Victoria Renovations recently completed a beautiful porch remodel for the Watts family in Duluth, GA. This project exemplifies our commitment to craftsmanship, attention to detail, and dedication to meeting client needs in every aspect of a renovation. Working in an occupied home and prioritizing dust-free practices, we transformed the outdoor living area into a stunning, functional space with a modern, elegant feel.
Project Overview
The Watts family wanted to revamp their existing porch and front entry to create a more inviting space, both aesthetically pleasing and functional for their outdoor enjoyment. The goal was to enhance the home’s curb appeal, modernize the porch, and add thoughtful features that improve functionality while maintaining harmony with the existing architecture. Our team executed the work with precision, making sure every detail was tailored to the client’s needs.
Materials and Finishes
To achieve the desired outcome, we employed high-quality materials that are both durable and visually striking. The deck boards were made from TimberTech Natural White Oak Composite, a highly resilient material that resists wear and tear while mimicking the beauty of real wood. This material was installed using hidden fasteners to create a seamless, clean finish that enhances the porch’s overall elegance.
A major highlight of this remodel was the installation of a 60” Lanai linear outdoor fireplace, which serves as both a focal point and a functional feature, extending the use of the porch into the cooler months. The fireplace is framed with white natural tile that surrounds the structure, lending a sleek, modern edge to the design.
The front stoop was upgraded using Eldorado cut stone, providing a timeless and sophisticated appearance. This stonework complemented the leuters bluff stone top, tying together the entire outdoor space with natural textures and earth tones.
Structural Enhancements
Victoria Renovations handled several structural modifications to enhance both the safety and appearance of the porch. The team installed Trex glass panels and a drink rail, providing a modern and clear view while ensuring safety and comfort. These glass panels blend seamlessly with the overall design, allowing the beauty of the outdoor surroundings to remain the focal point.
At the homeowner’s request, a temporary safety ramp was installed during the construction process, ensuring safe use of the space for the beloved family dog while the remodel was in progress. This focus on safety was a priority, particularly since the Watts family remained in the home during the renovation—a testament to our occupied remodeling expertise.
Lighting and Ceiling Design
Lighting is essential for both ambiance and functionality, and this project didn’t disappoint. We installed recessed LED lights to create a soft, welcoming glow in the evening, allowing the space to be enjoyed both day and night. The coffered ceiling, crafted from exterior-grade gypsum material, added architectural interest while providing durability against outdoor elements. This feature not only enhanced the beauty of the space but also added depth and character to the porch.
For additional accent lighting, we included step lights in the stairs, providing safety and a modern, polished look that enhances both nighttime use and visual appeal.
Final Touches
The finishing touches truly brought this project together. We meticulously stained and painted the new railings and trim, ensuring that every detail was cohesive with the rest of the house. The custom double front doors provided by the homeowner were installed to complete the entry transformation, giving the front of the house a grand yet inviting look.
Client Satisfaction
The Watts family was thrilled with the outcome of their porch remodel. The project not only enhanced their home’s value but also gave them a space they can enjoy for years to come. From relaxing evenings by the fireplace to hosting gatherings on their spacious, beautifully designed porch, the Watts family now has an outdoor area that perfectly fits their lifestyle and aesthetic preferences.
