In Florida, Porches Add Year Round Living Space

Since porches and decks can be used year round, in Florida they add lasting value to homes. Raised floor homes are ideal for porches and decks. Raised off the ground, they add beautiful and practical space for living and entertaining.

The New Florida Home has a wrap-around front porch as well as a screened back porch. Framed out of pressured treated lumber the porches are designed to last a lifetime. Both the front and back porches are covered with tile laid over pressure treated plywood. This money saving application eliminates the need to build stem walls, backfill and then pour a concrete sub-surface.
