• Roof Material & Color: choose from 3-tab shingles, architectural shingles, each in several color options. For a metal shed roof, select either cooper or metal which can be painted in any color you choose.
• Decorative Posts & Columns: can be simple or elaborate, small or large. It all depends on the look you want and what the size of your porch can both visually and structurally accommodate. For some porches, posts or columns are needed for support, and for others they can added for ornamentation.
