The 7 Steps to Installing a Portico

Here’s a general overview of the steps involved in your Long Island Home extension.

  1. Initial Consultation and Design.
    Your new portico should match the style and materials used in your home’s architecture. This will determine the type of portico roof, columns, and other features like lighting or railing. At this stage we will also acquire all necessary construction permits.
  2. Site Preparation.
    We clear the area, mark the layout, and ensure the foundation is stable and the footings set deep enough to hold the portico structure.
  3. Foundation and Footings.
    We pour concrete footings to provide a solid base for the columns. These footings must cure properly before proceeding to the next step.​
  4. Column Installation. 
    After the footings are set, the columns are installed. Columns can be made from wood, stone, or composite materials. We secure the columns firmly to the footings and check for plumb (vertical alignment).
  5. Framing the Portico Roof.
    We install the beams and rafters that will support the roofing material. Proper framing ensures the portico roof is level and can handle Long Island weather.
  6. Roofing.
    We install roofing material that matches your home. Proper installation is crucial to prevent leaks and ensure longevity.
  7. Finishing Touches.
    We personalize your portico with soffits, fascia, and trim that you choose. We use Azek Trim, the best trim manufacturer in the industry, for all our portico installations.

Frequently Asked Questions About Porticos

A portico is a roof supported by columns or pillars, usually found at the entrance of a building. Porticos give your home a sophisticated appearance and protect your porch from the elements.

Depending on the home’s architectural style, porticos can vary from simple classic styles to more elaborate and intricate structures. Portico installers may use many different materials, including wood, stone, brick, and composite materials.

Adding a portico can enhance your home’s curb appeal, provide protection from the weather, increase the property’s value, and create a more inviting entrance.

Like any exterior structure, porticos require regular maintenance to keep them in good condition. This can include cleaning, painting, and inspecting for any structural issues.

Porticos can have various roof styles, including gabled, hipped, flat, and arched. The choice of roof style often depends on the existing roof design of the house and the homeowner’s preference.
