4. Roof
Choose from a variety of roofline options to suit your design preference.
5. Ceiling Type
Choose from a variety of ceiling options to suit your design preference.
Flat Ceiling: A flat ceiling is level and runs horizontally across the top of a room, parallel to the floor.
Vaulted Ceiling: A vaulted ceiling slopes upward toward the roof peak, creating a higher, more open space.
6. Open or Closed Gable
A gable is the triangular portion of a wall located between the edges of a sloped (pitched) roof.
Open Gable: The gable end is open and follows the slope of the roof, with exposed rafters or framing.
Closed Gable: The gable end is enclosed with siding, trim, or other materials to fully seal off the triangle beneath the roof slope.
7. Ceiling Material
Ceiling materials are the finishes and structural components used to cover the underside of a roof.
Vinyl Panels: Lightweight, interlocking plastic panels that can mimic woodgrain but are made entirely of vinyl.
Tongue and Groove: Boards are milled with a tongue on one side and a groove on the other, allowing them to interlock for a seamless, secure fit.
8. Screen and Windows
Screeneze:

4 Vertical Track Windows: A 4-track vertical window system is a type of flexible window used to provide adjustable ventilation and protection from the elements. The flexible 4-track vents slide effortlessly to open up to 75% of the space, allowing maximum ventilation when desired. Constructed with durable, low-maintenance materials, the system is ideal for homeowners looking to enjoy their porches year-round without compromising on comfort or style. Designed with memory-flex vinyl glazing, this system offers a unique balance between open-air ambiance and weather protection, shielding against rain, wind, and pollen while maintaining a light, airy feel.
9. Rails
You have several railing options to choose from, including pressure-treated wood, vinyl, aluminum, and composite.
