What the job involves
A covered porch is a roof on posts or columns over a floor, open on the sides. The floor is either a deck frame or a concrete slab, and the roof is framed onto the house or built to match it, then finished with roofing, trim and often a ceiling.
Screening the sides in makes it a screened porch, which adds screen panels, framing and a door and usually costs more. A pergola is the lighter option: an open frame overhead with no solid roof, so it gives partial shade and no shelter from rain.
If the porch needs a new concrete slab, ask whether the builder pours it or brings in a concrete company, since the slab may be priced on its own.
What moves the price
- Front or back
- A front porch is on display and often gets more trim, railings and column detail than a back porch, which adds cost.
- Gutters and downspouts
- New gutters along the porch edge keep water off the steps and away from the foundation, and they add to the bill.
- Railings on a raised floor
- A porch floor set well above the ground may need railings, and the railing style changes the price.
- Framing for screens later
- Some owners have a covered porch framed so screens can go in later. Planning for it now adds some framing but can save rework.
- Removing an old stoop
- Tearing out an old stoop, steps or porch roof before building adds demolition and hauling.
Getting a quote
Questions to ask each deck builder before you compare prices:
- Is the floor a deck frame or a concrete slab, and how high will it sit?
- Will the roof be a shed roof or a gable, and how does it meet the house?
- Are gutters and downspouts included along the porch edge?
- Does the price include a finished ceiling, or are the rafters left open?
- What would it add to frame the porch so screens can go in later?

Where this number comes from
We collect these prices with our own crawler, which reads the public websites of Georgia deck builders and follows each site's robots.txt rules. It has read 179 of their websites so far. Each range is the middle half of the prices those businesses post, collected November 2026.
A price list is what a business says it charges; a cost guide is a business's own estimate of what the job usually runs in Georgia. We never name the businesses behind a range. How we collect and check decks and porches prices.
