Has anyone added a porch roof to their house?

How much would you expect to pay for a small porch roof over an entryway? We're pricing options, but it's hard to know if the estimates are reasonable when I just have no idea what's average!

Re: Has anyone added a porch roof to their house?

  • I never have, but if I were to make a guess... I would anticipate something around 2-4k depending upon materials and the effort needed to support the roof and tie it into the structure of the house.
  • We haven't either--but my initial gut reaction was $2500.

  • We are looking into putting one over our (large) deck in the spring - but the hubby will be doing most of the work : ) - one of our neighbors had it priced for thier deck, (almost as big as ours) a few years ago and they said it was around 8K. So 2 - 4K sounds about right.  Good luck!

  • Yeah, this is what I was thinking too, but the one estimate we got is between 7 and 9+K!!
  • Do they have to rip out the existing stoop and replace it because they have to cement in the pillars? If so then I would say $7000 to $9000 is right. It is always more expensive to add structural features later. They are probably also going to have to remove and replace siding to anchor it to the house.
  • No, they'd just be adding fiberglass columns over the existing railing.
