The scope of work includes: Demolition and Structural Reinforcement: The existing porch will be demolished to allow for essential structural improvements. A new reinforcement footing will be constructed along the front edge of the existing porch area to stabilize the foundation and adequately support the new structure's load. Porch Rebuild and Enclosure: The rebuilt structure will be positioned in alignment with the previous porch area. The new framework will incorporate updated wood framing designed to enhance structural integrity and provide improved stability. The porch will be enclosed using treated wood framing, screen panels, and door(s) to create a durable and functional space. Roofing and Ceiling Enhancements: A new roof structure will be constructed to improve weather resistance. The interior ceiling will feature shiplap paneling for improved aesthetics and durability. Electrical Improvements: The project includes the installation of 2 additional recessed lights (there will be 4 total) and the relocation of two ceiling fans for improved lighting and ventilation. Finishing Details: Minor gutter adjustments will be performed to ensure proper drainage. Outdoor ceramic tile will be installed to provide a durable and visually appealing porch floor. This project is intended to improve the structural stability, safety, and functionality of the existing porch while remaining within the original footprint. The reinforcement footing is strictly for structural support and does not extend the porch's foundation/size beyond its previous dimensions.
