FAQs

What is a covered rear porch?
It’s a roofed outdoor area located at the back of the home, offering shade, protection, and a smooth connection to your backyard.

Can I screen in or enclose the porch later?
Yes. Many plans can be modified or extended to add screens, glass walls, or even convert to a sunroom.

Are covered porches included in the square footage?
Typically no—they’re considered additional living space but not counted in heated square footage.

Do these porches connect to indoor rooms?
Yes—most are accessed via the kitchen, great room, or owner’s suite for easy indoor-outdoor flow.
