Projects

This project included the pre-staining and finishing of the door in our Skagit County warehouse. Following the completion of the finish work, our team carefully hand-mortised the locksets to ensure a precise fit and clean installation. The door installation was completed using solid brass Baldwin locksets, along with the integration of a smart lock for enhanced security and functionality.

This project featured the custom construction and installation of high-quality cabinetry, built with solid maple face frames and durable birch plywood box construction to ensure long-term strength, stability, and a refined finish. Each cabinet was carefully crafted to maximize functionality while maintaining clean lines and precise joinery.

Prestige Home Services recently completed a custom entryway porch build for a homeowner in Coupeville, Washington, creating a beautiful and functional new entrance that enhances both curb appeal and outdoor living space. This custom porch was designed to complement the home’s architecture while providing a durable, low-maintenance solution built to withstand the unique weather conditions of Whidbey Island and Northwest Washington.

The project featured premium Wolf Decking for long-lasting performance and elegant aesthetics, paired with RDI Avalon Cable Railing to deliver a modern, open concept look that maximizes visibility and enhances the home’s exterior appearance. Our team carefully managed every phase of the construction process, from site preparation and framing to decking installation and finishing details.

Completed in just 12 days, this new front porch provides the homeowners with a welcoming entrance, increased property value, and a durable outdoor space they can enjoy for years to come.

Prestige Home Services completed this custom entryway porch in Mount Vernon, Washington, to create a more welcoming, durable, and clearly defined front entrance. The finished project combines low-maintenance TimberTech porch decking with RDI Avalon picket railing—materials selected to deliver a clean residential look while standing up to regular use and Northwest Washington weather.

Project Goals

A front porch has to do more than improve curb appeal. It is part of the home’s daily circulation, the first space visitors experience, and an exterior assembly that must manage moisture, foot traffic, and changing seasons. For this Mount Vernon project, the goal was to create an entry that felt integrated with the home while improving safety, usability, and long-term durability.

Scope of Work

• Build a new, finished entryway porch at the front of the home
• Install premium TimberTech porch decking for a refined, low-maintenance walking surface
• Install RDI Avalon picket railing to define the porch edge and support safe everyday use
• Coordinate the decking, railing, trim, and proportions for a cohesive finished appearance
• Complete the details with the clean fit and finish expected on a highly visible entry

Why TimberTech Porch Decking

TimberTech porch decking is a strong option for homeowners who want the appearance of a traditional porch floor without the recurring sanding, staining, and sealing associated with many wood surfaces. In the Skagit Valley, exterior materials are regularly exposed to rain, moisture, debris, and seasonal temperature changes. A properly installed low-maintenance porch surface can simplify ownership while preserving a polished look.

Material selection is only one part of performance. The supporting structure, board layout, fastening, drainage conditions, transitions, and edge details all influence how a porch looks and functions over time. Our approach considers the complete assembly rather than treating the visible decking as a stand-alone product.

RDI Avalon Picket Railing

The RDI Avalon picket railing gives the porch a timeless architectural profile while adding definition and safety. The railing system complements the clean lines of the decking and home exterior without making the entry feel visually heavy. On a compact or highly visible porch, proportions and alignment matter: post placement, rail height, spacing, and transitions should feel intentional from every approach.

Built for Mount Vernon Conditions

Outdoor construction in Mount Vernon and throughout Skagit County requires close attention to water management and material compatibility. Prestige Home Services evaluates how the porch connects to the home, how runoff can move away from the structure, and how exposed components will respond to the local climate. These details are important whether a homeowner is replacing an aging porch or creating a new entry from the ground up.

The Finished Result

The completed porch gives the home a more substantial and inviting entrance. The TimberTech surface provides a crisp, consistent finish, while the RDI railing frames the space and reinforces the porch’s residential character. Just as importantly, the project was planned as a complete exterior improvement—not simply a surface replacement.
