Expert Porch construction in Whatcom County, WA

A well-built porch adds usable outdoor living space and improves how your home looks from the street. Sherman General Contracting LLC handles porch construction for homeowners throughout Whatcom County, from framing and footings to the finished surface and roof structure. Whatcom County's marine climate brings persistent rain, wind-driven moisture, and long damp seasons that can shorten the life of a porch built without proper drainage and weather-resistant detailing. We plan each project around those local conditions so the structure holds up through years of wet winters and humid shoulder seasons. Whether you want a covered front entry or a larger wraparound porch, we approach every build with the craftsmanship and integrity that have guided our work since we founded this company. We serve homeowners across Whatcom County and take pride in building relationships as solid as the structures we frame. Contact us to talk through your porch project.

FAQ

Porch construction FAQ

Common questions about porch construction in Whatcom County, WA.

Do I need a permit to build a porch in Whatcom County?

Most porch construction projects in Whatcom County require a building permit, especially when a roof structure or new footings are involved. We can walk you through what your specific project will need before work begins.

How do I know if my porch design will hold up in Whatcom County's wet weather?

A porch built for Whatcom County's climate needs proper drainage, weather-resistant fasteners, and a roof or overhang that sheds water away from the structure. We design with those local conditions in mind from the start.

We loved working with Sam and having him build this wheelchair ramp! He came in under other bids in time frame and cost. Great communicating when he would be on site and when different materials would be available. Respectful of our home and cleaned up really well at the end of the job. Sherman contracting is our new go-to for any contracting job.

Sam came and took a gigantic cottonwood tree down for me at my front driveway. His services were prompt, quality, and affordable. Would recommend to 10/10. Thanks again Sherman General Contracting 🍻

Sherman General Contraction did some significant work on our home. They did a fantastic job and I would highly recommend them. Their lead carpenter was a very skilled craftsman at the highest level.

Look no further. Sam is your guy! We just had a full bathroom remodel done and have nothing but great things to say about Sam and his crew. My husband and I have had one bad contractor experience after another for the last 4 years and Sam restored our faith in the industry. All of them are kind, respectful and skilled at what they do. They did absolutely beautiful work; they paid attention to all of the small details and noticed everything before we did so we didn’t have to point out any touch ups. We had a large amount of tile work and it was executed flawlessly. They finished on time and slightly below the estimate. We couldn’t be happier.

Sam is an excellent and knowledgeable contractor- easy to work with and really knows his stuff!
