Front Portico in Laurel, MD

Our clients came to us looking to update the look of the front of their house. They decided that the addition of a portico would be just what their home needed to give it a fresh new look.

The family owned a traditional style home and wanted elements that were keeping with that particular style. Above the front door, at the top of the portico, they added a railing that fit right in with the style the home already had. The new railing framed the beautiful arched transom window they had above their front door. They also wanted large columns for a grand and opulent look. The portico was all white and really stood out amongst the brick exterior of the home.

For the porch below the portico and for the walkway we installed beautiful bluestone pavers that were keeping with the style of the home; and also offset the blue shutters the family already had. As the final touch the family switched out their old blue door for a beautiful wooden door with decorative glass. It was the perfect addition to this upgrade that punched up the look of the home.

Now that the family’s home has a ton of curb appeal they are in love with the look of their home. They said, “The front porch set our home off. We wish we did this project 15 years ago!”
