A porch cap is a concrete or stone topping placed on columns, piers, or posts. Caps overhang the column edges to shed water away from the structure, preventing moisture damage. They also provide finished architectural appearance and can add decorative character to plain columns.
Caps prevent water from soaking into column tops where brick mortar joints or wood end grain is exposed. Water infiltration causes brick spalling, mortar deterioration, wood rot, and freeze-thaw damage. Proper caps extend column life by decades while enhancing appearance.
Yes! We examine your existing caps, measure profiles and dimensions, and recreate matching designs. For historic homes, we can replicate period-appropriate details. We can also create caps that complement your home's architectural style.
Caps typically overhang column faces by 1-2 inches on all sides. Adequate overhang ensures water drips clear of the column rather than running down masonry or wood surfaces. We design proper overhang based on your specific column size and exposure.
