Facts to Know About Screen Porch Builder in Virginia

porche
John Cvetkovic asked:


More and more people currently find the idea of installing porches in their homes most appealing. Since we live in times when people no longer have time to spend with their families as they once used to, a Virginia deck could be a wonderful idea to gather family and friends around in the evenings for a nice chat and perhaps for dinner.

There are currently many designs of porches that you need to choose from at the time you decide to build one for your home. With a porch you will be able to bring the outdoors into your home. It is better than stay in your courtyard, because the breeze will be able to enter the space, but all the unwanted bugs will remain outside.

When you decide that you want a porch, you need to consider the possibility of hiring a screen porch builder in Virginia. It is a very common thing for people to hire this type of contractors for a Virginia deck for the reason that you will have absolutely no personal worries about the building process.

The screen porch builder in Virginia will definitely take care of everything that is required for the building of your new porch. You need to make sure that you select the perfect provider that will be able to help you at tall times with any details that you want to include in your project. You should go for the recommendations of your friends and neighbors when it comes to selecting your screen porch builder in Virginia. Thus, you will be sure that the project will be ready on time and accordingly to your needs.

The porch represents an extension to your home and thus you will need legal approval in order to get it done. If you hire a screen porch builder in Virginia, you can forget about going yourself to resolve the issues related to the paperwork. The contractors will do this for you, as well as resolving the issues that are related to purchasing the needed materials at the best prices.

You should also consider the references of the screen porch builder in Virginia at the time you hire it. Make sure that you see some samples of their previous work and chat with them before signing the contract about all the issues that concern you. All the details of your Virginia deck or porch need to be discussed in advance and all of them will need to be present in the written form of your contract. In case you are not sure about contracts, you could seek help from a lawyer before signing it.

One more thing that you will need to do without the help of the contractors will be to decorate your new porch with the proper furniture, lightning and all other decorations. Of course, if you are not sure how you need to do this, you can always seek advice from your screen porch builder in Virginia or look over the decorations magazines that offer this type of information.

Porch Swings Come in a Variety of Styles and Materials, Which One is Best for You?

porche
MJ Marks asked:


Traditionally, when I think of porch swings, I think of a wooden bench seat hanging by rope or chain on a covered porch, something traditionally American. But porch swings are not limited anymore to a wooden bench that comfortably seats two adults, but are available in a variety of sizes, styles and materials.

Besides the traditional style of porch swings, there are many people who would like to enjoy sitting on a swing on a lazy summer day sipping lemonade, but do not have anywhere to hang one. But there has long been an answer to this dilemma with covered canopy swings. These are often seen in gardens and on patios. My in-laws have one in their garden where they like to sit together or with grandchildren to watch their waterfall. I am sure that you have seen these before, they are often made of metal with a colorful fabric cushioned cover that can easily be removed and washed. The swing hangs from from a metal frame which has a matching shade cover. So, you kind of get the swing and the covered porch all in one!

I have also seen some really nice wood, free hanging porch swings. Sometimes these are painted, a nice antique white finish gives your garden a quaint victorian feel. This is further accentuated by their frame. Sometimes these porch swings have a basic A-frame, other times the frame is an arbor style. These are sometimes called cottage swings. The look of these are more romantic and classic than the metal canopy swings.

In today’s eco friendly world, you should not be too surprised that you can find porch swings made out of recycled plastic. From a distance they often look like wood, minus the potential for slivers! You can get ones that hang from a chain on your porch, or one that comes with its own steel frame.

You can also get swings that are made of cotton or other type fabric. The most popular style of these are hammock type chairs, and often designed only for one person. These seem quite comfortable, though some look a little tricky for getting in and out!

Another popular material for porches and gardens is wicker, and in a small town, wicker is hard to find. Thank goodness for online shopping! Wicker makes for a very nice porch swing, most of these that I have seen come with a chain or rope for traditional hanging. These also come in a variety of colors, though white seems to be post popular for outdoor furniture.

If you decide that you do want a traditional wood porch swing, make sure you check out all of your wood options before buying. Cedar starts out with a fresh finish, but within a few years ages to gray, great for a coastal home! A teak wood will keep its natural finish for a long time. For a lighter natural finish, cypress is a good option. Many other woods can be found also, such as oak and maple, though they need to have proper treatment to last.

Another version of a swing that can be found is the glider bench. Benches can be found in a variety of styles, colors and materials. This is another great option if you do not have a place to hang a swing, or want one out in the garden. The footprint is smaller than a canopy swing or other hanging styles, which sometimes is a great benefit. This style obviously does not have a shade cover, but they fit great under a large shade tree!

Porch swings can also come in many styles, something to please anybody. The Adirondack style is very popular today, especially known for its comfort. Another popular furniture style today in many homes is Mission style, and this translates very nicely to porch swings. Some other styles I have seen are Savannah and Nautical, as well as Chippendale, French country, fan back, and Nantucket.

Well, as you can see, there is a large variety of porch swings available, so with a little looking around, you should find one that will fit your personal needs perfectly!

Front Porch Tin Shingles: Four Solutions

porche
Miriam Cunningham asked:


Owners of vintage homes usually want to preserve their embossed tin shingle roofs. Unfortunately there are no readily available metal shingles that will match the size, texture and shadowing of the embossed tin shingles dating from 1870 to 1930. But there are resolutions that can meet budget constraints as well as appearance expectations.

For these owners of homes with embossed metal shingles, the porch is usually the most challenging. The porch area tends to be the most trampled. Understandably, painters have placed ladders on the shingles. Or children have played on them. As a result, damaged porch tin shingles are a common occurrence.

When maintenance is due on metal shingle roofs, the porch roof may be handled differently than upper roofs because of excessive damage.

Here are four solutions:

1. Cover the porch roof with the fully reinforced restoration system



This solution is not often used, but as the Washington, DC, owner in the case study described below will attest, this solution is a good one to know about.

2. The use of the standing seam panels has been a popular choice for a porch roof.



The reasons are obvious: Both standing seam and shingles are traditional metal styles of roofing. Also, with the traditional standing seam panels, the metal shingles complement each other quite attractively. The cost of this approach is less expensive than new metal shingles.  Note: new metal shingles are a possibility, but proceed carefully.

3. Coat existing modern asphalt shingles.



If modern asphalt shingles have already been installed as a solution, every owner will agree the overall house appearance is usually undesirable. On these porches, where tin shingles are visible on other roofs, the least expensive approach may be to coat the porch asphalt shingles with the same acrylic tint as the rest of the metal tin shingles. To the eye, the color ties in the different roofs.

4. Another inexpensive approach is to install a smooth, rolled roofing installation.



Then coat the rubber or mineral surface roofing with the same acrylic color that has been applied to the embossed tin shingles of the upper roofing areas. One customer coated her porch roof with an acrylic tint that accented the trim of her stone house. Another customer coated his porch shingles to buy him time to focus on more expensive renovations.

Case history: Owner balances her options

For example, an historical district owner faced a real dilemma. The enclosed porch roof area leaked into her living room. The local historical society flatly rejected any plan to replace the roof unless the same metal shingles were used. Her budget could not afford to replace with new shingles at this point.

In this situation, the owner had to balance her priorities between satisfactory appearance, performance and budget.

Her strategy was to opt for

1) stopping the leakage into her living room and

2) avoiding a conflict with the local historical society.

To accomplish this decision, the fully reinforced system with restoration green acrylic was applied. This system consists of four layers of acrylic with mesh between two of the coating layers.

For this situation at that particular time, the approach made sense. From the driveway, the porch roof surface looks presentable. Since the back door is the main entrance, the appearance issue seemed resolved for the roof surface. Incidentally, the leakage situation was solved.

See the photos illustrating this case study at shingle porch in Washington, DC..

In conclusion, usually there are several alternatives to resolving problems with vintage metal roofing.

Fix Up Your Porch

porche
Kurt J Schefken asked:


Remodeling porches can create great benefits for your home. This example from http://DoItYourself.com shows that you can make more of your outdoors with these fresh-as-air ideas that use paint, stain, and basic carpentry skills to spruce up a plain backyard. Mosquitoes, plus the desire to enjoy spring, summer, and fall relaxing outside, prompted the owners of an Atlanta, Georgia home to transform their back porch from a concrete slab to a screened-in showcase. The decision was simple; the solution wasn’t quite so easy.

Though they knew they wanted to screen the existing back patio — a square of concrete tucked under a roof overhang — complications arose. The porch needed to blend in with the existing house and still withstand the local insects, high humidity, and scorching summer temperatures. The concrete slab had a slight drop for rain runoff, so the homeowners had to trim the inside of the frame to fit that slope.

Here?s a step-by-step of what they did:

1. Cut the paneling. Pre-primed 4×8-foot sheets of beadboard ceiling paneling are cut to fit.

2. Install the ceiling panels and fan. A nail gun makes quick work of installing ceiling panels and is easier than holding a panel while swinging a hammer. Before all of the paneling is installed, the ceiling is wired for a fan and light. The fan enables the homeowners to keep their porch 8 to 10 degrees cooler than the outdoors, while the light allows the porch to be used at night. One person held the fan while the other connected the wires then screwed the fan into place. The ceiling’s finish trim hides the seams in the paneling.

3. Frame the porch. The 2×4 frame of the homeowners’ porch was sized to fit the standard-width screens that were installed later. Crosspieces can be either nailed directly through the vertical braces or toenailed in place.

4. Attach interior paneling. A staple gun secures the interior pine-and-plywood beadboard paneling. Though the panels are level across the top, they had to be trimmed at the bottom to follow the uneven concrete floor, which slopes to accommodate rain runoff.

5. Attach and level exterior paneling. The hardboard exterior panels are added one at a time, from the bottom up. The builders custom-cut the first one to follow the bumpy ground line. It took some practice tries to get the paint the same tone of pale yellow as the weathered version on the house. The weather-resistant exterior paint requires only a washing with soap and water to maintain its color.

6. Finish off the screen. Vinyl grids are screwed directly into the wooden frame. The screens attach to the channels in these grids, creating a stapleless installation for fiberglass or aluminum screens. Once the screens are rolled into the grid channels using a spline, excess screen is simply trimmed off. A mallet snaps the caps over the vinyl channels and locks the screens in place.
