Default Bougainvillea Front 'Porch' Improvements

Mike wife and I really like to sit in the front porch area of our Bougainvillea house. But it has zero improvements. It just the small standard concrete slab.

Even simply enlarging the slab so we could fit a table and chairs is a possibility. But we'did like to consider something a bit more substantial...without losing the outdoor feel.

Anybody done such an improvement? Or have any suggestions or ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Several neighbors have screened in the front porch, like a small birdcage. One had additional concrete poured, and small walls with additional lights installed. Drive around the villages, and you will see many different ideas. Good luck.

We expanded our living area and we also live in a Bougainvillea. Drive by 3622 Auburndale Av. (Summerhill).

You don't happen to know any contractors that were used for such work, do you?

Anybody else? The wife and I are getting pretty serious now, so we could use some recommendations for a company that provides such a service.
