He kept the home's original Dutch door but rebuilt the bluestone steps. He then added four new cedar porch columns with braces, and a porch deck made of fir.
Painted cedar railings, finial-topped newel posts, and a pair of built-in benches round out the details. Aligning the base of the porch roof with the houses's frieze board, which separates the first and second floors, marries the entry to the house and makes it look as though it has always been there.
COST: About $9,000
