A finished entrance
Properly proportioned, cleanly finished columns make an entrance feel designed rather than added-on.
04 · Service
Entrance columns with real presence — finished to last.
Columns anchor an entrance and carry the eye up the facade. We build and clad porch posts, entry columns and structural pillars, then finish them in wood-grain stucco, smooth acrylic or a limestone look — wrapped in the same mesh-and-base-coat system as the walls so the finish is hard, seamless and weatherproof.
Whether you are dressing existing structural posts or building new columns into a portico, the goal is the same: clean proportions, crisp bases and capitals, and a finish that matches the rest of the home.

Why it's worth it
What you get.
One material story
Because columns finish in the same system as the walls and mouldings, the whole facade reads as one cohesive piece.
Warmth without the upkeep
A wood-grain finish gives porch posts the warmth of timber with none of the rot, repainting or insect risk.

Good to know.
Can you finish my existing porch posts?
Yes. We commonly wrap and finish existing structural posts to match a new stucco or stone facade — it is one of the most cost-effective ways to lift an entrance.
What finishes work on columns?
Wood-grain stucco for warmth, smooth acrylic for a modern look, or a limestone finish for a classic stone presence. All are applied over the same mesh-and-base-coat system.
