What is the Difference Between a Stoop and a Porch?

Many people tend to interchange these terms, but they have different features and specifications.

Having a pleasant, well-designed outdoor area on the front of your home is essential. Some people have a porch, while others have a stoop leading up to the front of their house. Many tend to interchange these terms, but they have different features and specifications.

Simply put, a stoop is the set of steps leading from the sidewalk or street to the front entrance or the porch attached to the home. A porch is the roofed area outside but attached to the walls of the house.

At Legion Pro, if you have an existing stoop, we can repair it or, if needed, replace it. We are also able to install or make repairs to your existing porch.

Stoop Repairs and Replacement

Well-designed masonry stoops increase the value and beauty of your home. There are many different designs and materials to choose from to ensure that the front of your home is original. Your options range from wood to natural or manufactured stone. You can also select a brick stoop or a solid poured concrete stoop. Depending on the height requirements, we can suggest multiple options that will ensure a long-lasting, safe, and durable stoop for your home.

After years of wear and tear, a stoop may require complete replacement or only some repair work. We will go over your stoop requirements and lay out your options to either repair your stoop or install a new one. We can also supply and install a metal or wooden railing for your stoop.

We will provide you with all your options and help you achieve the look and design you want while still providing durability and functionality to the stoop installation or stoop repair.

Porch Repairs and Replacement

Having a porch can be an excellent addition to any home. However, a porch is exposed to the natural elements, meaning when it snows, rains, or gets windy, it bears the brunt of wear and tear. Over the years, handrails may become loose, concrete footings and support posts can become damaged or weak, or the structure may cause erosion and drainage issues. Legion Pro can fix these issues and more!

We can inspect any damage and perform any repairs to your existing porch to ensure the area is safe, usable, and beautiful. We are also able to repair any of your porch fixtures, such as sitting areas, fire pits, or other features.

In some cases, though, your porch may be beyond a few simple repairs. This is especially true if it requires structural repairs. If this is the case with your porch, we can help by constructing a brand new porch for you.
