    You couldn’t have a better situation for a basic gable roof over the front porch!!!!

      Looks exactly like what I need. I hope to paint or white-wash the brick and reside the exterior. That way I can redo the front door and replace it with a door and side lites. The interior foyer is dark and has low ceilings.

      I agree with TJP designs and constructions. Do you live on the east coast???

      That would have been my first suggestion as well. Simple, inexpensive and functional

      Yes, a gable roof over the door. Looks like you are ready for new shingles and a new driveway. Pull the driveway away from the front door and create a wider planting bed between the driveway and the house facade - too much hardscape against hardscape.

      Maybe it's just the photos, but a porch may be the least of your concerns...has your house settled so much that it isn't square. I thought it was just the one photo but from all angles it appears to be settling into the center. Have an engineer, architect or at least a reliable house inspector check this issue before you start throwing good money after bad.

      Mary, are you referring to the left interior corner of the dog house gable end pop out? It may be just camera fisheye perspective...but maybe not!

      I thought that maybe it was just a camera angle at first but look at the shot of the door...I'd hate to be the installer of any door that has to fit in that obtuse angle
