How much does a small front portico cost compared to a full porch?

A small front portico is generally much less expensive than a full porch. For a basic portico, you can expect costs to range from about $5,000–$15,000, depending on design, materials, and size. In contrast, a full front porch—complete with flooring, railings, a roof, and possibly additional features—typically starts around $20,000 and can increase based on complexity and custom details.

Factors like your home’s design, desired materials, and labor requirements will impact the final price, so it’s best to get a personalized quote for your specific project.
