The Coastal Oak’s front porch
Charleston, SC
Moisture and time had taken their toll on Amy’s Charleston front porch. She wanted to recapture the classic style and memories made on her grandparents’ porch, but rotting, splintering, peeling paint, and endless maintenance led her to want something something better—TimberTech.
Meet Amy, from The Coastal Oak
“Our home looks brand new, and it will continue to look that way for years to come.”

Amy Romfro is a native Carolinian, mother of three, and a lover of all things décor and design. Her popular blog, The Coastal Oak, showcases her smart, beautiful, and often thrifty home design projects. For the front porch, Yardzen renderings helped bring her vision to life and TimberTech Decking and Railing help ensure it will last a lifetime.
Before
Dark top rails, trim, and stair treads as well as heavy balusters weighed down the front view of the house.
After
TimberTech’s airy balusters and white top rail keep the focus on the house itself.
Before
Deteriorating porch floorboards gave the grand entrance to the home an unwelcome look. The mixture of colors on the porch were not harmonious.
After
TimberTech Porch boards in Coastline added a weathered, not but worn appearance, keeping with the character of the house. Crisp white railing, columns, and shutters brightened up the entrance and reflect a classic Southern outdoor space.
The full-width front porch is the grand entryway to the house, a significant part of the façade, and an important outdoor living space for the family.
Amy’s appreciation for natural textures and appearances extends to her furniture, textiles and more. Her TimberTech Coastline Porch Boards have natural appeal that complements her style.
The TimberTech front porch is a relaxing gathering place whose look harmonizes with the rest of the home.
Before
The original porch and stairs experienced paint peeling, chipping, and wood rot. This was more than a cosmetic issue, it meant possible structural and safety hazards.
After
The classic design of TimberTech Porch and Railing will look beautiful for decades. High-tech materials mean no moisture issues, low-maintenance, and no painting ever.
The Premier top rail and post and cap treatments reinforce the traditional appearance for this historic Charleston home and add a pleasing contrast with the porch and stair surface.
