Porch Column Installation

What This Service Involves

Columns carry the load of a porch roof while serving as a major architectural feature of your entry. We install structural and decorative columns in wood, fiberglass, and composite, properly anchored and, where needed, wrapped over load-bearing posts. In our climate, we detail bases to keep water from wicking up and rotting the column. Whether replacing failing posts or upgrading the look, we ensure the columns are both sound and beautiful.
