“Porch time” is one of the best aspects of living in Northern Illinois & Southern Wisconsin. At Decked Out Builders, we love transforming your outdoor areas into welcoming and dynamic living spaces. A well-designed and beautifully built front or back porch can change the look and feel of your home, add much-needed living space, connect you with your neighbors, and protect you from the elements.
Covered porches not only add architectural beauty to any home, they also serve as highly functional space for your family and friends. Enjoy the outdoors within the comfort of your home.
Ideally you want your newly constructed covered porch to blend with your home. Hiring a professional that can not only take what you have been dreaming of for years and blending it with its existing structure is important. Your covered porch design should be created with the goal of it looking like it was originally built with the house.

We will work with you to design and build the covered porch and outdoor space of your dreams.
Enjoy Your Outdoor Space
As your covered porch builder, we can provide the ultimate outdoor living space for your home and family. When investing in your outdoor living space, it’s important to consider where you will get optimum use. Transforming your existing deck into a covered porch would be ideal if your deck was built to support such an addition. Unfortunately, almost all decks are not designed nor built to support the weight of a roof. Outside of not being able to support the weight of a roof, other obstacles include whether your deck is already the correct size and shape that you would like for your porch to be and whether it is attached to your home, where it is most convenient and usable.
Adding a fireplace to your covered porch will allow even more time outdoors. You might find it enjoyable to host a movie night by your fireplace on crisp evenings. If your family already gets ample use of your backyard, having an open porch is an obvious solution, as there are little or no boundaries between your porch and yard. This might be especially useful for families with pets. Open porches can add value to the way we use our existing outdoor amenities, such as play yards or grilling areas.
