Custom Porches with Charm, Functionality, and Seasonal Comfort
At Artisan Deck & Outdoor Living, we specialize in creating custom porches that enhance your home’s beauty, functionality, and outdoor enjoyment. From charming front porches that boost curb appeal to screened-in porches ideal for breezy, bug-free relaxation, we design and build spaces that match your lifestyle. Want more seasonal use? Our enclosed porches offer comfort well into cooler months, while our covered patios provide seamless shade and shelter as an extension of your backyard. Whatever your vision, our team brings it to life with quality craftsmanship and thoughtful design.
Serving Madison and the neighboring communities of Verona, Middleton, Fitchburg, and Waunakee with pride, we offer the same award-winning craftsmanship, in-house design process, and one-on-one service to all of our porch projects as we do for our custom decks. From relaxing morning coffees to practical everyday use—like added storage, weather protection, or a convenient transition space—your porch will be a place to gather, organize, and enjoy the outdoors.
Our Porch Design & Build Process
We make the custom porch process easy and enjoyable from day one. Here is how we make your dream a reality:
1. Consultation & Preliminary Estimate – Where Inspiration Begins
We start with a no-pressure consultation to discover your goals, lifestyle needs, and aesthetic preferences. Do you dream of a classic farmhouse-style porch with columns and swing? Or a screened-in oasis that enables you to enjoy summer evenings bug-free? We'll lend a careful ear, offer creative suggestions, and walk your property to understand how your porch can integrate with your home and its surroundings.
After discussing your ideas and priorities with you, we'll provide a ballpark figure so you can make an informed decision about your investment.
2. In-House Design – Built for You, Not from a Template
Our in-house design team partners with you to create a porch that perfectly balances aesthetic appeal, practical functionality, and structural excellence. We'll develop comprehensive plans and lifelike virtual renderings that allow you to visualize your custom porch in stunning detail—long before construction begins.
As with our decks, we require a design agreement deposit to begin the creative process—an investment in time, detail, and collaboration.
Then, we will complete the layout, choose materials, and prepare construction drawings. From low-maintenance composite trim to traditional wood details, we will assist you in making selections that are functional, gorgeous, and suitable to Wisconsin's climate.
3. Build – Precision Craftsmanship, Start to Finish
Once permits are secured and materials are ready, our experienced crews handle all the construction details—from footings to finishes—with professionalism and care. We manage the process from beginning to end so you can be sure your porch is being built with expert attention to detail, weather-tight craftsmanship, and respect for your property.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you match the style of my existing home?
Absolutely. Our in-house design team collaborates closely with you to ensure your new porch seamlessly complements the architecture, materials, and overall style of your home. We carefully match siding, roofing, and trim to create a cohesive look—one that feels like it was always meant to be there.
While exact matches may not always be possible due to faded materials or discontinued colors, we go the extra mile to find the closest match and maintain visual harmony.
Do I need permits for a new porch?
Yes—but don't worry, we do all permitting and code compliance as part of our building process. We're familiar with local codes throughout Dane County and will handle all the details for you.
Do you build four season porches?
At this time, Artisan specializes in non-insulated porch enclosures designed for extended seasonal use, but not year-round living. Four-season rooms are considered full home additions and typically require insulation, and HVAC integration. For those projects, we recommend reaching out to a local remodeling expert like Heartland Building & Design.
Do you repair older screen porches?
We do upgrade and repair older screen porches. These projects are evaluated on an individual basis by our expert builders.
What kind of windows are available for an enclosed porch?
We offer three price points for porch windows, with a choice between memory vinyl and tempered glass, from Summer Space and Porch Windows Direct and Porch Conversions.
