Porch replacement in Allentown, PA with Deckorators Sandbar decking, vinyl railings, waterproofing, and new roof by Upgryd.
Deckorators Venture Decking, New Roof, and Vinyl Railings Installed by Upgryd
This Allentown row home had a front porch that was creating more headaches than comfort. The old tile floor wasn’t just outdated — it was leaking water into the basement, leading to ongoing maintenance issues. Instead of a welcoming space, the porch had become a source of frustration. That’s when the family called Upgryd to deliver a long-term solution with both beauty and performance.
We started by removing the failing tile floor and damaged plywood, then installed a professional under-deck waterproofing system. This step was crucial — it protects the basement from water intrusion and keeps the structure of the home safe and dry. For many homeowners in Eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey, this kind of waterproofing is a game-changer. It stops costly water damage before it starts and ensures peace of mind year-round.
Once the base was secure, we installed a floating frame and Deckorators Venture decking in Sandbar. Unlike wood, this composite decking resists rot, warping, and splintering. That means no constant sanding or staining — just a beautiful surface that looks like real wood but requires a fraction of the upkeep. For busy families, this means less maintenance and more time enjoying their outdoor space.
The railing system was upgraded with white vinyl railings and black aluminum balusters. Beyond the fresh, modern look, these materials are durable and low-maintenance. They’ll never need to be repainted and will stand up to the harsh winters and humid summers common in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. For other homeowners, this type of upgrade delivers long-lasting curb appeal with minimal effort.
The roof was also rebuilt from the ground up with new sheathing, shingles, and a soffit ceiling. This not only adds strength and protection but also creates a clean, finished appearance that makes the porch feel brand new. Paired with 6x6 PVC column wraps, the entryway now has a timeless style that enhances the overall look of the home while reducing future upkeep.
By handling everything from waterproofing to decking, railings, and roofing, Upgryd provided a complete transformation. The family now enjoys a dry, stylish, and maintenance-friendly porch that feels like an extension of their living space.
