Porticos

At MJG Contracting Corp., we sculpt architectural front entrances that elevate curb appeal and home value. A recent Huntington portico project demonstrates our comprehensive craftsmanship: from engineered foundations to cultured stone and fiberglass columns, each detail was executed for structural integrity and visual impact.

Concrete Footings: Engineered to frost‑depth to support entry structures securely.
Cultured Stone Base: Enhances visual weight and protects from moisture—integrated into the stone-to-column transition.
Fiberglass Columns: Lightweight yet highly durable—ideal for outdoor exposure.
Synthetic Stone & Trim: Decorative accents that align with façade aesthetics.
Precision Framing: Structurally engineered carpentry under every fascia, rafter, and beam.

A well‑executed portico is more than a canopy—it’s a focal point that commands attention and improves function.

Curb Appeal & First Impressions
A well-proportioned portico frames the front door, enhancing depth, balance, and architectural presence—and making your home stand out in the market.
Weather Protection
It shelters entryways from rain, snow, and sun—preserving your door and entry finishes while offering comfortable ingress.

Porticos are proven to boost perceived property value—delivering visual sophistication at a fraction of the cost of major additions.
