Beautiful Front Deck with Open-Air Covered Porch in Covington, WA – Olympic Decks

Front deck with open-air, covered porch in Covington, WA

In building this deck and covered porch in Covington, WA, Olympic Decks faced several challenges that required innovative solutions and meticulous planning. One of the primary challenges was integrating the new structure with the existing architecture of the home, ensuring that the deck flowed nicely from the indoor spaces to the outdoors. This was especially important as the homeowners wanted the deck to extend their living space, connecting the living room to the front door and main entrance of the home.

One of the primary challenges in this project was the integration of the new structure with the existing home in a way that was both aesthetically pleasing and structurally sound. The house featured unique architectural elements and a specific color scheme that needed to be matched precisely to ensure a cohesive look (especially since it was at the front of the home). Matching the composite decking material to the home’s exterior required careful selection and sourcing of materials.

The construction of the covered porch presented another set of challenges, particularly in ensuring that it provided enough light to keep the space bright and welcoming while still offering adequate protection from the elements. This was achieved by incorporating large windows into the porch design, which required precise framing and installation to maintain the structural integrity of the porch.

Additionally, the sloping of the yard necessitated careful planning regarding the elevation and support of the deck. Ensuring that the deck was level and stable involved extensive groundwork and the installation of a robust foundation that could support the dual structure of the open deck and the covered porch.

The homeowners went for this specific design to enhance their enjoyment of their property. Living in an area with a mix of weather conditions, they wanted a space that could be used year-round. The covered porch allows them to relax outside even during rainy weather, while the open deck is perfect for sunnier days, offering a perfect transition to the yard and play areas for children.

The addition of the deck and covered porch increases the usability of their outdoor space and also adds significant value to their home. It provided an attractive, functional area that could be a focal point for family activities and social events.

Overall, the project required meticulous design and careful material selection to meet the homeowners’ needs and integrate naturally with the existing home structure. Olympic Decks successfully overcame these challenges, delivering a high-quality outdoor living space tailored to the homeowners’ lifestyle and preferences in Convington, WA.
