Materials employed
PRESSURE TREATED WOOD
CEDAR
COMPOSITE
PVC or VINYL
IPE
PRESSURE TREATED WOOD
Pressure-treated wood is an excellent choice for building a porch due to its superior resistance to rot, decay, termites, insects, water damage, and fire. When constructing a porch with pressure-treated wood, it is crucial to ensure that the lumber is adequately sealed to protect it from the elements. The process of treating the lumber may cause it to swell with moisture, so it is important to consider this when planning the size of the porch. Additionally, it is worth noting that the chemicals used in pressure-treated lumber can corrode untreated steel, so it is important to use galvanized fasteners. Average Lifespan 15-20 years.
CEDAR
Cedar wood is a great choice for porch building. It’s naturally beautiful and durable, adding character and visual interest to any porch. Cedar wood is also resistant to moisture, decay, and insects, making it safe and sustainable for outdoor projects. This means less maintenance and a longer lifespan than other woods. Cedar wood is lightweight and easy to work with, allowing for a wide range of porch designs. With its customizable rustic or modern look, cedar is the eco-friendly choice for your porch project. Average Lifespan 15-20 years.
COMPOSITE
Composite materials can be a great choice for giving your porch a long-lasting and durable finish. These materials are typically made from a blend of recycled plastic and wood fibers, which makes them resistant to rot, mold, and insect damage. Additionally, they come in a variety of colors and styles, so you can choose one that perfectly complements the look of your home. You can also rest easy knowing that composite materials are low-maintenance and easy to clean, making them ideal for homeowners with busy schedules who still want a beautiful outdoor space. With a composite finish for your porch, you can relax and enjoy your outdoor space for years to come. Average Lifespan 20-25 years.
PVC or VINYL
PVC, also known as vinyl, is an excellent choice for porch construction. Not only is it durable and long-lasting, but it also offers several unique benefits. Unlike wood, PVC is resistant to rotting, warping, and insect damage. This means that you can enjoy your porch for years to come without having to worry about maintenance or repairs. Additionally, PVC is available in a variety of colors and styles, so you can customize your porch to your liking. Overall, PVC is an excellent choice that provides both practicality and aesthetic appeal for your porch.Average life span is 25-35 years.
IPE
IPE is a durable and strong hardwood that is often used for porch flooring due to its resistance to rot, insects, and decay. Its unique texture and rich, dark color give it an elegant look. Although installation can be challenging due to its density, when installed properly, IPE can last for decades, making it a long-term investment. Overall, IPE is a practical and attractive option for any homeowner looking to enhance their outdoor living space. Average Lifespan last up to 75 years.

HOW DO WE CALCULATE CONSTRUCTION COSTS?
If you decide to commission us to build a front porch, deck, terrace, or any other structure, you likely have questions about the pricing. Since we are a custom porch builder, we price our building projects depending on the individual needs of our customers. In a free consultation, we’ll work together with you to determine how much your porch will cost.
Factors such as the materials used, the area covered, and design complexity all impact our price.
We will also take into account:
- Porch Foundation
- Porch Structural Frame
- Stairs
- Railing Availability
- Flooring
- Finish
- Electricity
- Waterproofing
- Animal Protection
Don’t Forget a Building Permit
When looking into all the various porch builders Toronto has, you’ll notice they all ask for the same thing: a building permit. This is because you legally require this document to build on your property. So, before our front porch builders can get started, you’ll need to:
- Check building legislature and property zoning. Before we can start building, you must make sure your design is in compliance with Toronto’s local building laws. Speak with the local building department for more information.
- Produce design drawings for your patio. You may create these drawings yourself. Alternatively, you can hire an artist. Either way, you must have detailed design drawings prepared for your application.
- Gather any necessary paperwork. At this time, you should see whether or not you have to pay any fees. With that done, you’re ready to go!
