Chicagoland porch builders break down the cost of a porch
If you’re starting your search for porch builders, one of the first questions that comes to mind is, “What is the average cost of a porch?” Like any other home improvement project, the cost of designing and building a porch depends on multiple factors. At Archadeck of Chicagoland, our custom porches typically start around $45,000, but the final price is determined after evaluation, discussion, and collaboration.
Factors That Influence the Cost of a Porch
Size
Let’s start with one of the most significant factors, size. A larger porch requires more time, materials, and labor, causing the price to rise. At Archadeck we will work with you to understand how you want to use your porch and what size fits your space and lifestyle.

Materials
When selecting materials, it’s important to discuss the costs as they impact the final price. We typically build our porches in cedar. You can wrap posts in a composite material but this will cause the price to rise. Also, when designing a porch your enclosure choice will affect the price. Typically, you decide between screens, 4-track windows, glass windows, or an open porch.
When searching for porch builders find a company that will work with your current space and aesthetic preferences. As a custom design & build company, we focus on understanding your expectations before designing your dream porch. There are a lot of small details homeowners don’t think about and we want to ensure there are no surprises once it’s built. Some design details that affect the cost of a porch are the roof style, ceiling, decking, window style, porch style, electrical, and more.
Local Building Codes and Permits
Depending on your location, local building codes and permits may affect your project’s timeline and budget. In some areas, stricter regulations or more complex permitting processes can cause additional expenses. At Archadeck, we handle all necessary permits to ensure your project complies with local standards, but we ask for reimbursement for the permit fee at the end of the job. It’s important to factor potential fees like this into your budget so you aren’t surprised with a bill at the end.
