Re: tying the porch roof into the main house... I'll add I'd also go with 5/8 CDX ply for the roof sheathing. That added 1/8 goes a long way to resist uplift , and as you know wind in your area is a BIG issue.
The big lesson here is to inspect both the bottom and top of your porch columns. Whether you have steel posts, brick supports or wood columns like mine itâs a good idea to take a close look at them for rot, rust, or severe damage because if theyâre weak your porch could collapse.
