Our Story

Founded by DMV native David Lanxner, Porch & Portico was created to be a company small enough to maintain high quality standards, yet large enough to meet the wide range of client needs. By building strong relationships with trusted trade specialists and earning the loyalty of happy customers, Porch & Portico has grown into the company it is now.

David has always had a deep appreciation for architecture and design, along with the mindset of a craftsman. He began as a teenager working in residential and commercial painting and wall coverings, then expanded his skills into carpentry, tile work, and computer design. Today, as a licensed general contractor along with the help of a team of master tradespeople, he takes pride in delivering meaningful quality-of-life improvements for his clients while maintaining a positive, safe, and clean work environment.
