Summary:
This covered porch in Indian Hill, Ohio, was transformed into a bright and inviting 3-seasons room—creating a comfortable extension of the home that can be enjoyed nearly year-round. What was once a dark, enclosed space with heavy stone and trim details is now filled with natural light and a refreshing modern warmth.
The renovation introduced new windows, insulation, and refined finishes that blend indoor comfort with the feel of outdoor living. Light-toned walls, natural wood textures, and clean-lined trim create a calm and airy environment perfect for gatherings or quiet mornings. The updated design provides a seamless transition from the main house, enhancing both the home’s livability and its visual flow.
This project was thoughtfully designed in collaboration with Rachel Henry of Sanctuary Designs, whose refined aesthetic and attention to material balance helped achieve a space that feels both elevated and effortlessly welcoming.

Challenges & Solutions
Hidden Load Bearing Beams
Challenge:
When the walls were opened to install the new bi-parting door, we discovered unexpected steel columns that were load-bearing. This unforeseen structural element required a change in plan and added complexity to creating the desired wide opening.
Solution:
Our team adjusted on-site, carefully reframing the opening and installing a LVL beam to accommodate both the load-bearing columns and the new door system. This ensured the structural integrity of the home while achieving the clean, open transition between the main living area and the new 3-seasons room that the design intended.
What to Expect
Design Phase
This project was designed by Rachel Henry of Sanctuary Designs. Rachel worked closely with the client and worked through the overall floor plan, material selections, tile pattern, color palettes & textures that make this space complete.
Project Planning
During the design phase, we worked with Rachel & the client to establish a realistic budget for the project, timeframe, start date and more. Once the designs were completed, selections were made we had all the information to present a formal proposal.
Customer Onboarding
The customer is given access to Buildertrend, a platform where we manage all of our projects, providing the customer with daily updates for completed phases, submit change orders, secured payments & more.
Project Preparation
With the designs confirmed, selections made, budget set, time frame arranged & signed project proposal it was time to get started. With all material selections made, ordering was made easy. We ordered all the materials directly to our shop in preparation for the project start date and ensured all items were indeed correct and intact. Just one damaged item could have caused unnecessary lead time.
