashing, sized for Colorado snow loads.
- Porch rebuilds and repairs — rotted joists, settled footings, failing columns and loose railings on older Greeley homes near downtown and the University District.
- Screened and three-season porches — bug-free evenings without the cost of a full addition.
- Back porches and stoops — smaller entries done right, with code-compliant stairs and handrails.
Building a Porch That Lasts in Weld County Weather
Greeley sees big temperature swings, spring hail, wind off the plains, and freeze-thaw cycles all winter. Porches fail here for predictable reasons: footings that are too shallow and heave, ledger boards that were never flashed, and porch roofs that were not tied into the house correctly. We dig footings below frost depth, flash every ledger and roof-to-wall joint, and specify materials — composite or PVC decking, treated framing, aluminum or composite railings — that hold up to UV at altitude.
“Most porch problems I get called to fix in Greeley come down to water and frost. Get the footings and the flashing right and a porch will outlast the house paint by decades.”

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a new porch cost in Greeley, CO?
It depends on size, whether the porch is covered, decking material and railing style. A small uncovered entry porch costs far less than a covered porch with a roof tie-in. We provide a fixed-price written bid after a free on-site visit so you know the exact number before work starts.
Do I need a permit to build a porch in Greeley?
Most porches that are attached to the house, covered by a roof, or more than 30 inches above grade require a building permit. Josh Brooks Construction and Renovation Inc. determines permit requirements for your project and pulls the permit and schedules inspections for you.
How long does it take to build a porch?
Most new porches take one to three weeks of construction once permits and materials are in hand. Covered porches with a roof tie-in take longer than uncovered entry porches.
Can you repair or rebuild my existing porch instead of replacing it?
Yes. If the footings and main framing are sound we can often replace decking, railings, columns and trim. If the structure has rot or has heaved, we will show you what we found and quote a rebuild.
What decking material is best for a Greeley porch?
Composite and PVC decking resist rot, splintering and UV fading and need little maintenance in the Colorado climate. Cedar and treated wood cost less up front but need regular sealing or staining.
