Custom Porches: The Welcoming Heart of Your Home
A porch is a hallmark of Southern living—a timeless space that blends the comfort of the indoors with the pleasure of being outside. It’s the perfect spot for a rocking chair, a cool glass of sweet tea, and connecting with family and neighbors. Here in the Rio Grande Valley, a custom-built porch is more than an architectural feature; it’s an essential retreat, providing crucial shade and a cool breeze on a hot Texas afternoon. At Guerrero Fences, we specialize in designing and building beautiful, functional porches that serve as a natural and inviting extension of your home. ☕
More Than Just an Entryway
A professionally built porch enhances your home and lifestyle in numerous ways. First and foremost, it creates a comfortable, shaded outdoor living area, allowing you to enjoy the outdoors even during the warmest parts of the day. A well-designed front porch dramatically boosts your home’s curb appeal, creating a warm and welcoming first impression that adds significant property value. Furthermore, a covered porch helps protect your home’s entryway, doors, and windows from the harsh sun and rain, preserving them for years to come.
Design & Material Options for the RGV
We build custom porches that are designed to look as if they were always part of your home. We work with you to select the perfect materials and design elements to match your home’s unique style.
Foundation & Decking: We can build your porch floor with classic pressure-treated pine, premium cedar, or zero-maintenance composite decking. We also build covered patios over new or existing concrete slabs.
Roof & Ceiling: We design the roof structure to tie in seamlessly with your home’s existing roofline. For the ceiling, we can install beautiful finishes like classic beadboard for a traditional Southern look.
Columns & Railings: From sturdy wood posts to elegant wrapped columns and custom railing systems, these architectural elements are key to defining your porch’s character.
Elevate Your Porch with Custom Features
Transform a simple porch into your favorite room with our custom feature options. One of the most popular additions in the Rio Grande Valley is a screened-in porch. Screening in your space allows you to enjoy the breeze day and night without worrying about mosquitoes or other pests. We can also enhance your porch with:
Outdoor-Rated Ceiling Fans for a constant, cooling breeze.
Recessed Lighting or Decorative Fixtures for evening ambiance.
Electrical Outlets for convenience and holiday decorations.
