A well-designed front porch can completely transform the appearance of a home. For this renovation project, RPM Painting helped create a stunning new exterior by combining natural stone, custom-built architectural features, and detailed handrail work to give the home a distinctive and timeless look.
The project included a front porch renovation, construction of real stone pillars with custom columns, a custom-built truss, unique handrails, and the installation of new rock on the home. Every element was carefully designed to complement the existing architecture while giving the property a fresh, updated appearance.
Complete Front Porch Renovation
The front porch is one of the first things people notice when approaching a home. Because of this, the goal was to create an inviting entrance that would enhance both the home’s curb appeal and its architectural character.
RPM Painting worked on several key elements of the porch, including the structural and decorative components. The finished design combines traditional materials with modern details, creating an exterior that feels both elegant and durable.
Real Stone Pillars and Custom Columns
One of the standout features of the renovation was the construction of real stone pillars.
Natural stone provides a strong architectural presence and can add warmth, texture, and character to a home’s exterior. The stone pillars were paired with custom columns, creating a balanced transition between the porch structure and the rest of the home.
The combination of real stone and custom-built columns gives the front entrance a substantial, high-end appearance while complementing the home’s existing design.
Custom-Built Truss
Another important feature of the project was the addition of a custom-built truss.
A properly designed truss can add significant visual interest to a front porch while helping define the architectural style of the entrance. Rather than using a standard, off-the-shelf design, this project incorporated a custom truss specifically suited to the home’s new porch structure.
The result is a unique feature that helps make the renovated entrance stand out.
Unique Handrails with Triple Spindle Spacing
The handrails were another area where custom detailing played an important role.
RPM Painting incorporated unique triple spindle spacing with square metal spindles, creating a clean and distinctive appearance. The square metal spindles provide a modern contrast against the natural stone and other traditional materials used throughout the renovation.
This combination of materials helps create an exterior that feels both classic and contemporary.
New Rock Installation on the Home
As part of the renovation, the existing rock on the home was removed and replaced with new rock.
Replacing exterior rock can dramatically change the appearance of a property. The new installation was designed to work with the updated front porch, stone pillars, columns, and other architectural elements.
By coordinating the rock installation with the rest of the renovation, the project achieved a more cohesive exterior design rather than treating each feature as a separate improvement.
A Complete Exterior Transformation
This project demonstrates how multiple exterior improvements can work together to create a completely refreshed home.

Why Choose Custom Exterior Renovations?
Custom exterior renovations allow homeowners to create a design that fits their property’s architecture instead of relying on generic materials or standard designs.
Features such as custom stone pillars, architectural columns, decorative trusses, and custom handrails can add character while improving the overall curb appeal of a home.
Using different materials—such as natural stone and metal—can also create attractive contrasts and add depth to the exterior design.
