New Bedford Porch Replacement

Katie Hutchison Studio

The previous front porch — captured in the “before” photos of the slideshow — was puzzling. The owner of this two-family home in New Bedford wasn’t sure how it had evolved, but both the first- and second-floor porch levels appeared to have been added on top of previous porches, which made for very curious enclosing guardrails. When the owner approached KHS, she was ready to completely remove the haphazard porches and start fresh with something more in keeping with her American Foursquare-style home. The new porches allow more daylight to reach the interior at both levels, while maintaining privacy from the street with guardrails containing paneled piers and tightly spaced balusters. New wide steps that have lower riser heights set the stage for a gracious entry. Since low maintenance materials were a priority for this homeowner, much of the porch is comprised of Azek trim elements. The porch decking is mahogany. New tapered posts and a gently sloped upper-porch roof meet the inset upper-level guardrail in a manner reminiscent of some of the more traditional porch treatments in the neighborhood. Transforming the porches has transformed this home’s curb appeal.

Award-Winning Historic Porch Restoration- Left Angle View

Kraft Custom Construction

When we first saw this 1850's farmhouse, the porch was dangerously fragile and falling apart. It had an unstable foundation; rotting columns, handrails, and stairs; and the ceiling had a sag in it, indicating a potential structural problem. The homeowner's goal was to create a usable outdoor living space, while maintaining and respecting the architectural integrity of the home. We began by shoring up the porch roof structure so we could completely deconstruct the porch itself and what was left of its foundation. From the ground up, we rebuilt the whole structure, reusing as much of the original materials and millwork as possible. Because many of the 170-year-old decorative profiles aren't readily available today, our team of carpenters custom milled the majority of the new corbels, dentil molding, posts, and balusters. The porch was finished with some new lighting, composite decking, and a tongue-and-groove ceiling. The end result is a charming outdoor space for the homeowners to welcome guests, and enjoy the views of the old growth trees surrounding the home.
