We are highly pleased with their professionalism, in every way! **★★★★★ — sashalouthan, May 2024** > We had a portico put on the front of the house. It is so beautiful! Georgia Front Porch listened and built exactly what I asked for. They were professional, knowledgeable and very skilled. I would highly recommend them. I am thrilled with the outcome! **★★★★★ — Jesse Murph, May 2018** > The guys at Georgia Front Porch are wonderful! David Day and Wesley Kent were always on time and were prepared to install the portico's. They added a portico's over our front and basement door. We have received many compliments on these additions. Extremely happy with this company. **★★★★ — Marie Williams, March 2016** > We hired Georgia Front Porch based on the recommendation of a neighbor. We found that GFP was easy to work with but the responsiveness of our project manager was a little slow. Their contractors were talented and personable. David took my ideas and made them happen. I love the final product. I will use them in the future should the need arise and highly recommend their work to anyone. **★★★★★ — mmmoses9, Nov. 2015** > Georgia Frontporch built a portico on the front of my home. Gary from Frontporch designed both the portico and a porch that would run along the front of the house. I ultimately decided on the portico design Work included a new stoop made with paver stone that extended into a new sidewalk that went to the driveway. The crew that built the stoop, steps, and sidewalk were very thorough craftsmen. They had a good eye for what would look right for my home. After they finished the painters built out the portico. I wanted rails on both sides of they steps; they crafted them to look right with the design. The porch is painted white. I love the new cover my neighbors continue to compliment me. The highest one that I received is that the portico looks like it was built with the house since the beginning. Not just added on. **★★★★★ — bmedwed, Nov. 2015** > From start to finish both my wife and I were very impressed with everyone at Georgia Front Porch. The quoting process went smoothly and the pictures provided as to how our home would look with the portico really impressed us. > The choices provided to us enabled my wife to pick out exactly the look she wanted. **★★★★★ — Beth Ehle, March 2015** > Very professional organization all around. Expectations were clear and the work was done well and on time. Office staff, salesperson, and construction team were all quality human beings that cared about delivering an exceptional product. **★★★★★ — sunnysell985, March 2015** > I now have a portico over my front door to keep me dry when I come home in the rain, and it adds character to the outside of my house. The company did a great job and I would hire them again if I ever decide on building a front porch. ## Selected projects - [Front Porches](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/front-porches-pj-vj~372214) - Location: Cumming, GA - Photos: 37 - Description: A new front porch can dramatically improve the curb appeal of your home.

A portico can help provide optimal protection for your guests, front entry and even your foyer. Doors, hardware and trim that are exposed to the weather eventually succumb to splintering, rotting, fading and more. Covering the entrance with a portico can substantially reduce and even eliminate those headaches. It’s a convenient amenity to protect guests on th… - [Garage Porticos](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/garage-porticos-pj-vj~573920) - Location: Cumming, GA - Photos: 20 - Description: Garage porticoes with solid roofs supported by brackets help protect your garage doors and add unique curb appeal. - [Side and Back Door Porticos](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/side-and-back-door-porticos-pj-vj~741851) - Location: Cumming, GA - Photos: 10 - Description: It's not just your front door that feels the deteriorating effects of sun, rain and ice. Georgia Front Porch also designs and builds coverings for side doors, back doors -- even garages. Protect your trim, flooring and woodwork in other entry areas of your home with a handsome portico. If you are working with a tight budget and/or small stoop, consider a bracket portico. - [Bracket Porticos](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bracket-porticos-pj-vj~574439) - Location: Cumming, GA - Photos: 5 - Description: When budgets are tight and stoops are restricted, a bracket portico can be a smart option. Please keep in mind that while most front stoops are approximately 5 feet wide, bracket porticos measure around 3.5 feet — so they won’t cover the whole stoop. But if your front entry is narrow and you own a wood- or aluminum-sided home, a bracket portico may be the perfect solution for protecting wood, trim, visitors and packages. Because we use load-bearing brackets, the design must be somewhat shallow.… - [Ranch Porch Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ranch-porch-addition-pj-vj~1352485) - Location: Cumming, GA - Photos: 3 - Description: Traditional brick ranch gets a major makeover with an expansive front porch featuring tapered columns and brick piers. - [Round Portico Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/round-portico-addition-pj-vj~1352487) - Location: Cumming, GA - Photos: 3 - Description: A traditional favorite with classic roots, a round portico creates a very elegant statement and welcoming visage. - [Tudor Front Porch Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tudor-front-porch-addition-pj-vj~1352480) - Location: Cumming, GA - Photos: 2 - Description: Front porch designed and built by Georgia Front Porch, featuring stone piers and columns. - [Two Column Arched Portico with Steel Roof (Alpharetta, GA)](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/two-column-arched-portico-with-steel-roof-alpharetta-ga-pj-vj~1352282) - Location: Cumming, GA - Photos: 2 - Description: A contemporary portico with a graceful arched steel roof -- very popular! - [Two Column Arched Portico with Steel Roof (Dunwoody, GA)](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/two-column-arched-portico-with-steel-roof-dunwoody-ga-pj-vj~1352284) - Location: Cumming, GA - Photos: 2 - Description: A contemporary portico with a graceful arched roof over a double door entry. - [Grand 2 Column Arched Portico](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/grand-2-column-arched-portico-pj-vj~1352276) - Location: Cumming, GA - Photos: 6 - Description: Larger in scale than traditional porticoes, these designs feature unique detailing and helps amplify curb appeal by focusing in on the grand entry. - [Two column arched portico with gable roof located in Marietta, GA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/two-column-arched-portico-with-gable-roof-located-in-marietta-ga-pj-vj~1352275) - Location: Cumming, GA - Photos: 4 - Description: Gable portico with arched bead board ceilings.
