Portico

12 years ago

I LOVE the open fan light woodwork in this portico - is this a very costly or difficult element to add? We are renovating our suburban colonial and would love to get this look! Thanks

Hi and thank you for your kind comments! The portico here was custom designed by our firm. Cost for something like this will depend on the complexity of the design. Good luck with your renovation.
