We can help you choose based on the look of your home and budget. As a rule of thumb, larger-sized spindles and ornamental railing tends to be more costly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684d8f77b5098b0e0446b0c1/870e67e4-a8bb-4352-89ca-8206c79fa968/IMG_0963.PNG.jpeg Home St. Charles Ave--Ornamental railing and new front porches can completely enhance the look of historical Lakewood homes as shown in this complete front porch replacement we constructed in 2022.

We've also narrowed down several manufacturers that provide lifetime guarantees with their porch flooring products. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684d8f77b5098b0e0446b0c1/34043ed9-01cd-4d94-bf6b-cf2a20cbfd28/IMG_0050.jpeg Home Ogontz Ave--Cedar porch ceilings, columns (and railing) is a good choice for exterior applications, with relatively low maintenance provided a coat of READY-SEAL is applied every several years. It's much easier than staining, and brushes on like water which contains different tints and UV inhibitors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684d8f77b5098b0e0446b0c1/2171c4bb-16de-40d8-895c-478b18fc46b0/IMG_6676.jpeg Home Wagar Ave--PVC railing can be a great, budget friendly choice that also looks clean and provides maintenance-free enjoyment of your porch.

Sometimes living spaces are located under porches (basements), or roofs which also serve as balconies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684d8f77b5098b0e0446b0c1/079d4ba4-8cdf-45b8-83ca-d5da2a5c6577/IMG_5296.jpeg Home St. Charles Ave--Custom milled and fabricated columns can be made, or we can also order wood or fiberglass historically-styled columns, often referred to as Tuscan (round) columns, tapered columns, or New-England (square) columns. It is not uncommon to change styles of columns (or railing) based on personal preferences, but all installs conform to local and state code. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684d8f77b5098b0e0446b0c1/c882b1fe-ae2a-45ce-ad3a-9a97f2ea65a2/348817322_2265646986969781_6842974987765061119_n.jpg Home Westwood Ave--The City of Lakewood Housing and Building Department does NOT require tall railing as long as the existing railing is short in order to maintain the look of historical homes, however, if your railing is already taller, we can provide options to compliment the look of century homes. https://www.lakewoodporch.com/about daily 0.75 2025-07-05 https://www.lakewoodporch.com/contact daily 0.75 2026-04-03 https://www.lakewoodporch.com/services daily 0.75 2025-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684d8f77b5098b0e0446b0c1/7d3e81a5-0721-48da-a476-831517d03eb6/PVC-Column-Wraps-Tapered.jpg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684d8f77b5098b0e0446b0c1/630c5f33-3627-4940-8b44-1defd6f8896a/royal-corinthian-pvc-railing-system3-2048x1152.jpg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684d8f77b5098b0e0446b0c1/915ef3cf-1c33-41ae-8bf4-69e1b49759a9/Aeratis_Heritage_DuraTech_3-2.png Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684d8f77b5098b0e0446b0c1/a0f04638-7c19-4c59-8a03-643de314f170/Lattice-3.jpg Services https://www.lakewoodporch.com/appointments daily 0.75 2025-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684d8f77b5098b0e0446b0c1/1722371754.252444-GZDTZVSSSJPFRVZNHHSF/imgg-od3-9amioxxj.png https://www.lakewoodporch.com/gallery daily 0.75 2025-10-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684d8f77b5098b0e0446b0c1/7966c72d-85d6-43a9-b15d-c16438dc4796/tempImageZOOl2T.jpg Gallery Wagar Ave https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684d8f77b5098b0e0446b0c1/ce229d76-2529-4091-ba58-0c3e352bad31/tempImageSrf1f5.png Gallery Westwood Ave https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684d8f77b5098b0e0446b0c1/4075c2dc-f00a-48b7-9402-a07c18712ce1/IMG_7796.JPEG Gallery Onondaga Ave https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684d8f77b5098b0e0446b0c1/9f8f86e3-5dda-45ce-8ab2-78dc6682ee07/tempImagea6oULZ.png Gallery Rosewood Ave https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684d8f77b5098b0e0446b0c1/af5c193e-d10e-4a77-964d-05e6fd2cfe0a/tempImageFjUEmR.png Gallery Lakeland Ave https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684d8f77b5098b0e0446b0c1/07b828a4-f1f5-45c1-a0c6-b1e99ca9a324/033-1252-Giel.jpg Gallery Geil Ave https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684d8f77b5098b0e0446b0c1/2096caa3-dc6e-4eb0-8c85-d12c5b55106c/IMG_5299.jpg Gallery St Charles Ave https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684d8f77b5098b0e0446b0c1/2171c4bb-16de-40d8-895c-478b18fc46b0/IMG_6676.jpeg Gallery Front walkway leading to front porch with PVC flooring and railing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684d8f77b5098b0e0446b0c1/e78c4a20-c83b-4129-b6b0-450b81358eeb/IMG_6455.jpeg Gallery Woodward Ave https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684d8f77b5098b0e0446b0c1/019cd3de-6df2-4166-b97b-f75adbd309bc/IMG_6143.jpeg Gallery Red roses growing on a trellis in front of a wooden porch railing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684d8f77b5098b0e0446b0c1/9156b9ac-f06e-4481-aaa4-8508359ae722/IMG_6127.jpeg Gallery Installing tongue and groove PVC porch flooring with a flooring nailer and stainless steel cleat nails for a front porch https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684d8f77b5098b0e0446b0c1/8a2069bf-de7c-44f3-811a-e7f6ed25f7f9/IMG_5991.jpeg Gallery Hemlock and cedar railing with balusters and a flat top handrail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684d8f77b5098b0e0446b0c1/079d4ba4-8cdf-45b8-83ca-d5da2a5c6577/IMG_5296.jpeg Gallery Newly constructed house porch with wooden and white railing, brick support columns, and a wooden ceiling, surrounded by greenery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684d8f77b5098b0e0446b0c1/2b0bc474-116f-45a9-918e-5286d9f02f34/IMG_0242.jpeg Gallery Front view of a two-story house with yellow doors, a porch with stairs, and a large balcony above.
