Porch & Outdoor Living Builder in Grayson County, KY
A good porch is where a Kentucky home really gets lived in. It is where you drink your coffee, watch a storm roll across the field and visit with neighbors on summer evenings. Goff Legacy Homes is a porch builder serving Leitchfield and all of Grayson County. We are a licensed and insured builder based in Leitchfield, and we build covered porches, screened porches and outdoor living spaces that look like they were part of the house from the start.
Porch Builder for Leitchfield and Grayson County Homes
Most homes around here are farmhouses, ranch homes and newer builds on a few acres, and almost all of them look better with a generous porch. Whether you live in town in Leitchfield or out toward Clarkson, Caneyville, Big Clifty or Falls of Rough, we plan each porch around your house, your lot and how you want to use the space.
Covered Porches
A covered porch gives you shade in July and a dry place to sit when it rains. We build front porches, back porches and wraparound porches with roofs framed to tie into your existing roofline. Posts, trim and finishes are matched to the house as closely as possible, so the new porch does not look tacked on. A covered porch off the back door is also a natural spot for a grill or an outdoor eating area.
Screened Porches
If you have spent an evening outside in a Grayson County summer, you know why screened porches are popular. A screened-in porch keeps the bugs out while letting the breeze through. We can build a new screened porch from the ground up or, in many cases, screen in an existing covered porch if the structure is sound. Ceiling fans and lighting can be planned in from the beginning.
Outdoor Living Spaces
Some homeowners want more than a porch. As an outdoor living contractor, we can tie several pieces together:
- Decks: low decks off the kitchen or raised decks on sloping lots, often connected to a covered porch.
- Pool decks: surrounds for above-ground and in-ground pools.
- Porch and deck combinations: covered space for shade with open deck space for sun.
- Replacements: new porches and decks where old ones have soft boards, loose railings or failing posts.
For deck-focused projects, see our Grayson County deck builder page or the page for your area: Clarkson, Caneyville, Big Clifty and Falls of Rough. In Leitchfield, visit our Leitchfield decks and porches page.
Built for Kentucky Weather
Humid summers, heavy spring rain and freeze-and-thaw winters are hard on anything built outside. We pay attention to the details that make a porch last: footings sized for the load, proper flashing where the porch meets the house, a roof pitch that sheds water, and lumber and fasteners suited for outdoor use. We will also walk you through wood and composite options and the upkeep each one needs.
How a Porch Project Works
- Visit: we look at the house, the roofline and the ground where the porch will go.
- Plan: we talk through size, layout, screening and finishes, and you check permit needs with the City of Leitchfield or Grayson County planning and zoning.
- Build: footings, framing, roof tie-in, decking, railings and trim.
- Walkthrough: we go over the finished porch together and handle the punch list.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you build porches in Leitchfield and Grayson County?
Yes. We build covered, screened and wraparound porches in Leitchfield and throughout Grayson County, including Clarkson, Caneyville, Big Clifty and Falls of Rough.
Can you screen in my existing porch?
Often, yes. If the existing posts, roof and floor are in good shape, we can screen in a covered porch. If not, we will explain what needs to be repaired or rebuilt first.
Will a new porch roof match my house?
That is the goal. We frame the porch roof to tie into your existing roofline and match trim, posts and finishes as closely as possible.
Do I need a permit for a porch?
Many porch projects need a permit. Check with the City of Leitchfield if you are inside city limits, or Grayson County planning and zoning if you are in the county.
