Portico & Entry Column Contractors in Suffolk County, NY

A portico gives your front door a roof, a place to stand out of the rain, and a finished look from the street. We build new porticos and rebuild tired ones on capes, colonials, ranches and split-levels across Suffolk County.

Because we also do siding and roofing, we tie the portico into the house properly: flashing where it meets the wall, matching roofing on top, and trim and columns that suit the rest of the exterior. It's often done alongside a siding job, but we handle porticos on their own too.

Is a Portico Right for Your Entry?

Most homeowners call us because the front door has no cover, an old overhang is sagging or rotting, or the entry looks plain next to new siding. We look at the door, steps and roofline and talk through what will fit.

  • No cover over the front door, so rain and snow land on the step
  • An existing overhang that sags, leaks or shows rotted wood
  • Columns that are cracked, split or pulling away
  • Planning new siding and want the entry to match
  • Want more curb appeal from the street

Your Options

Flat-roof portico

A low, clean overhang that suits ranches and split-levels with limited height above the door.

Gable portico

A peaked roof over the entry that adds height and matches the main roofline on colonials and capes.

Arched or curved portico

A softer curved front for homes where you want the entry to stand out a little more.

Column replacement

New columns or wrapped posts in place of cracked or rotted ones, including stone-wrapped bases.

Portico rebuild

Removing a failing overhang and building a new one, with proper flashing into the wall.

What Affects the Price of a Portico
