FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a porch, a pergola and a sunroom?
A porch is a covered outdoor space attached to the house, open or screened. A pergola is an open frame structure that gives partial shade without a solid roof. A sunroom is an enclosed room with many windows that brings the outdoors in. PLJ builds all three.
Do I need a permit for a porch or sunroom?
Generally yes. Porches and sunrooms are structures attached to the house and usually need a building permit, and some pergolas do too. Projects near wetlands or in historic districts may need extra review. PLJ handles permits as part of the project.
Which materials last best for a porch near the water?
Composite or PVC decking, PVC trim and columns, and stainless or coated hardware resist salt air and moisture. Pressure treated framing rated for the exposure and good drainage under the floor help the structure last.
Can PLJ screen in my existing porch?
Often, yes. If the roof and framing are sound, we can add screen panels, a screen door and new trim. If the structure needs work, we repair it first.
