Project Journey

Robert B | A Porch Addition Above the Garage

We transformed the garage area into a functional porch, managing every step from permits to final inspection. Our team handled framing, concrete, roofing, electrical work, and custom screening and lighting to create a space perfect for year-round use.

At DMV General Contracting Group, we take pride in transforming our clients’ visions into practical, beautifully finished spaces. Robert Bean, a homeowner on Turner Ln., approached us with a clear goal: maximize unused space above his existing garage by creating a versatile, elevated porch for relaxing and entertaining. We took the project from idea to reality — handling every step from permits to final inspection.

Our Scope of Work:

Permits & Planning:

We kicked off the project by securing all necessary building permits and ensuring architectural plans complied fully with local codes and HOA guidelines. This early attention to detail laid the groundwork for a smooth build process.

Structural Framing:

Our skilled team constructed a robust and safe structural framework for the porch, carefully integrating it with the existing garage to ensure long-term durability and aesthetic continuity.

Concrete Foundation:

We poured and finished a solid concrete base, giving the space a strong and stable surface that will last for years to come.

Roofing & Ceiling:

To make the porch usable in all seasons, we installed a custom-designed roof and ceiling, blending seamlessly with the home’s exterior while providing protection from the elements.

Screened Enclosure:

For added comfort, we enclosed the space with high-quality screens — allowing the homeowner to enjoy fresh air without the nuisance of insects or debris, whether spring or fall.

Electrical & Lighting:

Our licensed electricians wired the entire porch and installed elegant light fixtures, ensuring the space is both functional and inviting — perfect for everything from quiet mornings to lively evening gatherings.

Final result: Robert’s new elevated porch is a versatile extension of his home — blending comfort, craftsmanship, and curb appeal. It’s a perfect space for hosting friends, enjoying a cup of coffee, or simply relaxing outdoors, all while maximizing previously unused space.

At DMV General Contracting Group, projects like this reflect our commitment to delivering thoughtful designs, high-quality construction, and spaces our clients love for years to come.
