I recently completed a total DIY front porch makeover on our older ranch style home. Because the front porch is such a significant focal point on our home, completing front porch makeover was a no-brainer in our quest to increase the curb appeal of our home. This video gives specifics on dismantling the old portions of the porch that needed to be taken care of before beginning the process of wrapping the front porch posts.
