ADD STYLE & FUNCTIONALITY WITH CUSTOM PORTICOS & ENTRANCEWAYS
A portico is a small porch roof built over a front entry door. Porticoes are both useful and decorative. They shelter people entering a house from sun and rain, but also provide an attractive and often elegant feature to an otherwise bland house front. They are common on Colonial houses, a common style in Northern Virginia and the Metro DC area.

Colonial Remodeling LLC’s team of experts design and custom-build porticos to enhance the curb appeal and utility of your home.
